My very first bike was a Honda XR-80 way back in 1979 and I’ve never [not] had at least one dirt bike since then. From trail riding to motocross to hare scrambles and enduro racing, I’ve done it all. I have been fortunate enough to live all over the United States and México and experience all of it from the seat of my dirt bike. From the unforgettable Northeast’s deciduous forests where exposed wet tree roots were to be respected or a soil sample was expected. Riding the mountainous slag heaps of the forgotten coal belt in Eastern PA where the wettest days were the best days as dust was kept to a minimum. The infinite riding of the Pine Barren sands with endless whoop-de-do’s of South Jersey. A place so vast that even the best navigator was easily lost. Then the extreme change of living and riding in the Southwest’s barren desert of Las Vegas where not being acutely aware of the gas and miles to empty could be catastrophic. While easily riding the granite cobbled single track of Southern California where it felt like a Martian landscape devoid of any other life. This is where I grew up and learned about the freedom ‘two wheels and an engine’ can give. Lots and lots of endless varying terrain in differing temperatures. My friends and I rode in all the seasons no matter how cold or hot. Then I moved to México https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/c5c736bd-7a97-4014-8077-c9fc20b4b456/El+Potrero+Chico.jpg Who - When people ask “Can you ride?” Whenever I’m traveling North of the Frontera I’m always asked about México. Why I chose to live here. Why I moved from my ranch Northwest of Monterrey to Aculco and always about the safety around my slice of paradise. Well I guess I can answer these questions and add a whole lot more. México is an absolutely beautiful country which like the US has such drastic changes in the ecosystem as you move from the North to the South and East to West respectively. When I lived and worked in Hidalgo, Nuevo Leon (which is about three hours South of Laredo) I knew very little about México as a whole. Just the area I lived which was a great place for my business but honestly wasn’t that pretty outside of where I lived. If you want just hit this link and you will see where my property was located. El Potrero Chico was the focal point for my business and I really built quite the property over the fifteen years I owned the ranch. Lots of fruit trees, hardwoods, flowers and a thick carpet of grass that covered the seven acres. A Garden of Eden of sorts in a sea of very angry cactus. But outside my front gates which is the mountain gap in the photo above; not so nice, and after twenty years of developing the area and watching everything get worse… It was time to move. When we meet I can relate all the reasons but be sure, I am where I belong now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/380cd843-cb4d-4656-903d-fe680cbddf42/Mountain+View.JPG Who - “Can you ride?” The move to Central Mexico enrichened my soul in so many ways. First is the change in the ecosystem from the North which was 100% cactus, lots of rocks and either very hot or very cold depending on the season. It was ugly desert. Central México by contrast is so utterly different one would think they are on a totally different planet, no lie. The riding we absorb ourselves in is less than 5% cactus (usually planted specifically to ferment Pulque), rocks only when we go specifically looking for them and the daytime temperatures are in the high 70’s to low 80’s every single day(365 days a year). We live in the San Diego of México where it is always Springtime. Also contrasting is the mix of cultures that the North was wholly lacking. Here is a mix of Mexicans that can trace their lineage directly to the colonization of México by the Spanish and the Native Otomi that have been here for thousands of years. Both cultures make for really delicious restaurants and extremely considerate farmers. We eat delicious food and we ride a lot of wide open territory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/8ae3e5ab-e804-4101-9373-8352865433e7/Mountain+Scene.jpg Who - “Can you ride?” Lastly and most importantly is the question of security, and feeling secure when in visiting Aculco and the surrounding mountains? I understand the media and how México is portrayed. Gang violence whether in México or the US is always a concern for people who might be involved. I agree wholeheartedly, and I do not ever want to be a victim of any violence. I’ve been driving back and forth from the Northeast to México for eighteen years. No lie… that is a lot of miles and time in the seat of my Sportsmobile. My area? Violence? Never going to happen. We are a farming community way far away from anyone looking to commit any criminal activity. As far as I know(and I ask) there has never been any organized violence anywhere near my town. Why would anyone cause problems for farmers or a tourist town that focuses on a historic church and dairy products? My take is that gang violence is focused between gangs and territory. The border towns are surely unsafe and there is no way I’m going to be hanging out in a bar, intoxicated, at 3am in a any big city. These rules apply to the US as well. If you go looking for problems, chances are you’ll find them. It only takes a few seconds in Aculco to realize the nature of this area. If anyone comes here to go drinking, well…. you best bring a funnel and pour it in mass quantities as the bar(s) close at 9:30….. The cheese stores at 9:45. This town is really special and a great place to come and twist the throttle. Whenever I tell people about my slice of paradise I ask “Can you Ride?” because their answer can certainly change everything. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/4bf31b78-ba42-4298-8fc4-28b1f285483d/Riding2.jpg Who Skip Pack, PA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/fe1e473f-4069-473a-b184-e576d125cb40/Riding3.jpg Who Searching for gas in Coal Country https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/9da071d1-b46c-4ae4-9161-2141306b5b84/Riding4.jpg Who A lifetime ago.

