geep Posted August 24, 2010 #1 Posted August 24, 2010 any suggestions on places to winter in the south from the Mississippi west? Wife doesn`t like humidity so Texas is questionable...looking for something like a park model trailer to rent for a couple of months in a safe location, smaller cities are better than large, good riding roads a must:301:
utadventure Posted August 24, 2010 #2 Posted August 24, 2010 Many here like to winter in St. George area. I have an Aunt & Uncle that do it every year. Dave
Eugene Posted August 24, 2010 #3 Posted August 24, 2010 I hate humidity as well - however, I have been wintering in Texas for about 5 years. I stay in Mission which is pretty close to the Mexican border. Yes, it does get a bit humid but not unbearable in the winter. Roads are pretty good for riding - a bit flat down south where I am but South Padre Island, Corpus Christi and San Antonio are really nice day trips (San Antonio is 4 hours - the other two are 1.5 & 2.5 hrs resp. each way). Lots of nice quiet ranch roads in the immediate area. Cheers Eugene
Shamue Posted August 24, 2010 #4 Posted August 24, 2010 T or C (Truth or Consequences) New Mexico. or Las Cruces New Mexico. Both places offer mild weather through the winter and recreation opportunities close by. You can get to southern Arizona and Texas very easy and quickly. Great for day rides in both areas or can leave for days and have clear mild weather. Just a thought, google these areas they are definately worth checking into.

My son was in Las Cruces last fall and loved it. You'll just have to decide...Red or Green? Dave

ajlyoung1221 Posted August 24, 2010 #7 Posted August 24, 2010 South Texas is great for wintering. I am not old enough to retire, or not even close, but I have lived here for the last 8 years. I would say Harlingen/Brownsville area would be the best. The humidity in the winters are not too bad, but you are close to a beach, and the Mcallen Metroplex. There are a TON of places to stay, and the best part is the COST OF LIVING is extremely low. Anyway, if you do make it down this way, I can give you some good places to eat or stay. I have been around the entire Rio Grande Valley. Best of all, you can ride almost every day of the winter.
