Finally Headed to Mexico Tomorrow!!!

[saralou]

After 103 days on the road we have travelled from Vancouver to Inuvik and are now in Texas. Our route has taken us thru 2 provinces, 2 territories, and 19 states. We are waiting for tires to arrive tomorrow then we will cross at Del Rio!!! So excited to finally head South! We have not seen any overland bikers in many weeks so we hope to meet some in Mexico.

Hi Saralou,

I'll be heading south later this month. You're in for some fun! Although when I rode to Panama and back a couple years ago I didn't run into any other overlanders. I was riding back roads so that was part of it, but I was expecting to meet others on the road. Maybe this year will be different.

I will follow your ride report. Maybe see you down the road in Central or South America.

Safe travels!

Kindest regards,
John Downs

Thanks John

We will have to make a point to meet for a then! We will be on the back roads too so there is a chance. Sara

You are welcome to stay with us in Mex City. We will put you up, cook you breakfast and even show you around. All at no charge! (well you may have to wash the dishes)
I normally met people outside the city and guide them in.

[saralou]

That sounds amazing!! We are great dish washers and we bring !! I have not been in Mexico City since 1991 and I did not drive so the help into town would be fantastic . We will be anle to give you at least 4 or 5 days notice. Sara & Dan

That should be fine. PM me if possible as I sometimes miss post.

I was think of bypassing Mexico City on my way down to SA. Is your offer good for a Chinese biker too?

[garrydymond]

I don't see why we wouldn't let a Chinese Biker stay. Just send me a PM and we'll fix it up.

There are three of us getting tires put on now and trying to cross tecate in a day or two. We just are looking to get our insurance thing figured out today or tomorrow and start heading south. We will use the ferry in the bottom of the baja and cross over to Mazatlan. Maybe we can meet up down there somewhere

[saralou]

You can buy the insurance on line best price was mexpro.

We would love to meet up. We try to keep our current location on our website worldwideride.ca or you can contact us there. We are meeting some other bikers in Oaxaca this weekend. Sara
