After a short 2.5-hour ride from Aguascalientes, we arrived in Guadalajara in the early afternoon. We stayed at the Expo Inn, which cost us 530 pesos (~37 CAD) for what was one of the cleanest rooms we have had so far. The room had all the amenities we could hope for, WiFi that was good […]
Our ride from Hidalgo del Parral to Durango was close to five hours long. We left in the morning at our usual time, had a quick lunch break in the middle, and then arrived at our destination in the afternoon. We stayed at a Best Western PLUS again, but much cheaper than Creel at 840 […]
We left Banámichi late Monday morning. We had narrowed down to three options for our next destination – Hermosillo, San Carlos, or Yécora. The first choice came when we reached Mazocahui, and had to decide between Hermosillo/San Carlos and Moctezuma/Sahuaripe/Yécora. We still had some work to finish, SIM cards to buy, and with the previous day’s […]
We started our first morning in Albuquerque a bit later than usual, but with the usual breakfast at Starbucks. We decided to spend the day doing a Breaking Bad tour so we looked up all the shooting locations of the show and visited the ones we wanted to see. We were successful in finding some […]
We ended up staying in Kingman for three nights so we had a couple of low-key days where we didn’t do a lot of riding other than the short trips for meals so that we could catch up on some remote work. Our first full day was almost entirely spent at a nearby Starbucks. We […]
Today started efficiently and relatively early as we were on the road at around 9:30 AM. After a late breakfast at Starbucks an hour later, we were back on the road and headed towards Oregon. We took the coastal route that took us through Astoria and was the more scenic option. We stopped at the […]
Today is the day that we packed our lives onto the bike and set out to begin on our long-anticipated adventure. The initial round of loading things on the bike didn’t work out so well because as soon as we started riding, Phil felt that the bike was too heavy with everything we loaded so […]
Since the rain had stopped, the trip to L.A. was just a little over 200km (2 hours), and I already had found another host in L.A. on couchsurfing.com, I decided to take the opportunity to visit San Diego first. First stop was in Barrio Logan, a colourful neighbourhood with a strong Mexican influence and history. Rafael […]
As I was checking out from the motel, I met two French guys in the parking lot who were going in the opposite direction. One of them was apparently living in the States (L.A. – I think) and had his own bike, a BMW. The other one was visiting for a couple of weeks around the region and […]
After a good night of quiet and peaceful rest in the middle of nowhere, I woke up relatively early and started the usual morning activities when camping – put my multiple layers of clothing on, pack things up, unmount the tent, warm up and eat some oatmeal, load the bike, check to ensure I’m not leaving […]
