Working out in Ixtapa/Zihua...

Thanx for the replies, gents.

I have done the Hotel Zone to Playa Linda many times on both the ocean side road and the paved bike path through the nature preserve. Ocean side hills for great workouts and nature trail bike path for beautiful scenery. But the lonely roads at the top of the mountain that separates Zihua and Ixt are fairly creepy, and interesting, and possibly dangerous because of thugs.
