Hey all! I'm thinking of cycling from SF to the mountains of Potrero Chico, probably starting in early May. I have a touring bicycle and a trailer for the rope and such.

Anybody interested?

...interested in reading your blog!

That is one heck of a trip!

Would you dive right into Mexico or travel through the US as much as possible?

Sounds like a great trip! Might run into some serious heat down there. Where are you stopping along the way?

Once you cross the border the roads will start to seriously suck. Hope you already have some of the international experience. It can be somewhat intimidating. Stray dogs and poorly maintained roads with essentially no shoulder will be some of the challenges you will face. People are super friendly and generally helpful despite the language barrier. It will definitely be an adventure you will walk away from a changed man. Happy trails!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
