The Cyclist’s Menu Wine Country Loop

1/21/2026, 52.7 miles,  5:24 hr: min, 2748 ft. vertical

This ride heads northeast out of Patagonia on Highway 82, on a good shoulder to Sonita.  The Spaniards have been growing wine in Sonita since the 16th century.  Later in the year, the wineries are a big attraction – not so muchin January. From Sonita, you head south on pavement, then right and over Canelo Pass on gravel, where many border control trucks were hanging out.  The ride drops down into the San Rafael Valley, connecting with the last part of the Patagonia 50.
