Viva la Mexico!

I can't say enough good things about this road. Imagine the very best parts of the Pig Trail over and over. With almost zero traffic.


Somewhere around here I hit a rock, big rock. Nothing happens till we're leaving Cuidad, then the TPMS/RDS lights up yellow, then immediately red. We google tires and find a shop. 300 pesos and about thirty minutes later, we're on the road again. This includes removing wheel from bike, tire from rim, interior repair with a patch, and reinstall. All done on a piece of cardboard in the dirt.

Toll road in the distance. We didn't ride this but it supposedly has the second highest suspension bridge in the world and a passel of tunnels. And the reason the libre (free road) has so little traffic.


Somewhere along the way we pulled into a roadside eatery.


In the middle of nowhere we point and gesture and order lunch. The older lady grabs a ball of masa, presses it into a tortilla right in front of us and cooks it on this.

and I end up with this

It's amazing! Best gordito I've ever had. Only gordito I've ever had, but still. It was excellent and couldn't have been fresher. I don't recall the price, but it was stupid cheap.

Finally we roll into Mazatlán. We've got a couple of days here to wait on the ferry to Baja.