Where our touring business is located there are thousands of acres of land free of any restrictions with trails that vary in difficulty from moderate cruiser to full on in your face enduro. Quite logically the closer we ride to the mountains, or valleys, the more difficult the terrain becomes. Our company is set up for folks that love to ride. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/099bda8c-12a6-48a1-a462-f2594379bc1d/Mountains+of+Central+Mexico.jpg Why Us We are a bit different than other touring companies. What we really cater to is folks that love to ride. What we are is a few really good riders that enjoy taking out groups to experience an area and the culture that envelopes these mountains. We do long days on terrain that is constantly changing from our home base at 8,700’ in elevation to the mountain ridges that are around 11,000 feet in elevation. We ride dirt double track through the valleys passing lots of open farmland to an ever increasing difficulty as we approach the single track trails in the mountains. The riding is absolutely astounding as there is literally no end to the trails. What we are not is a group that caters to Hard Enduro. We cover lots of difficult terrain that is passable by walking the bike or the guide will jump on and negotiate the section if it is too difficult for the rider. Where we don’t go is the areas where any slight mistake could disable the rider or the bike. This is not what we are about. All of us have ridden hard enduro at one point or another. Our mission statement is about having an amazing experience, not suffering. https://www.aventurasmexico.net/where-are-we daily 0.75 2024-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/1c625074-fa90-410c-bce2-3819753663d1/Queretaro+Airport.png Where are We? - Make it stand out The constant beautiful weather here in Aculco is due to being located in the Tropic of Cancer and at 9,000 feet in elevation. We are in the land of forever springtime temperatures! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/cb740e6b-8a20-4412-bcc6-f5a9876dc138/Farm+Fields.jpg Where are We? The breadbasket of México. A rule when we were kids is that you can ride on the edges of fields, but never through them. This rule still applies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/9549088d-b21b-4121-99ef-3faab45d571c/Hand+Cut+Fields.jpg Where are We? As we tour from mountain to mountain we pass through very fertile farm land. Almost all the animals we encounter are free range. https://www.aventurasmexico.net/pricing daily 0.75 2024-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/4e09e46d-a9f7-4437-a403-1ed687e3ef07/Fields+and+Mountains.jpg Pricing - Our Pricing~ Pricing The riding should be hard - not understanding your vacation's pricing. The cost of the entire trip has many variables like airfare and the cost of meals, but getting an idea of the greater cost is easy. There are options available for the visiting rider but our costs boil down to days in the saddle. Options on what to do with your rest days are also numerous and span from visiting the pyramids with your own personal anthropologist (for real) to drinking cold cervezas in town or taking a day and going rock climbing with our sister adventure company SouthernXposure Guide Service. https://www.aventurasmexico.net/riders daily 0.75 2023-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/28575974-6592-4ca1-8b37-5d1dcef76a40/Single+track+w+Cactus.jpg Riders - Prices Per Bike The pricing model is pretty straight forward. The more riders, the cheaper per day for each rider. The second point of importance is just like with your friends; you break it, you bought it….. Now this is within reason. We don’t change our plastics every season so everything is looking shiny and new. Bikes get dropped/laid over all the time. We don’t sweat the scratches as we are riders not a fashion shoot. Cracks, breaks, tears and the such are in the “need to be changed out” category. Dropping the bike on a mountain hill and scuffing the plastic? Let’s not get nutty. Three things for sure; everyone signs waivers, at least one credit card is on file to order broken parts and everyone is going to have a great time. It’s our business to keep everyone smiling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/31930134-140a-4d68-bb5b-3d6bdd5aa5f9/Sunsets+in+Paradise.jpg Riders - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/ce1cb56b-4436-421b-8d82-ec47ba915b78/The+Bikes.jpg Riders - The Motorcycles We have three 2016 300 XC-W’s Six Days. Two with Rekluse Clutches and one without. A 2013 350 SX-F with a weighted flywheel and a Baja designs light kit. A 2008 250 XC-W and a 2005 400 EXC. All the bikes are meticulously maintained and ready to ride. Minus one bike from that list as a guide will ride whichever bike isn’t called for. No matter to us as they are all tight and ready to ride. Five rider’s maximum for now. Six next season. https://www.aventurasmexico.net/contact daily 0.75 2023-09-24 https://www.aventurasmexico.net/southernxposure daily 0.75 2024-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/3242a94c-817d-4eb9-88a4-65530f96859a/Rock+Climbing.jpg SouthernXposure - Interested in a Rest Day Rock Climbing Excursion?

How do you feel about crack climbing at the 'Indian Creek' of Mexico? Las Cascadas de la Concepción is minutes away from our home base and is by far the best crack climbing on the Northern Continent. No lie. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a414ec38a62332128a875/ad1d5ec4-1ff2-4457-bffc-59ce3e85c5a6/Cara+Norte.JPG SouthernXposure - How do you feel about climbing the Worlds tallest Monolith? Peña de Bernal has plenty of routes to keep a few dirt bike riders occupied for an active rest day!
