The Philtrons have just ridden the new toll road from Mazatlan to Durango, Mexico. A true adventure:
The Philtrons Pedal South: Day 177 - Mazatlan to Cuota km 195: The beginning of an incredible ride.
We had heard that the new toll road from Mazatlan to Durango was a feat of engineering through incredible scenery, so we decided to change our route and take this road instead. The road is about 230 km and rises from sea level to nearly 9,000'. En route it passes over 115 bridges and 63 tunnels, including the highest bridge in North America at 390 meters.
