Preparation

Well preparing for this trip has been going on for 2 years but with urgency over the last 3 months. We laid out out agenda and then worked to find accommodations to match our travel days. We have that completed except for a couple of places that will require a fluent Spanish speaker to complete. A Mexican friend of ours is coming over the night of the  October18th to finally put the final touches on the agenda below:

The red boxes are the ones to be completed. I thought that I would give you all this so if you re following along, you would kind of know where we are planning to be. As I said preparation is two-headed, the agenda as listed above, and the bikes. We have spend a couple of years getting the bikes ready and all the mods to date can be seen in out last two blogs listed to the left. However, there is always something else that can be done.
