HU Barrancas del Cobre Rally
Only 12 weeks to go, time to start making some plans.
Last year a few paople went to the west coast after the rally, following Batopilas Canyon. Anyone know anything about that route? On the map, it looks like there would be a couple of river crossings. Bridges? I've been as far as Satevo, but no further.
I know there is a road that goes over the mountain range from Batopilas to Urique. Anyone got any info on that route? I was thinking it might be a good over night trip to go from Creel to Batopilas, stay overnight, then go to Urique and back to Creel.
Grant, any semi organized rides along these lines this year? I could either get to the rally a couple days early or stay a couple days late, depending on what other people are doing.
I will be on a KLR 650 and my riding partner will be on an XR 650, so we will be fairly dirt worthy, especially if we do a loop and leave our luggage in Creel.
Any input is welcome.
