A New Adventure in Bucerías

As a professional surfer, I’ve spent countless hours chasing waves along the sun-drenched coasts of Central America. But this time, I decided to swap my surfboard for a bicycle and explore the beautiful countryside of Bucerías, Mexico. The idea of a bicycle tour intrigued me, and I was eager to see what this charming town had to offer beyond its sandy shores.

Upon arriving in Bucerías, I was greeted by the warm, salty breeze that I had come to love. The town itself was a vibrant mix of colors and sounds, with the ocean never too far away. I met up with my local VeloGuide at Bici Bucerias, where I was set up with a top-notch Specialized road bike. It was a relief not to have to lug my own bike across borders, and the fit was perfect. With my shoes and pedals in hand, I was ready to embark on this new adventure.

Discovering Hidden Gems

The tour took us east of Bucerías, away from the bustling beach scene and into the serene countryside. As we pedaled through lush farmland and quaint towns, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of freedom. The roads were quiet, and the drivers were surprisingly courteous, a stark contrast to some of the busier cities I’ve biked through.

Our route included a variety of terrains, from flat stretches along the ocean to rolling hills and even some challenging climbs in the Sierra Madre. Each turn revealed a new landscape, and I was constantly amazed by the beauty of the Mexican countryside. The VeloGuide was knowledgeable and adapted the pace to suit our group, ensuring that everyone could enjoy the ride at their own comfort level.

We made several stops along the way, taking in the sights and enjoying small snacks and water provided by our guide. It was a leisurely ride, allowing us to soak in the surroundings and truly appreciate the journey. I found myself lost in the moment, the worries of the world left behind as I embraced the simplicity of life on two wheels.

A Journey Worth Repeating

Reflecting on the experience, I realized that this bicycle tour was more than just a ride through the countryside. It was an opportunity to connect with the land and its people, to see a side of Mexico that I might have missed otherwise. The camaraderie among the riders and the friendly locals we encountered along the way added to the richness of the experience.

As someone who thrives on adventure, this tour was a refreshing change of pace. It reminded me that there’s more to explore beyond the waves, and that sometimes, the best way to discover a place is by slowing down and taking the road less traveled. Bucerías, with its stunning landscapes and welcoming community, has certainly earned a spot in my heart.

Would I do it again? Absolutely. In fact, I’m already planning my next trip, eager to uncover more of the hidden gems that this beautiful region has to offer. Until then, I’ll be dreaming of the open road and the endless possibilities that await on the horizon.
