Expedition Recovery

10/25/16 San Luis Potasí, Mex to Aguascalientes , Mex 196.2 kilometers ridden. Sleep was fairly fleeting as the cats wreaked havoc on my bag of beef jerky while I tried not to take note. The larger disturbance was the light from down the hallway. I had turned off all of them near me and the only one left was down by Leon's room so I didn't want to leave him blind if he needed to get up in the night. It just meant that I spent most of the night tossing and turning from one thing or another. I still couldn't be more grateful for the place to stay and all of the hospitality I had been shown. Leon and I walked to Pina's place but he was out for breakfast around the corner so we went and joined him for scrambled eggs with bacon in them, beans with cheese, and some sort of cheesy tortilla casserole like dish. It was all very tasty and well worth the stop. Pina had to leave for work but gave Leon the key to his place where my bike was stored. He also ...

10/24/16 Las Los Lunas hotel to San Luis Potasí, SL Mex 338.7 kilometers ridden. I had full blown dreams last night. Not the short spurting ones about things from my past I have been experiencing, but full on long dreams with recent relevant content. Lisa Deadwards was in it and have only known her for a few months and only a few days in person. I got up at close to 9 am and worked out for a bit just to start getting back in the swing of it. Really minor workout but it made me realize how much my back was one big knot I needed to workout and stretch. I went to shower and found that while the light and wall sockets in my room were working, the water was not. I went down to ask but was told it wouldn't be on anytime soon. I returned to my room to finish a last few tasks before packing and loading the bike. It appeared to have been untouched there in the lobby and so I loaded it up and prepared to leave. As I reached into my pocket for my keys I came up w...

10/23/16 Nuevo Laredo, Mex to Las Los Lunas hotel and bar near La Leona, Mex 460.5 kilometers ridden. Was a slow start to the day for me but not terrible. The same couple that had been going at it so loudly last night decided to start their morning the same way. Breakfast was much better than most continental affairs and I ate scrambled eggs and fresh fruit with a glass of orange juice that I ate in the room.  I got a shower and realized just how bad my hair has become without conditioner, I think I would have pulled half my hair out if I had been in a hurry. Before leaving  I got to Skype with Cat for a bit this morning while I packed and we talked about her game against Rage City Orange Crush the night before. With my bags packed I got the bike loaded and answered some questions from a local who wanted to know about the bike and then about my trip. I gave him some details as I set my GPS for Monterrey and rode out. I spent most of the morning lo...
