Miahuatlan – Huatulco

8 January 2013

Note : Videos on previous post have been updated Even though I’d been feeling bad the night before, when I woke up I was feeling better. I’d cleaned my water bottle to ensure that it wasn’t the cause, and then we headed out to start our climb up into the mountains. It was overcast, which [...]

DF -> Toluca -> Angangnueo

Even though the 3rd course at UNAM finished on the 3rd of December, we didn’t hit the road until the 12th which was good, although it was a shame about the circumstances. Back in September, I and Pedro had applied to change our status from tourists to students before our original 180 day visa ran [...]

Guamúchil -> Pericos

Tagged as: , , , , , ,

Pedro had barely slept in Guasave, was exhausted after the escapades of the previous day, and so decided to sleep in. Miguel rode out first and I went to a supermarket to get some snacks for the day. I am sure I’ll be going to their bakeries in the future because I was amazed by [...]

Guasave -> Guamúchil

27 May 2012

After the conversation back in Topolobampo about waking up late, I was happy that we’d packed the night before and were on the road before 7. Our riding style means that we head out together, but ride at different speeds. Generally I’m ahead and so when I see a Pemex (government owned petrol station), or [...]

Los Mochis -> Guasave

26 May 2012

Tagged as: , , , ,

Mexico 15 goes from the US border all the way down to Mexico City and so is a heavily travelled road. When we got on in the morning, there were a lot of trucks flying along, and it was easily the busiest road I’d been on since the US. Having said that, it had a [...]

Topolobampo -> Los Mochis

Before meeting Pedro, Miguel and I had figured that we’d ride from Topolobampo down to Guasave on our first day on the mainland, but Pedro’s knee was feeling sore and so he wasn’t thrilled with the idea. He preferred going 25 km down the road to Los Mochis and calling it a day there. Being [...]

La Paz -> Topolobampo

24 May 2012

Tagged as: , , , , , ,

Pedro’s knee had been feeling a little sore, so the hope was that a few days off in La Paz would give it a bit of time to recover. Unfortunately, that didn’t seem to be the case, so he set off first to go for a massage. The ferry to the mainland leaves about 20km [...]

Las Pocitas -> La Paz

Pedro, also known as YBP, gets up later than both Mike and myself, and so was left getting ready while we headed out to get some of the day’s 110+km done while there were still clouds in the sky. We made it over a few rolling climbs to El Cien, named because it’s 100km from [...]

Federal de Aguas -> Ciudad Constitución

19 May 2012

Tagged as: , , , ,

It turned out that Mike had got a lift to Ciudad Constitución, 25 km past Insurgentes, but still only 45km from where we had camped. Pedro and I slept in, and headed out quite late at a fairly relaxed pace. My only hope was to get to town in time to hopefully see Chelsea lose [...]

San Ignacio -> Santa Rosalia

We managed to get up a bit earlier and were out by around 7:30. We’d heard of ‘la cuesta del infierno‘ (the hill of hell) and wanted not to be sweltering when we got there. Towns in Baja like to be in valleys and so the descent we had enjoyed on the way into town [...]

Vizcaíno -> San Ignacio

11 May 2012

Tagged as: , , ,

While I enjoy camping, there’s definitely something to be said for staying in a motel. It’s so much easier to have everything packed the night before, meaning you can get from waking up to being on the road in 5 minutes. Mike and I haven’t got to that level, but it’s definitely something that I [...]

Guerrero -> Vizcaino

10 May 2012

With 20lb emptied out of Mike’s bags, we headed over to the post office to get it sent off. We tried to get it sent to the mainland, but thanks to a combination of mine and Mike’s Spanish we realised it wasn’t possible. Baja is considered a frontier state and so anything shipped to the [...]
