Hey everyone, how about it? Anyone done a Three Flags or two?
I am going this year and just looking for some first hand stories about the trip.
The miles I am not worried about, the schedule should be no problem. Mexico, hmmm, been there many times but going through airports is nothing like crossing on a bike. I was told I can get vehicle insurance where I cross. I will need a tourist card. Can I get that at time of crossing too? I just read about something called a vehicle permit? What is that about?

I will take about a week to get to Tijuana and Penticton is only a days ride away from home. This will be a fairly quick trip. (just the kind I like) I am not much for flower sniffin' along the way and scenery looks just fine a 85mph!!

I am thinking about a route down there along the coast. Any tips or places I do not need to see? The only plan I have so far is to hit Hell's Canyon on the way down. The rest of the trip is wide open so far.

Thanks,


Brad

Yeah, I did it last year, but it's kinda cheap for me since I live 40 miles from the Mexican border. Anyway,I rode down to TJ the day before I left for Laconia and then we rode into Canada after Laconia. Like I said, I did it but I wouldn't brag about it.
