Mexico has SO MUCH to offer for adventure riders and overlanders. We thank you for coming along with us on this exciting adventure.
The rugged topography makes for fun and exciting riding and driving. By maintaining a mean elevation of 1500 meters or about 4,500 feet, the temperatures are mostly mild, ranging between 9 and 30 degrees Celsius or 48 an 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
The route goes through 23 of Mexico’s 32 states and a wide variety of ecosystems ranging from tropical and alpine forests to scrublands and deserts
Now, in 2024, we will be riding the full 18,400 kilometer (11,220 mile) length of the Ride Mexico track over 6 months to confirm the validity of the route and reroute and recreate as realities on the ground necessitate. Waypoints will be established for fuel stations, camping sites, hotels and inns, and all points of interest. A fully outfitted 2009 FJ Cruiser is our overlanding and support vehicle and we will be riding a KTM 500 EXC-F, a KTM 1290 Super Adventure and a Suzuki DR 650.
Ride our adventure routes and they will change the way you see Mexico and North America.

Learn moreRiding the DR650 down through Mexico, Richard was inspired once again by Mexico’s rugged topography, endless dirt roads, beautiful volcanoes, deep canyons, romantic colonial cities and impressive archeological sites. The dream of creating a trans-Mexico adventure route linking many of these impressive sites was born.
We have been working tirelessly to make this route a reality. It all began by identifying the most impressive locations for adventure riding the length and width of Mexico. The second step was to see how many of these locations could be linked on maps by the kind of mountainous winding dirt roads that are an adventure rider’s dream tracks. The third step is to ride the route from start to finish to check the validity of our research and planning, making adjustments as we go along.
