Well, we made to to Creel (entry point to the Copper Canyon). We rode in today about 1pm after a final crossing of the Continental Divide. (We crossed it yesterday too.)

It was a really tough ride yesterday, and I didn´t have it in me to make the final push to Creel, so we stayed in San Juanito, just 20 miles away. But we had climbed probably 3000 feet and over the Continental Divide at a really significant pass, so it was good to rest for the night.

This afternoon we did get out and do some really pleasant mountain biking in a region of the local people, the Tarahumara. We ended up on doubletrack and then singletrack and then in a pasture, then bushwhacking a bit, but we made it back to Creel. Loads of fun.

We´re working on a plan to explore this fabulous Copper Canyon country in the coming days.
