Hey there John and thanks for following along and for the question. So for Mexico and Central America we used the iOverlander app to get ideas as well as just talking with locals. Also, there are times we just get lucky and find a campground or we just wild camp. Hope this helps, but if you have any other questions please feel free to ask. Take care and happy cycling! ~Ron & Petra

What are you using for navigation, maps, cyclo comp, and route planning?
@PedalPowerTouring2 ай бұрын
Hello Abba and thank you for the question. As a back up device we always travel with a Garmin e-Trex series GPS loaded with the maps of our location. Now with the invention of Smart Phones, we have been using more mapping apps such as Maps.me, Komoot, offline Google Maps, MapOut (iPhone only), and while not related to maps, we do like iOverlander for scouting out locations to camp, get water, border crossing information, and other stuff related to traveling. We may have missed something but if you go back to some of our newest videos and look under the "Description" we have added some useful information. Also, we rely heavily on getting information from the locals. Take care and happy cycling! ~Ron & Petra

The worst bridge we've ever crossed was the Astoria bridge connecting Washington and Oregon! We've cycled in some crazy places over the years, but that 4 1/2 mile Astoria bridge was stressful! We learned later from some other cycle tourers that there is a small ferry just up the river that we could have taken. Cheers to you and happy cycling! ~Ron & Petra

hey Stephen! No idea why those signs were there because there is no other way and shortly afterwards there is a bike path, then the bike disappears again.

Sorry we can't remember the exact route because this is where things get wonky, but I will check with my GPS and see if I saved the route. If so I will let you know and can email you with it. After Tierra Blanca we cycle to Loma Bonita, Minatitlán, Villahermosa, Palenque, and then on to Guatemala. Here is a link to our blog which talks more about this route and our experiences. pedalpowertouring.com/world-cycle-tour-blog/mexico/cycling-from-puebla-to-terra-blanca/ Enjoy Mexico and don't rush through.

Actually, the Gates drive system is fantastic for rough expedition cycling. If his broke after only 200 miles of cycling, then it was either defective (not really likely IMO) or not set up correctly (more likely). My old belt had teeth (ridges?) that were almost coming loose, but it was still working before I finally noticed the teeth flapping and changed it. After this long I also changed out the chainring and rear sprocket as they were worn down to where they resembled knife blades. Still, you'll use four chains and at least one change of chainrings / rear cassette in 25k km. I know other world cyclists using Gates / Rohloff or Pinion and have never heard of a problem like your brother experienced.

Hey there Charles. Appreciate the feedback and for watching the video. Yeah not sure what to say other than you can see his belt broke and thankfully he had a spare. I don't know if he had it adjusted wrong or not. He rode it some back home on smooth surfaces and did not have any issues until he started picking up the little rocks and mud on the Dalton. I personally will never use one for global tour, but this is just me. We can find a chain in the remotest of places and it's never been an issue for us. Happy cycling and safe travels. ~Ron

I had an early Nallo 2. My wife asked if it was a good Idea buying a use tent, and I said it's only been used 31 times, which only drew a blank stare. I told her "It's a Hilleberg and they don't fall apart". The early model didn't have a rear vent window or a rear zipper in the fly. The only weakness I've found is the inner tent suspension elastics losing their elasticity. I wonder if they will address that some day? Thanks for the field use report. Very valuable information.
