Center Conway, NH, February 2009—The newest addition to the popular Whitehorse Press Motorcycle Journeys Series is Motorcycle Journeys through Texas and Northern Mexico. Authors Neal and Sandy Davis have combined Neal's extensive motorcycling experience and Sandy's dining and lodging suggestions with a running commentary on local history and culture to provide an invaluable guide to some of the best motorcycling in the great state of Texas and over the border into Mexico.
The trips included in this book will introduce you to the wide variety of landscapes, rich history, and diverse cultures of the region, and make you want to sample the great roads, gorgeous weather, and tempting cuisine for yourself. Full-color maps and stunning photographs will help guide you and give you a preview of what you might discover.
Informative route descriptions will lead you from the big cities to out-of-the-way back roads with enough hills and curves to put a grin on any motorcyclist's face. Each trip is packed with suggestions for where to stay and eat, side trips to special attractions, and dual-sport diversions, so that you can easily plan a trip that suits your time, budget, and interests. The excursions into Mexico are accompanied by extensive information on practical matters, such as what you need at the border crossings, tips on navigating the roads, and motorcycle repair. A brief background on Mexican history and customs, along with an appendix of useful Spanish phrases, will go a long way toward making your visit to our southern neighbor more enjoyable.
From the twisties of the Hill Country and the endless beaches of the Gulf coast to the rugged remoteness of Big Bend National Park and the indescribable beauty of Mexico's Copper Canyon, there is plenty to discover whether you are a Texan wanting to discover more of your vast backyard or someone from away hoping to sample the Wild West before it disappears. Plan your next adventure into this fascinating region with this book as your guide.
