International Cyclist Tour Cruises Mazatlan this Summer

MAZATLAN, Mexico, June 18, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Mazatlan has become a central location for the sport of cycling, and this summer the city will host a major event not only for cyclists but for spectators as well. El Cid Vacations Club notes that the Mazatlán International Cycling Tour is now the only such event in all of Mexico that includes entrants in every category of official cycling competition.

Local cycling devotees came up with the idea nearly two decades ago, and were inspired by both the Mountain Bike World Cup and the Grand Pacifico Marathon, two of the sport's most prestigious events.

Mexico has long been an internationally competitive cycling nation. The summer event will draw upon the deep bench of local talent and dozens of international cycling stars, all of whom will be competing for the grand prize. El Cid Vacations Club notes that the summer cycling tour in Mazatlán has been a favorite of visitors and locals for the 17 years it has been held.

The festivities that surround the Mazatlán International Cycling Tour are as diverse and exciting as the race itself. Festivals, shopping bazaars, live entertainment, craft booths, and all kinds of outdoor fun accompany the tour each summer. According to El Cid Vacations Club, one need not be a cyclist to take part in the festivities. In many ways, the cycling event is a great reason to have one of the biggest parties of the entire summer.

The annual Mazatlán International Cycling Tour is testament to the city's powerful attraction as a sports, vacation and cultural center of the nation, where visitors and locals can enjoy year-round excitement. But because of the area's agreeable weather and diverse terrain, cycling is a natural choice for the outdoor-minded all through the year.

Mazatlán's mountain trails are perfect for casual cyclists as well, offering superb views of the ocean high above the cityscape. What the locals call "sunset biking" is a very popular pastime for groups of friends who want to spend a few hours on their bicycles as they roll along the scenic trails and byways, enjoying the lush surrounding and deep blue sky.

According to El Cid Vacations Club, the summer months are the best time to visit Mazatlán because of the many cultural events, the ideal weather, and the overall festive atmosphere that comes around every June and lingers on until late August. Cycling, swimming, sightseeing and just relaxing on the beaches are perfect ways to pass the summer days in Mazatlán.
