In which we need some water, we cross some mountains, and enter a very different place called Bulgaria.
-
In which we write a Dear John letter to Chile, our old flame, we meets wonderful Moroccan family and we eat great food.
-
In which we stay by the ocean and meet Victor, a spry 76-year-old, who catches us fresh for dinner.
-
In which we run out of food and water, get rained on, and are saved by Elote; and then find a town where Diana is treated as the super star that she is.

Ciudad Victoria – Gomez Farías, Tamaulipas, Mexico Number one biking day of the trip so far. Hadn’t been keeping track exactly, but probably some ride in Arkansas had been holding the yellow jersey up until today. But, really, it’s not even close. Today had everything. Amazing mountain scenery – and the clouds even opened up…

Hidalgo – Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico It turns out that if you have a choice, it is much better to have a road paved with citrus fruit than with garbage, rocks and mud. Better start with last night’s dinner – because it had some effect on our day today. We thought it would be a…

Linares, Nuevos Leon – Hidalgo, Tamaulipas, Mexico First off, we are doing just fine, thank you very much. Yes, the evening arrival at the hotel a few nights ago was not ideal. But that had very little to do with Mexico. That was more about general poor planning on our part. We just didn’t think…

Will maybe tell the full story tomorrow – but we miscalculated our time yesterday- so wasn’t able to write a post. But, rest assured, we are doing fine. Just finished huevo rancheros at another great roadside stand. All you could want for breakfast, including a cool breeze and a mountain view.

Sabinas Hidalgo – Monterrey, Nuevo Laredo, Mexico Well, now we have left the U.S. and the border behind for real . . . We ended up packing several days worth of life into our one ride today. We started out from Sabinas, agreeing that we didn’t need to worry too much about food because there…

Sabinas Hidalgo, Nuevo León, Mexico Well, we went to bed last night thinking that we were just going to risk it on this whole visa thing. If the Mexican authorities wanted to demand papers that they didn’t give us, we would just plead ignorance or pay them as necessary, and hope for the best .…

Laredo, TX, USA – Sabinas Hidalgo, Nuevo León, MX Wow. That was a full day. Some nerves. Some drama and some emotions. Lots of biking. Lots of reality. Lots of food. Some drama. Some new friends. And an all around amazing day. I didn’t feel great yesterday and I woke up this morning feeling a…
