I rode more than 3000 miles in a little over a week! My butt is still the same small size, can't believe it! Back in the US since yesterday and back in California today. I got roasted today at 41 degrees C (106 F) in the Mojave desert. 
Bye Bye, Mexico! Besides all the glory I had a really super "shitty" day a few days ago:The low light: I got food poisoning, full 9 yards: High fever, throwing up, I couldn't digest even water, dehydrated, evil intestine cramps, no processing of food for a week. Plus I struggle with a at least bruised if not broken rib from a surfing accident in El Salvador,I can only sleep on one side.
The day after a rock got thrown up and hit my foot during the ride. Wait, there is more, same day!
Then I got in the heaviest monsum rainstorm and my rainsuit zipper broke.
What a shitty day!
Right now I'm "getting my kicks on Route 66". (Tribute at this point to Lux Interior who did a great cover of this song). I'm staying in the traditional Wigwam Motel (GPS location), one of the last remaining landmarks at the classic Route 66 in the San Bernardino area.Tepic: 7620 miles, riding time: 175 hours
US Border crossing: 8566 miles, riding time: 187 hours
San Bernardino, CA: 9090 miles, riding time: 195 hours

I see you were more careful with your choose for which cacti photo to post ;)..... Lovin' the updates and looking forward to seeing you soon.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great finish to a great trip. Great to have you at our camp at Laguna Seca. Have you watched the video yet? That finish was closer than it looked for a second there!
ReplyDeleteHopefully we'll catch up before you head back. For now, I, and my body, need much rest. Empty house after a week with so many guests. So exhausted, and we took it easy the last couple days.
