I decided some time back that I would ride my bike to Guadalajara this winter and then fly home. The time and the cost of riding to GDL were the two main factors for this decision. I love spending time in Mexico, but at a cost of about $230 in gas each way, food and other expenses it becomes quit expensive. Now add on to that the 6 days it takes to ride, I opted to leave the bike with a buddy a fly back sooner than later.
Now with there being so many great rides so close to GDL I will have the time to enjoy them. A two week getaway can now be two weeks of riding around Mexico instead if 12 days traveling to and fro the city that I love.
With money and time permitting I will be heading south from GDL this summer to Panama, visiting Guatemala, Belize, Costa Rica and Nicaragua along the way. But first things being first, upon returning to the United States I begin shopping for a new bike to ride while state side.
