Ride Mexico the way locals dream it.
Eight days. Local guides who ride these exact trails on their days off. A route that runs from pine forest singletrack at 3,100 m down to Pacific surf breaks, with a mezcal palenque, an alebrijes workshop, and a few thousand meters of descending along the way.
Mexico has some of the best riding on the planet. Almost nobody outside it knows that yet.
We are not a tour company that added Mexico to a catalog. We live here. Every switchback, every hotel, every stop on this route earned its place because we have personally ridden and vetted it, not because it looked good in a brochure.
This is not a bike trip with some culture bolted on. It is Mexico, seen from a saddle: the sierra, the coast, the mezcal palenques, the artisans who have been weaving and carving here for generations. The riding is real, intermediate to advanced, and so is everything around it.
Epic Trails,
Mezcal & Pacific Surf
From Mexico City's Desierto de los Leones, down to the high desert singletrack of Ajalpan, into Oaxaca's Sierra Norte for two days of pine needle flow most riders will never find on their own, then down to Puerto Escondido to trade your bike shoes for a surfboard.

Local, not licensed out
Every guide on this route rides it themselves, year round. No fly-in staff, no scripts.
Small groups, real attention
We cap group size so your guides actually know your name, and your skill level, by day two.
Bikes are protected, not just packed
Your bike travels with dedicated ground transport and a professional driver on every transfer, looked after at every stage of the route.
Built for riders who also want the country
Food, mezcal, craft and conversation are part of the route, not an afterthought squeezed in between rides.
You ride singletrack at least semi regularly. You are comfortable with rocky descents, technical climbs and a few long days in the saddle. You want a trip that pushes you a little, and rewards you a lot, on and off the bike.
"Quote about the trails, the guides, the food, the feeling of the trip."
