After I decided to stay another day in Loreto I thought it would be a good idea to get on the bike and do a day trip. I picked mission San Javier because of its proximity and popularity in Loreto. The proximity part didn’t exactly work out with the bike. It was quite a difficult climb. I saw 14% and once even a 15% gradient on my Garmin. But the views were spectacular and the mission was also very nice. I had a great lunch in the restaurant by the mission. I refilled my water and I headed back down. The ride down was fun and once again, the views really paid me back for all the hard work going up the hill.
