Copper Canyon, Mexico RR

MTBBill said:

About three weeks I got back from an incredible nine-day trip to Copper
Canyon in Mexico. The riding was some of the best I have ever enjoyed,
and this place has to be one of the most beautiful places on our
planet. The canyon system is at least seven times the size and 1,462
feet deeper than Arizona's Grand Canyon.

Saying my ride report is a little long would be quite an
understatement. I have organized things into a main Copper Canyon Trip
page that will take you to the other seven pages of notes and pictures
from this incredible life enriching experience.

Excellent report, Bill! It brings back vivid memories of my trip there
in February. You almost did the same itinerary and I noticed that
Enrique was one of your guides too.

Great pics and thanks for sharing. I can't wait for your video.

Can't out speak JD on that one!

The dollar value to life experience ratio is one of the highest
available.

And just think, that was my 3rd trip there in 4 years!

Going back? Damm right I am, just don''t know when. But for sure

That is next on the to-do list. I have not even put the tapes back in
the machine to review them yet. However the video turns out, it will
not do the place true justice.

Incredibly true. One of my life awakening experiences. The geography,
geology, and most of all the people are something that has to be
experienced. As I said before, it totally blows away all perceptions of
what people think of Mexico.

I might just have to join you on the next trip down after I recover from
the expense of my oldest one's 13th year journey into manhood.

OK. I'm going. Not sure how or when but it's going to happen. The wife
will be all over it to. She always wants to go somewhere that's warm and
where Spanish is spoken, and she even knows a little Cora too.

Bill, great travelogue/photos.

Matt, maybe a 903 mini-reunion is in order since I
need to get there sometime and Rich (on your left

wants to hit that area as well.

Do I get to be the guide?

I bet Anthony would go. I'd like to hit up that one place he's been a
couple of times in the SMOs.

Only if you bring lights for everyone!

Yeah, Anthony has a bunch of Mexico mojo going too.

Great shots Bill

Got a sneak preview from Chip yesterday, and have already spread them around
the office. Chip, are the tour groupings separated by relative skill or
fitness level? Within our small group of biking friends, there is a wide
spectrum of both riding experience and fitness (well, age has a lot to do
with it too...).

I can see that if a group of avid riders got mixed with some of our less fit
(but enthusiastic) folks, a days ride could differ by 10 miles. How do the
tour folks split things up?

Cheers

Was talking this over with a couple of people who are newer riders. They
would love to go at some point, and were

Very interesting idea! Hopefully we can hit it right and get some mud.
Keep me in the loop!
