We left Guachochi a bit earlier than our usual 9:30 AM because the bike being parked right outside our room made loading everything a total breeze. We stopped at an Oxxo for a quick breakfast and then were on our way to Hidalgo del Parral – our first city since Hermosillo. The trip was […]
We left Creel after breakfast on Sunday morning and rode for about four hours before we got to Guachochi. The day was beautiful – sunny without being too hot – so the ride was pleasant. The place itself reminded us quite a bit of Yécora upon initial impression, but somehow a bit better. I guess […]
We left for the Barrancas del Cobre (Copper Canyon) after breakfast and arrived at the location in about an hour. We paid 20 pesos (~1.45 CAD) per person for the initial entry and then took a dirt road to where we could ride the gondola. There was some rain along the way so, unsurprisingly, the road […]
We had planned to visit the Copper Canyon on our first morning in Creel; however, after seeing rain in the forecast, we decided to post-pone the trip to the following day. Instead, after breakfast, we decided to explore Creel since it seemed like a charming little town. Perhaps this is due to the fact that […]
We were up bright and early on Wednesday morning. After cold showers (no hot water for the morning) and some coffee at a nearby Oxxo (Mexican convenience store chain, similar to 7-11 in North America), we were on the road at around 8:30 AM. The drive from Yécora to Basaseachi was incredible. The weather was finally […]
We left Hermosillo on Wednesday morning after breakfast and headed towards Yécora – a small town that falls between Hermosillo and Creel. We chose to stop here for the night because we planned to visit the Basaseachic Falls and didn’t want a long day of riding all the way to Creel, where we planned to stay to […]
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 […]
Our weekend in Banámichi was spent mostly working and helping our hosts with their website. We shot some footage of the hotel and surrounding area, and will be putting those up on our YouTube channel once they’re ready. Phil also went for a ride in the afternoon on Saturday with Tom and they crossed the Rio […]
Our first morning in Banámichi started with a hearty breakfast consisting of fresh fruits (mangoes, cantaloupes, and watermelons), scrambled eggs, beans, flour tortillas, orange juice, coffee, and tea. We did a bit of work post-breakfast and then our host, Tom, took us to the home of a couple, Stevan and Lucia, who are committed to sustainable […]
Our ride from Deming to Douglas on Wednesday morning was a short one at 2.5 hours. It wasn’t as scenic as what we had grown used to seeing so we didn’t stop as many times – just for the usual gas and water, mostly. We did have to pull over to the side of the […]
