TECATE ROAD CONDITION UPDATE

This is again from the Mystery Nomad who wishes to remain anonymous. Got it yesterday.
----------------------------

Good Morning,

At the south end of the stretch known as Vallecitos, the road surface is breaking up
in patches, getting worse every week. At slow speed no problem, at high speeds a
bit rough.

The north end of Vallecitos is the same, only worse. This section starts approximatly 35 miles north of El Sauzal.

The north end, and coming into Testarazo, is STILL torn up here and there, a few gravel patches, and the short bridge right before town has had the road surface removed completely, at the transition from road-to-bridge-to-road there is a sharp "step" which should to be taken at slow speeds, especially if your shocks aren't good. It can be bone jarring if you hit that too fast.

Similarly, at the north end of Testarazo, there is a bridge in the same state of conditions, and the above comments apply to the north end of town bridge as well.

Everything else is good.
