Sunday 10th-14th July Cuidad Constitucion to La Paz Despite leaving the hotel before Ed, he still managed to overtake me a bit further up the road. I tend to stick to around 75kph these days, to help preserve my engine, plus I find it’s a more relaxing speed. However I…

Willy good fun in the water: San Ignacio to Playa Requeson
Friday 8th July Having had our fix of luxury for the time being, it was time to leave San Ignacio and continue our journey to the east coast. Despite enjoying the last few days together we still wanted to ride separately, something that was confirmed to me the day before when we were riding round…
A Desert Oasis: Guerrero Negro to San Ignacio
Wednesday 6th July to Thursday 7th July After a lazy start and a well deserved lie-in for Ed, we packed up the bikes and headed off in different directions, at least at first. Ed needed to top up his phone in town, and I was headed to the town of San Ignacio. I…
