As this was going to be a 110k ride through a mountain pass, we left at 7:00am in order to take advantage of the first few hours of foggy, cool weather. This was the most scenic ride of the trip thus far. We also encountered the steepest hills which proved challenging, especially when the sun came out. Lots of farm land, the smell of fresh oranges, coconuts and tropical vegetation made the ride enjoyable. The road was a bit rough, with broken pavement and large trucks that used this highway which, ironically, was called the "Hummingbird Highway".
After 6 hours in the saddle we arrived at Macaroni Hill. Not much here but the hotel which is 100% Bilezean family owned and operated and has a good view of the Maya mountains.
We were all feeling the ride today but were buoyed by a great feeling of accomplishment. What some people will do for fun!
