This ride is the beginning of my crossing from the Sea of Cortez to the Pacific. It started off with a short section on the coast of the Sea of Cortez and then I started climbing up the hills. I think the highest elevation I reached was above 1600 feet. There were some steep sections of up to 12%.
After I made it up the climb, it was mainly slightly downhill on the plateau and I had impressive views of the inactive volcano Tres Virgenes. Besides the slight downhill, I also had a little bit of tail wind coming from the back of my right shoulder. Riding was very comfortable on the plateau.
I reached San Ignacio relatively early and I found a room at Hotel La Huerta.
