I’ve only recently discovered the world of cycling in Puebla. If you’re a mountain biker, there are plenty of opportunities in our three mountains (La Malinche, Iztaccíhuatl, and Popocatépetl) and the surrounding hilly areas. One of the best known races is Popobike, which doesn’t take place on Popo proper but rather in its foothills.
And if you’re a road cyclist, it turns out all the two-lane highways leading out of Puebla are great for cycling with Popo and Izta as a backdrop, and for seeing some small towns along the way.

This church had the only public bathroom I could find. I also decided to make a photo opportunity out of my pit stop. 🙂
We stopped here to re-group. The name of this town turned out to be the very long San Juan Tianguismanalco.

Our “rosca de reyes,” or king’s bread, was a little hard on its “niños Dios” (the white plastic babies).
