Ft. Lauderdale, FL - Playa del Carmen, MX > Sept/Oct 2019
Mexico Travel Update Sept/Oct 2019
Solo Rider > 2012 Triumph Tiger 800XC
Ft Lauderdale (FL, USA) - Laredo - Monterrey - Torreon - Durango - Mazatlan - Pt. Vallarta - Guadalaraja - Puebla - Paraiso - Merida - Cancun - Playa del Carmen.
No dramas or problems with security/safety and/or road conditions. Used Toll roads primarily (faster/safer/better maintained). Weather will be better late Oct onwards. Some stunning scenery especially Torreon - Mazatlan.
NOTES:
* Be prepared to move over to the far right shoulder of the road for vehicles passing others in the opposite direction (even with double yellow lines).
* Attention: Topes (speed bumps/knobs) abound in towns and cities (and open areas where an intersection or pedestrian crossing may be).
* Toll Pass Transponder can be purchased at Office Depot and topped up at several different stores (however mine only worked sporadically throughout the tour.... a lot of Toll Booths it didn't work).
* As usually, anywhere on a motorcycle... be prepared for surprises > large potholes, rockslides, animals on the road, etc......
Chilling in Playa del Carmen.
Looking forward to ride through the states of Chiapas & Oaxaca in Dec/Jan.
Mexico recommended!
Safe and happy travels.
