Chihuahua Mexico to Mexico City - Spring Break
 

Hi all, I'm planning on buying a motorcycle, taking a course on how to ride one, then driving to Mexico City, and possibly to Cancun, leaving this weekend for Spring Break. Any comments would be appreciated.

It's A Long Way
 

I have ridden to Chihuahua and back twice for the HU meeting in Creel. If you take the "libres" it will take you at least 2 full days. I rode from Chihuahua to Zacatecas which is around 900kms and then from there to Mexico City which is another 600kms. If you haven't ridden before I would recomend taking longer and seeing some sights. Don't ride at night and stop often to rehydrate and stretch your legs, eat, go to the bathroom etc. What type of a bike will you be riding? Do you only have a week? Why not ride around Chihuahua first, which has some beautiful roads and scenery, and leave the longer trip for later?
I normally offer to put up travellers in mex City but we will be on vacation.
Good luck and welcome to a new world on 2 wheels- there is nothing like it.

Hi,

Do not drive through Mexico, and surely not through the cities, if you are just a beginning biker. My advise, after 20.000 miles Mexico on a bike.

good luck
