Overview
You will be picked up in air conditioned comfort at your hotel or condo, and drive to the ride site in Nuevo Vallarta or Bucerias. The recommended pick up time is 8am. You will receive all equipment including premium Shimano 105 - 11 speed road bicycle rental, helmet (if required) , plus snacks, hydration, and vehicle support where indicated. Please bring with you - your own clipless pedals, shoes, helmet, water bottles and your favorite cycling snacks. The ride is approximately 40 kilometers in length and the duration is approximately 2.5 hours - depending upon rider speed and number of stops along the way. On the ride you will utilize your 5 senses: taste, touch, smell, hearing and sight ! You may smell ripe Mangos ready for picking on the trees along the route . You may see the majestic Sierra Madre mountains in the distance. You may hear a donkey "hee-hawing" ! You may taste the local cuisine in a local taco stand. And you may touch a local flower growing wild in a field. You will be riding on a relatively quiet rural country road on good pavement. After riding in the Banderas Bay area, many of our clients agree that riding here is not only scenic but also safe. That said we should still be aware of our surroundings. As cyclists we do not have a steel frame around us for protection; therefore, we have to be vigilant. We must be watchful for not only vehicles but also debris and obstacles on the road. Here in Puerto Vallarta the dreaded tope is one such obstacle. Topes, or speed bumps in English, are a common speed reduction method here in Mexico. Not all topes are created equal. They vary in size and shape and are not always marked, so keep a keen eye. It’s hard to enjoy the ride if you are worried about being in harm’s way. We only take you where we feel safe to ride.

My husband and I went on this tour with Clarence the week of November 24th. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Clarence picked us up at our hotel, drove us to Bucerias and we began our cycling trip. We felt extremely safe and realized how generous and respectful Mexican drivers are while we are cycling. They stayed behind us until it was safe to pass and go way around us to make our cycling more enjoyable. Clarence was a great guide and gave us some history of the area, pointed out different spots, etc. We would definitely ride with Clarence again.

Great casual road ride through picturesque countryside and agricultural areas. Route is fairly flat and Clarence does an excellent job guiding through any road hazards and sets the speed at your preference. The bike was great and PV Cycling picks you up in Puerto Vallarta and brings you back - a wonderful benefit. Highly recommend.

Had the opportunity to ride with Clarence again, this time with my wife who is newer to road riding and let me say it was fantastic! Clarence was again well set up for our ride and quickly put all of my wife's concerns at ease, and once we got riding was able to set a perfect pace for our journey. A great day indeed, will be sure to ride with Clarence again when in PVR. Thanks!

I am a casual bike rider and and first was a tad over whelmed - not that the ride was long but I was not in biking shape. Clarence and two others were obviously in much better biking shape. Going out I stayed back but the trip back is what made me so appreciative of this company and Clarence. He ride with me the entire time placing me in the zone I loved. Clarence takes care of everything from picking you up at hotel making the accommodations you need for your day to be perfect. I will definitely do this again.

My wife and I enjoyed a great ride from Bucerias to San Juan, we were looking for something not to taxiing as it was the first ride of the season.
It was everything Clarence said it would be, flat, scenic and great pace.
Clarence provided everything we needed and bikes were great.
Will definitely go with them again when next in town.
