Summer is always hot here: 30/38°C and we have had some sporadic rains. By september it cools down, 25/30°C. Main highway fine. Roads into the sierra in good condition, sometimes, inmediatly after a rain the 'arroyos' that cross some roads may have some water. We just wait till we can cross by.-

The dates for the HU Meeting in Creel, were selected based on the weather statistics, and what seems to be the most favorable time of the year for this region.
By the second week of October, day temps should hover around 50-65F cooling down in the evenings to 35-40F, sometimes reaching freezing point just before dawn.
All main roads through the region, are in good condition, rain this year has been rather scarse. As it rlates to the dirt roads, only those that cross the main rivers (Urique, Cusarare, Fuerte, and Batopilas, could pose a challenge in case of continuous rains, in which case these could present flash flood conditions. This however is highly unlikely this time of year.
Down at the canyons temperatures are more stable and mostly subtropical year round.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
