A couples journey on 2 wheels

Monthly Archives: April 2017

Pecos TX has very little to offer for the tourists. It is very much an oil and gas kind of town, and nothing else. So our stay there was short lived and we scrambled together what little food supplies the local supermarket had to offer and took off. On the […]

Day 11, Pecos TX – Guadalupe Mountain NP TX 170kms

April 10, 2017 in The trip by 2advriders

Today brought us the most dramatic change in scenery so far. We left the lush green pastures and the cattle behind and entered the dusty arrid oil fields of western Texas. The temperature too switched from a fresh pleasant spring temperature to a hot dry desert heat… All in the […]

Day 10, Menard TX – Pecos TX, 400kms

April 8, 2017 in Uncategorized by 2advriders

Well, Texas is big, no doubt about it! We kicked off around 10:30 after the usual breakfast and pack up ritual (that’s about 1 hour 20 minutes) and spent the whole day heading north westwards. The roads are awesome here, hardly any traffic, speed limits still at 75 mph well […]

Day 9, Somerville TX – Menard TX, 400kms

April 7, 2017 in Uncategorized by 2advriders

Today we left Louisiana and arrived in Texas. Not a very scenic day as such but cooler temperatures made for more pleasant riding conditions however, the wind made the ride somewhat challenging. For most of the afternoon we were being thrown around having to work hard to keep the bike […]

Day 8, Lafayette FL – Somerville TX, 470kms

April 6, 2017 in Uncategorized by 2advriders

New Orleans was awesome but it’s time to push on and head westwards. We left straight after breakfast, packed our mules and set off in the New Orleans traffic. A few diversions later and we were at our 1st and only stop of the day, the “Oak Alley” plantation. Oak […]

Day 7 New Orleans LA – Lafayette LA, 290 Kms

April 5, 2017 in Uncategorized by 2advriders

Day 5 and 6 were rest days… for the Beemers anyway! For us they were busy and anything but rest days. We explored New Orleans by foot walking up and down the many streets of the French Quarter and Margny, stopping to listen to the music pouring out of every […]

Day 5 / 6 New Orleans LA

April 3, 2017 in Uncategorized by 2advriders

Today we decided to cheat! After yesterday’s experience in traffic on the secondary roads we figured that if we were going to reach New Orleans by the end of the afternoon, the freeway was the only way. Generally speaking I prefer avoiding the freeways but, we have places to go! […]

Day 4, Milton FL – New Orleans LA, 367kms

April 2, 2017 in Uncategorized by 2advriders

After a rainy night we hit the road early and spent the whole day riding… the coastal road seemed like an nice scenic idea… until we got passed Panama City and all the resort towns when we realised it’s spring break here at the moment… We spent best part of […]
