Mexico, Paved. A Week of Riding Bliss
For almost six months, JT and I talked about it.
Six months of talking, six months of planning, gathering necessary paperwork (passport, insurance, vehicle papers, etc), six months of squirreling away extra pesos, six months of building excitement and anticipation.
And then, BOOM, the big trip is suddenly upon us and I am not ready! I should have ordered new brake pads, the ones on there are fine, but I should carry spares. The chain looks fine but maybe I should have replaced it.
It’s going to be hot. It’s going to be cold.
We are going to ride, yes, but we also plan other activities, some short hikes, some cave exploring, some rafting, some waterfall gazing. And there might be an evening or two that I’d rather not wear dirty riding pants, boots and have “hair by Helmut”. What to pack? How to pack it?
There’s dealing with co-workers who think me insane. There’s the anxiety of causing my mother anxiety….
I am sleepless a week before departure.
Stay tuned!
