That is Monterrey - General Teran - Monterrey, in Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
First a short intro: (then the pics!)
Me, big time lurker at this forum, recently bitten again by the tourer bug was doing a search on the forum and found that this one was the only report from a ride or tour in Mexican soil. Coincidentally from MTY too.
So I decided to post this one...a 3 Day Mini Tour I did the last weekend of the Holy Week early this year...a tour from MTY to General Teran, a little town with lots of agriculture and farms lands about 130 Km from MTY Downtown.
After a lot of help from rodar y rodar, I was prepared to do my first tour on a bike.
The plan was going directly to Teran the first day, touring around town the second and coming back on the third. It wasn't exactly like that, but very close
well, here we go:
woke up very early in the morning:
I didn't want to be on the highway with too much traffic
passing the nearest dam to MTY
Pause: The first one shows one side of the mountains where stinkydub was riding in 2007. Since reading MB1 Rowing - Riding Reports I have been thinking about getting a kayak to go there with the wife.
ok, passing the dam I started to see the actual greenery
a bat cave
I wasn't on time to see them going out, so I took a break
more green:
this one, one of my favorites:
then some goods you can get on the side of the road
a break:
Nopales:
Wheat:
The "steed":
The Real Steed: :lol:
The old tractor:
and finally....Teran Plaza!
Last crappy Plaza pic due to some distraction:
I took two of the last one...good Tamarindo!...yeap three... I guess you guys understand :lol:
I tried to spend the night at a park where according to the internet you were allowed to camp, but once there, Guardia Civil reccomend me to stay at their house, so that I did.
Last one, with a Sabino, National Tree, One Thousand years old:
* I owe you guys second and third day...tomorrow for sure....the wife needs some attention
