This store is my lifeline when I'm out of water. I go there to recharge my batteries and drink water. In case you're interested, today (June 14, 2025), a 600ml can of Coca-Cola is $20 and various cookies are also $20 at that store, so you can leave with some cash in case you need to recharge along the way.

🔺 Tip for this section: Get ready for a technical descent that demands your full attention: giant boulders, uneven terrain, and treacherous corners will test your control and line selection. Lower the dropper post, keep your center of gravity low, and let the bike flow—don't fight the terrain, negotiate with it! Then relax as you circle a majestic lake that looks like something out of a fairy tale... but don't get carried away. What follows is a brutal climb: boulders as big as your will to give up, a savage incline, and terrain that forces you to combine brute force with fine technique. Here, every pedal stroke is a tactical decision. If you don't know where to put the front wheel, it will decide for you... and that won't always be a good idea. 💡 Key tip: lower pressures, use constant traction, and if you have to walk a section, do it with dignity: we've all been there. 😉

A long stretch of dirt road where your companions will be the loose stones until San Miguelito, although everything is rewarded when the descents begin.

With strength and heart you can climb this hill, which instead of relaxing becomes steeper and steeper. At first, it's very difficult, but everything is possible, it's just a matter of time and soon you'll be able to climb it without getting off the bike for a single second. 💪💪💪
