Depends what you like ...

I did not hit Zacatecas this last trip, was there years ago. Don't know Organos park, but looks good and it's on the way to Zaca if you go EAST to Durango from Mazatlan. Some good back roads in the area.

Or, you could go South along the coast and beaches, which I know better since I've done Surf trips down there since early 70's. Still tolerable temps at the beach I would think. But by May, could be too hot?
If so, go back UP to the Sierra :thumbup1:

I've ridden Mex 200 several times, stopping at beaches along the way, all the way to Guat. border. Did it on a Jawa 350 two stroke in 1973 the first time. Favorite place? Barra de Navidad ... now over run with development but good places near by.

But the Sierra is also fantastic, historic towns, fun roads, not many tourists. Prices should be "flexible".
I loved Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende ... all fun places to hang out.

Nah I didn't stop there, just straight from Durango to Zacatecas.

Now I'm in Oaxaca city, I went from querétaro->bernal->puebla and from there I decided to take the road less traveled. I took the 182 across the mountains to Tuxtepec and then the 175 down to Oaxaca. Was quite the adventure. I would recommend it, the scenery on the 182 was incred. I spent 10 hours at a roadblock though by protesting teachers. All in all it was a good experience, met and befriended a lot of the protestors, I shared what food I had and they fed me dinner. I was planning to sleep in the street there with them when a deal was finally reached and the roadblock broke at around 8PM so I road a few km up the street to a hotel.

The 175 was good as well but thick fog and rain made it a really slow pass with no cool views.

Looks like we are a couple of months behind you, I'll keep an eye on this thread for some good suggestions
Will cross from US to Baja tomorrow


Safe travels

Yeah man feel free to PM me questions Im not really posting much here. I also have a lot of friends here in Mexico I can ask about stuff I dont know about. I dont check here often though so I'll pm you my email.

Finally crossed over to the mainland yesterday. Man it's easy to get stuck in Baja. In Durango now. Man, especially the first 200km between Mazatlan and Durango is def one of the greatest roads I've ridden. Never fought I would grind foot pegs that much on this trip, on a klr.

A great road indeed. One of the most remote sections, a true road of 10,000 curves! :mchappy: I rode on Libre road most of the way ... then switched to Cuota road right before Durango to make up some time.

enjoy! bier

I think you made a wise decision going for the toll road on the last stretch. I opted for the cheapskate alternative and just after on the turn off I hit a pothole that sent me flying. Still cant believe I didn't wipe out seeing as I was completely airborne for a split second.

I've added this one to the list for when we hit the Mainland
