November 2nd 2023 - Thomasville, GA The stay at Two Wheels of Suches did us good. The place was a real gem. It started as a dedicated motorcycle campground back in the early 90’s (Two = Two wheels only). The place is now owned by Bill and still going strong.We arrived at the camp Thursday. The place was relatively quiet.We [...]

November 12th 2023 - Corinth, MS It was a weekday. To have breakfast with Josh and his family we had to get up early. They all frequent the same school - 2 as teachers, 2 as students. They invited us to pack up and leave in our own time. After they had left the house Katrine went back to bed [...]

November 18th 2023 - Clarksville, TX Homer prepared a farewell breakfast before we took off. It had been a pleasure to stay with him. Anyone traveling through on two wheels are welcome to reach out to Homer. The bunkhouse/shop setup combined with him being a part manager at Lake Hill can really come in handy. We got back on Natchez [...]

November 25th 2023 - San Antonio, TX The weather forecast threatened rain around noon. We decided to get an early start. It starts spitting just as we pull up in front of My Loves Diner in Kaufman. The rain was pouring down as we had lunch. We worked on the computers, shared a huge chunk of chocolate cake and enjoyed [...]

December 1st 2023 - Odessa, TX While Katrine got ready to explore downtown San Antonio I watched the last MotoGP race of the season. It was a title decider. I won’t spoil the result if some haven't had the chance to watch it yet. The 2023 season has been exciting and I expect 2024 to be even better. The countdown [...]

December 6th 2023 - Chihuahua, Mexico Brian sent us off with an egg and bacon tsunami - the dogs with slobbery kisses. At the border we would need printed copies of our MMFs. To get that we stopped by a UPS store before leaving Odessa. This part of Texas is flat. No need to put curves in the roads. In [...]

December 10th 2023 - Batopilas, Mexico Last day in town I went looking for a gym. My search took me to a less fashionable but no less interesting part of town. The gym I found was a bit rough around the edges. I fitted right in. On the walk back to the hotel I passed a boxing gym. The kids [...]

December 15th 2023 - Durango, Mexico Darkness settled over Batopilas on our last night in town when the locals started to gather in the central square. We noticed that several of the small shops closed early. It turned out that everyone was preparing for a parade to arrive. From what we understood it was something related to Christmas. It was [...]

December 21st 2023 - Mascota, Mexico 3 days in Durango did nothing to change our positive impression of Mexico. In the US we mostly avoided congested areas. No reason for that in Mexico. The country is generously sprinkled with charming old colonial towns and equally interesting bigger cities. The atmosphere is relaxed and people are obviously enjoying life and having [...]

January 3rd 2024 - Tlaquepaque, México December the 22nd we relocated from Mascota to Tlaquepaque in the Guadalajara metropolitan area. It was an easy day's ride on gradually bigger roads as we approached the city. We had booked 11 nights in a shared apartment a few minutes walk from Guadalajara Language Center where we had signed up for a Spanish [...]

January 12th 2024 - Bernal, Mexico On the day of departure we spent the morning with Rodolfo and Delfina. They had been great house mates during our time in Tlaquepaque. Fin dropped by before we left, to say goodbye and get a picture of us with our bikes for his ride report. Earlier on Fin had told us about Amigomoto [...]

January 20th 2024 - Mineral del Monte, Mexico A couple of rest days in Bernal had done Katrine good. It was time to move on. We had only just left the hotel when we suddenly found ourselves surrounded by 15-20 riders on big bikes passing through town. We stayed with them as they left town and picked up speed. After [...]

January 31st 2024 - Puebla, Mexico We left Mineral del Monte around 9 am a Saturday morning. Breakfast was nowhere to be found at this early hour. Mexicans are not morning people! We expected an interesting day on the bikes. Our destination was only 130 kilometers away, but to get there we had to traverse Mexico City - the biggest [...]

February 9th 2024 - Oaxaca, México Puebla turned out to be a real gem. We continually discovered new aspects of the city that made us like it better. The heart of the city is Zócalo de Puebla, the central square surrounded by the Cathedral, the Municipal Palace and other old colonial buildings. We’re used to imposing churches and cathedrals from [...]

February 15th 2024 - Mazunté, México Despite an early start it was scorching hot as we made our way out of Oaxaca. South of the city we made good progress on newly paved topaz free sections of Hwy 175. We were not the only ones enjoying the smooth surfaces. Most everyone was speeding well over the posted limit. After a [...]

February 24th 2024 - San Cristóbal de las Casas, México We had learned from our host at the hotel that whales migrate north, just off the coast from Mazunte, this time of year. Early morning should offer the best chance of spotting them from land. We decided to give it a go and left the hotel just before sunup. To [...]

March 3rd 2024 - San Pedro, Guatemala When traveling you meet more quirky people than usual - not least among fellow nomads. Let’s take our housemates in San Cristóbal de las Casas as an example. Jo had been staying in the house for 2 months when we arrived. He was American and used to be a woman. He was trying [...]

March 13rd 2024 - Concepción de Ataco, El Salvador We ended up staying for 9 days in San Pedro. The town consists of two parts:  “Gringolandia” by the lake where the majority of foreigners reside and the main part  up the hill where the locals live and work. Our hotel was perfectly located at the fringes of Gringolandia right by [...]

March 20th 2024 - San Miguel, El Salvador Make a note: “Ruta de Las Flores”. It’s a scenic route that runs between Ahuachapan and Nahuizalco in western El Salvador. A ribbon of smooth twisty tarmac winds its way through the mountains surrounded by coffee plantations and wildflowers. It’s the backbone of an area with much to offer. 3 days in [...]

March 31st 2024 - San José, Costa Rica Drastic times call for drastic measures. The alarm was set for the dead of night. The sky was still pitch black when we left San Miguel. We had a long and potentially challenging day ahead of us. The predawn temperatures were reasonable. The rising sun found us within striking distance of the [...]

April 20th 2024 - San Marcos, Costa Rica The parts to fix Katrine’s bike arrived today - 19 days after we first set foot in San Marcos. Being forced to stay put here for an extended period has been one of the absolute highlights of the trip so far. There are 2 things in particular that have made our stay [...]

May 5th 2024 - Panama City, Panama   Let me tell you a story about where dreams and dedication can get you. 20 years ago Antonio inherited a small finca (a piece of land) high up in the mountains of central Costa Rica from his aunt with the instructions to sell it and use the money to get an education. [...]

May 9th 2024 - Bogota, Colombia We didn’t do a lot of sightseeing while in Panama City. It was simply too hot for us to enjoy being outside. To describe how warm it was: We had the aircon in our bedroom set to 27℃/80℉ - colder than that and it felt like stepping into a fridge. It  was another scorcher [...]

May 17th 2024 - Guatapé, Colombia The day after we picked up the bikes, we relocated to another place in Bogota. We did it to save money and to get our own kitchen. I was a bit under the weather. It was nice not to have to leave the house to get something to eat.  The main reason for us [...]

May 28th 2024 - Valle de Cocora, Colombia We had a good view of “La Piedra del Peñol” towering over Guatapé from our front porch. In the morning of our last day in town we set out to climb the rock. The plan had been for Fin to ride out from Medellin and join us, but MechanicO decided to throw [...]
