Daniel Curtin is a staple in the Texas ‘cross, death ride, beer, and pastry scene. Following one-to-many sand bagger comments, he recently upgraded to a cat 2. Kudos are in order and we can all say we knew him when – Daniel is also the new editor of CXMagazine.com. Congrats Daniel!

FM 170 runs between Presidio, TX and Lajitas, TX often hugging the Rio Grande within feet; Mexico is always in the background the whole way. Camping at RV Parks at Presidio and Lajitas. A major portion of the road runs through Big Bend Ranch State Park which does have some primitive camping. This 50 mile section of road is wonderful and the pictures were taken right after …

Part 2…more pictures…
… This was only a 11 day vacation and driving down from Missouri we only had so much time to ride.
We did go to Big Bend…we were camping in our truck also.

Then back up up and up and more up to Panther Junction. That trip was only 40 miles roundtrip, our legs were tired from our Presidio/lajitas trip (100 miles roundtrip).
Years ago I did some bicycle touring but just got back into it a few …
