BC Canada to MX Two Weeks One Way
Hi folks.
Us working stiffs can't just point out "beaks" south and head off into the sunset for as long as we want/need so we've devised a plan on how to get a taste of retirement riding before hand.
We have two weeks for a one way ride from Northern BC to somewhere in Mexico so that we can store the bikes, fly home, then fly back and continue south. Buddy has a friend with a Hostel in Gutamala so the plan is to ride there on the second leg of the trip, store the bikes again and then use it as a hub for future year(s) riding.
We did the Baja and some of the northern Mainland of MX last year on a 42 day ride for my 50th so we have a bit of MX experience.
We figure on this trip we can get to Aculpulco in the two weeks.
So my question is, what would be the best route to ge to Aculpulco given that we prefer to ride near the ocean for what it offers.
I'm thinking of a couple of route options looking at the maps.
1) One is to cross over at say Nogales and head straight south to the coast at Guaymas and then just following the coast line on the non toll main roads all the way to Aculpulco, making a slight detour to ride the Devil's Spine again ![Smile](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/smile.gif)
2) or to cross over at say Douglas, ride east on the 2 then south on the 10 to Chihuahua then south on the 24 (twisites!) to Durango, and riding the Devil's Spine southwest to Mazatlan and then taking the non toll main roads to Aculpulco
What do you guys suggest....?
