That's Hotel San Ignacio in Xilitla. Good price, very clean & secure with 24 hr hot water and some great views. Maria will tell you where to eat and where not to.
 
Misìon de Jalpan. Nice. On the square. Safe. Haggle a little. JT. Eduardo (who publishes a mag and goes by motosierragorda) is a great resource even if he rides a KLR. [emoji6]He's on ADV some.

Color me jealous.

Yup. He has a place in the mountains outside of town. He's a professor or something and a bit of an entrepreneur.

Super ! Looking forward to it.... I was planning to take a small RV to a friends house in Roma, then meet wherever the cross will take place. If needed I can ditch the RV and stay in a motel, take a flatbed trailer and haul some bikes. Whatever it takes....:lol2:
 
This might be what I'm looking for.
I have never been to Mexico,but it is on the list
What type of bikes are you riding. Camping?
What would be needed
Thanks

Tip: A quick call to the two major hotels in Galeana to make sure there isn't a wedding or a quinceañera or some other thing going on that'll take up a bunch of rooms is always a good idea.

On the square in Galeana, the Magdalena has approximately 38 rooms and the Jardín Colonial has about 26.

The math is dependent upon the number of rooms you need for the event and whether or not there's a competing demand for rooms from locals. When there is a conflict, it's always on the weekend when there's an event like mentioned above, or a festival.
 
Thanks for the heads up. I plan to start calling next week.

GBC : we will be hoteling, the cost is minimal and the comfort factor huge.

no camping unless all bikes break down together up in the mountains offroad, most will be riding smaller 250 to 650 bikes

I live in the valley, I hear a lot and sometimes firsthand, the incident is a joke, it's basically what the border patrol rep said that usually happens, the local border Mexican folk on both sides of the border that cause something to happen and then cry about it, the Mexican consulate is the butt of this joke, "tensions" is just fake news, a distraction from the reality, those on the Mexican boat were probably a divergen so the drug and human smugglers can do their thing. No worries for our ride, all is good.

Yep it sounded like a blame game and banter between the consulates. Just unfortunate that folks got hurt. Esp the kiddos. Your probably right on the money about divergen.
Looking forward to it.
 
I'm in for this ride in Oct., so who/where do I send the money to? Looking forward to this. Thanks to all for keeping this thread alive.:sun:
 
So... y'all accepting new recruits for this memorial day trek? I'm located in Austin, riding a husky 610, this looks to be an epic ride and well thought out. It would be great to be great to ride along with some folks who know what they're doing. Let me know.
