News from the Bike Hermit and Sky King in Mexico!

As you may already know, the Bike Hermit and Sky King have pedaled into retirement from bike shop life and are currently making their way south along the Baja Divide.  As of this writing, they’ve completed the first five segments of the route and are currently resting up in Vicente Guerrero in preparation for what lies ahead.  Here’s a link to the description of this first stretch of the route on the Baja Divide website.

They have been posting photos to Instagram (@stacy_king_powers and @bikehermit) and updating their Crazy Guy on a Bike journal (http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/Bajadivide).  It sounds like the going has been tougher than expected but that the pace of Mexican life seems to be agreeing with them!  Follow along, put your support and encouragement in the comments and enjoy their adventure vicariously.  Here are a few favorite photos from their journey so far:

We’ll continue to share occasional updates from Bike Touring News’ Owners Emeriti as they continue their adventure, so keep your eye on the blog.  Keep up the good work, have fun and stay safe out there, you two!  In the meantime, we have some updates from BTN Headquarters to share, so stay tuned…
