Chale-Cancun

This commonly used race route starts from one of the trails off the Puerto Chale side and connects to the main road toward Punta Cancun. The western section has a mix of hardpack with a few inches of sand in spots where it's blown over, but nothing too soft. Once you head east, the trail opens up and gets fast--about four miles of smooth terrain with minimal whoops and just a touch of sand that keeps the ride feeling soft but manageable. In dry conditions, 4WD isn't necessary, making this a great quick-connect from one side to the other. The rest of the route, continuing east to the Puerto Chale Highway, also offers a scenic, mildly technical ride--just enough to keep it fun.
