I had an incredible day riding to the Xinantécatl volcano with Moises. He was waiting at the shop with the bike ready to go when I arrived. The bike itself was a nearly new Versys 650 in perfect condition. He gave me all the gear I needed and even some spare mounts to mount my GoPro on the bike. He then gave me some tips on the route we were taking and riding in Mexico in general and we set off.
Following Moises on the bike was easy, fast enough to be challenging and fun but not so fast that I ever felt uncomfortable. I'm sure he could have gone a lot faster given his racing background!
The scenery around the countryside and the volcano was beautiful, as was the lake where we stopped for lunch in a floating restaurant. On the way back we hit some sudden, heavy rain but Moises was prepared and pulled over to put on rain gear right before the rain came down.
This tour is an essential experience for any biker travelling to Mexico City.
