Day by Day Itinerary

May 9, 2022

Blog

The day by day could and will change especially if we ride further then expected on some days , or we might find a better place to stay for the night. Hotels after the Baja will be booked as we get closer as we will be mostly using hotels for that part as there are not too many campgrounds. Our most difficult will be day 126 to m.

Notes:

  • make sure campgrounds don’t charge per tent just by site 
  • Keep gas tank full in case we need to run at night for charging. 
  • Call ahead when possible to check for vacancy or drive ahead to check possible choices.  

The coke stop spread sheet if correct we will finish 8 days early or we have a built in for weather etc.

    Where would you be when arriving in Antigua Guatemala? Are you passing by the Central Park?

    Congrats, great man.
    I’m a 82 years old cyclist, racer from 1950’s and I’m very impressed with your courage and performance.
    Back in 1975, me, my wife and my 2 youngers girls did a similar travel with a Pontiac Station Wagon pulling a trailer from Los Angeles to our home place in South Brazil. We spend 81 days, but I never imagined a 80’s yong cyclist coud do such a kind of adventure.
    You are the man I dreamed to be but never could.
