Guadelupe Victoria, Puebla to Apizaco, Tlaxcala | 3 days riding | 105 km

 

 

I hung out in Guadelupe Victoria, then made my way towards Tlaxcala, via some salt flats! It was a weird day riding thru some kind of salt bog, but we made it to Carmen, then after a couple hours, found our place to stay. It was quite the night.
