Ricon is a really nice area of Puerto Rico. I went to a famous bar there, right on the beach, but I can't remember its name. Medalla served very cold is great beer for a light beer. For anyone who goes, I highly recommend that you try Puerto Rican coffee. In my opinion, its some of the best in the world.

I only rode in Puerto Rico once, and it was the most I had ever sweat in my life. It was ninety-some-odd degrees, with humidity to match. I can't imagine racing in it, but I'm from San Diego, and just not used to that kind of humidity.
