The shrimp ( And Carne Asada and a couple of Doves) Bike trip.

[efuentes]

Another weekend, another bike trip.

Lately finding new tracks and testing equipment for Bikepacking has become fun, Today's trip took us over some Precolonial settlements and onto a very familiar wilderness close to home.

A camera malfunction (Ok, I messed up the settings) gave me some nifty antique looking photos, on tune to describe the 1,600s trails we took.

On route to Mochicahui, Sinaloa http://coppercanyongate.blogspot.com/2009/10/ceremonial-sierra-mochicahui-sinaloa.html.

An early flat on the road.

Getting close to Los Cerros de Barobampo.

Me, almost at the river crossing.

Once we got onto the wilderness, it was time to find my Dad's group who was Dove hunting on the same area.

After tracking down the tireprints we decided to wait for them and have a quick rest.

Eventually we got together, and the feast began :drool:.

First some early morning caught steamed shrimp. Yep, we do suck the heads off the shrimps, good stuff

And then some Carne Asada and even a couple of doves to finish off.

The bunch enjoying midday under a fresh mesquite shadow.

Over all a very nice quick trip, the new fat tires of my bike (700c X 40mm) worked really good and I am getting confident about my multiday Bikepacking trip coming up.

Saludos from not so hot and somewhat dangerous Mexico.

It looks like you ate like a king on that trip. A little pavlov's dog reaction, I started to salivate just reading your post!

Loved the bike and bar end shifters!

Real nice!

Flats are no fun, but good practice anyway.

The destination sure made up for the flat troubles.

Tasty looking shrimp!

Great to see you out and about Mundo. And that your blog continues as I haven't seen much activity there for a while so good to see this trip report! I too was salivating with your food photos.
