Thanks for sharing
I love the small bikes, we are planning a self supported Copper Canyon romp in 90cc scooters for next year, its great inspiration.

In no time we made it to Cuiteco, our days destination.
We had managed to get a hold of some cabañas, they looked the same as I remembered from my Junior High years.
Resting with my happiness hiding deeply behind several meters of climbing.
Yep, thats the same safe railway were...
The climb out of Bahuichivo is relentless from the start and don't give opportunity to warm up, it does feel steeper than in a motorcycle or a Jeep
After climbing more than 550 meters and only having 125 to show for :( ,we started getting into rhythm.
Riding happily on the Copper...
Our first stop was Bahuichivo, at 1600 MSN it saved us some of the long hot summer climb to the mountains. It was our starting place to bike to Cuiteco, were we spent the night.
After getting off the train, we started to assemble the bikes as more than a couple of locals questioned our...
After a couple of months of planning, some very nice training rides and making some concessions at home, we were riding el ChePe on our way to Copper Canyon. Thinking about how little time we spend on what we really like. The Jr. probably dreaming about happier things :sombrero:
Even after...
On a post note:
There was no good eating today since one of the crew (not me, neither my son) needed to watch Mexico get totally crushed by Argentina on Soccer :(
Eventually we conquered the top
Riding with your son, priceless
The scorcher on the way back, where, for the third week on a row got lost and turned a nice 3 and a half hour ride into an almost 5 hour one.
The steed ready for Copper Canyon :victory:
Once on the climb, things weren't looking good, the cloud cover promised by the weatherman
was nowhere to be found, plus it was 90 degrees at 8 o'clock.
And then we climbed ....
And climbed ....
And reflected on current events while we rested.
After a fairly uneventful week, with politics at its peak for the coming elections, we had a fiery weekend. First, Mundo's suspension fork pop an o-ring and was rendered unusable on Saturday afternoon, then all hell breaks loose as the damn Narcos decide to do battle in the middle of town for...
Since we are no longer racy, powerbar munchers, a proper breakfast was in order.
Waiting for the feast.
We haven't discovered bad cholesterol in Mexico, so we happily had Borrego a la Maya with fresh tortillas. :drool:
Riding back to town.
Miles and miles of Badlands and esteros
Rollin'
The remains of our proposed route to Paredones
A couple of years back a storm took a lot of the infraestructure down.
The plan "B" bridge, time to reroute.
DT minus 2 weeks.
After the scorcher of last Sunday, we decided to tame things a bit and explore the shore and badlands of Bahia de Ohuira.
Rising early to escape the mighty sun.
Top of the line (and so effective) infrastructure.
Well on our way to Paredones fishing camp.
