Majahaul Jan 28th

After a few relaxing days on the beach on Survivor Mayan, the tribes merged as Kerry, Barry, Richard, Peter, Isabel and Tanya arrived in Majahual. We were pleased that they found the ride as enduring as us.  The quaint little village of Majahual turned into a tourista place as 2 cruise ships docked at a Port near by. Thankfully our bungalows are located down the boardwalk from the vendors that magically appeared when the cruise ships arrived. 

FCP to Majahaul

Jan 26th was our most gruelling ride from FCP to Majahual. The 128k ride was tedious as there was very little to see. The sun was shining, with headwinds and again very little amenities along the route. We stopped off at a roadside family restaurant where they served us BBQ chicken, rice, spaghetti, and tortillas made from scratch while the children watched cartoons on TV. The miles slowly ticked away. It was well worth the ride when we arrived at a small seaside town of Majahual and checked into our quaint bungalows located on the beach. Here we will relax for the next 4 days and wait for the remaining 6 cyclists to join us

Tulum To Felipe Carrillo Puerto

Jan 24th the 3 Gringos rode 100k to Felipe Carrillo Puerto along a very good road that still had a bike lane. The sun was shining and the traffic was  a little less hectic since leaving Tulum. There were very little amenities along  the way. We stopped by the only roadside restaurant, "quaint" for sure and quenched our thirst with Fanta orange pop for energy and stocked up on water. After a slight "challenge" with a roundabout upon arrival, we made it to Dominos pizza for dinner and found cheap, comfortable and clean accomodation for three, with free wifi.

Playa de Carmen to Tulum

The first 3 of 10 cyclists (Roger, Rick and Tim) met at the Cancun airport on Jan 23rd. and took the local ADO bus to Playa del Carmen where we stayed at the Alux Hotel, assembled our bikes and explored the town. Tanya did arrive later in the evening, unfortunately without her bike. Hopefully it will arrive before the next 5 cyclists arrive on Jan 25th.
Roger, Rick and myself left the following morning to Tulum. Roger ingeniously rigged a set of wheels to tow his bike box along with Ricks cardboard bike box 20k to a storage place in Puerto Venturous as that is where they plan to leave from. Life was good until he hit a speed bump and bent the axel. After a road side repair we were off again. It was a cloudy but perfect day for our first ride to Tulum.
