Mountain bike tour of Oaxaca, Mexico offered this fall

Andy Bohlmann over at Sand Creek Sports (based in Colorado Springs, CO) is organizing a guided mountain bike tour of Oaxaca, Mexico this September. The state of Oaxaca extends from Mexico’s southern-most Pacifc coastline (where Puerto Escondido is known as the Mexican Pipeline, drawing surfers from around the world) to the peaks of the Sierra Madres. The elevation changes make for some incredible mountain biking, and a 15 day tour of the state is sure to hit some of Mexico’s best singletrack.
The Sand Creek Sports tour will be led by Pedro Martinez, former cycling world champion and member of the Mexican national mountain bike team, who lives in Oaxaca. I was lucky enough to visit Oaxaca this past summer, and while I was there, I rented a bike from Sr. Martinez — an extremely nice guy with a shop full of quality mountain bikes.
