(January 26– written by Dave) Today we were back in the saddle after three days off in Guanajuato.  Our bed in the B&B was so comfy, one of the best we’ve had in Mexico, it was hard to leave this morning.  One more day there and I think Nancy may have never left. Our B&B … Continue reading Back in the saddle –Guanajuato to San Miguel de Allende (82k/9522k)

(January 25 – written by Dave) It rained last night - the sound of rain falling was very strange to hear.  We can’t really remember much rain on this trip so far.  We could only recall riding in the rain a few days so I did a quick search of our past blogs.  Here’s the … Continue reading Guanajuato Day 3 – random thoughts

(January 24 – written by Dave) More photos that words again today... We visited the Diego Rivera Museum – which was really more just the house where he was born with a limited number of his works.  Diego and Frida (his third and fourth wife, of five) were famous Mexican artists in the early 1900s.  … Continue reading Guanajuato Photos – round two

(January 23 – written by Dave) Mostly photos today...  Just a couple thoughts. Get to Guanajuato while you are young(ish) – this place is all up and all down. Stairs are not even and you’ll be walking a lot.  Your knees, lower back and feet will thank you when you retire for an afternoon siesta. … Continue reading Guanajuato Photos

(January 22 – written by Dave) We had a pretty quiet night in the hotel last night – we both slept well – probably tired.  At around 6AM a large group of folks checked out.  We think it was the cycling group that we saw yesterday but we didn’t get up to have a look … Continue reading Traffic Day –Leon to Guanajuato (61k/9439k)

(January 21 – written by Dave) Today we had a long day in the saddle, riding from the state of Aguascalientes, across the state of Jalisco, and finally into the state of Guanajuato.  We had a couple route choices and decided to ride the toll-way because we thought it might have fewer hills.  I’m not … Continue reading Three state day – Aguascalientes to Leon (129k/9378k)

(January 20 – written by Nancy) We survived the highway hotel last night - I think the chair I pushed up against the door was probably not necessary after all...  Actually, we both slept surprisingly well despite the traffic noise from the highway and the cold.  Dave managed to get two additional blankets from the … Continue reading Transit day – San Pedro to Aguascalientes (74k/9249k)

 (January 19 – written by Dave) We’ve had a short but interesting and productive day.  We were planning on a small town and hotel a little further than we stopped at, but it was off the direct route to Aguascalientes, our destination for tomorrow night.  We found a highway hotel at the turn off and … Continue reading Maintenance day – Zacatecas to highway hotel (52k/9175k)

(January 18 – written by Dave) Today we’ll do a quick post to show off some highlights of Zacatecas.  We really liked it here – it is feels really old world with lots of narrow streets and steep stairs – mostly it is walkable if you are fit and don’t mind the odd flight of … Continue reading Zacatecas tourist day

(January 17 – written by Nancy) Big day today – one more year older and none the wiser... We decided to splash out this morning and have breakfast in the restaurant at the hotel.  When we got down there about 7:30 it was clear that they were short of staff as one fellow was running … Continue reading Birthday ride – Fresnillo to Zacatecas (61k/9124k)
