Tricycle
I made it! The bike ran beautifully! Only mishap was a broken speedometer cable!
Entered Mexico at Brownsville. Had all paperwork ready. Go early, no lines. Got lost in Matamoros, I didn't want a GPS. Maybe not a good idea. The Northern part of Mexico was no fun. Once I got down towards Veracruz things eased up. Fast travel can only be done on the CUOTAS or toll roads, otherwise it can be slow and somewhat rough going.
People were friendly and I wish I could have stayed. A good job opened up back home so I returned early and didn't make Guatemala as planned. I'm thinking of trying again this year.
I have tried to download my complete ride report but it never goes through. Its 11 pages long with pictures so maybe it's jus too long for the forum. Any ideas how to upload it would be great.
Let me know if anyone else is planning a trip like this I'd like to talk to you.
