Mexico ironbutt style/ take 2
New plan ,Ride in more areas on the V-Strom 1000 and at a later date spend more time in some of those areas on my KLR like I have done in the USA .
I can't see all of Mexico as I still work for a living but my goal is still to see the copper canyons, BUT I will skip the baja for more mainland .
What do you think of this route in either direction> Eagle pass or Laredo , Tx. to Saltillo (witch is a better ride rt.57 out of eagle pass or 85 thru Monterey ) onto Zacatecas and then Guadalajara via rt 54 onto Barra de Navidad then up rt. 200/ 15 to Mazatlan to durango,Parral, Batopilas , Creel,Chihuahua to Presidio, Tx.
I have the loop in Mexico to be around 2300 miles ???? But would appreciate time frames and miles between these cities and road condition and weather in these parts in mid to late March and April also. I'm thinking of going south first to let the cc warm up ???????????
Also How accurate is AAA's driving distances map ( the map in the corner that gives distance and driving times ) , I see for instance Mazatian to Durango is 318 km with a driving time of 5:35 and then I see Durango to Parral 412 km with a driving time of 5:45 , so it seems to make time for types of roads . BUT do you with south of the border experience find the AAA times and distances to be accurate ??????????????????
