Bull Shit

Location:Zacatecas
Mileage:7,800



There is no rest for the wicked! We celebrate our Copper Canyon victory with a couple of bottles of tequila and the following day have 410 miles to ride to get to Zacatecas. It is only a few miles down the road when Danielle and a cow have a brief meeting. Enough for the cow to shit itself over the front of the bike and shunt a few bits out of place. Somehow Danielle keeps the bike upright, but in the process sprains her right wrist badly and cannot ride. So we now have one bike in the van.

Getting to Zacatecas is donkey work. There’s too much long straight road! Once we get to the city, it is party night and a huge fiesta is being held in the main plaza right outside our hotel. Some manage to get into the show, others watch from the hotel balconies. It gives a real insight into the Mexican fiesta!
