  "account": "In Mexico, the phrase \"Throttle Therapy\" refers to motorcycle rides that may not cover long distances or reach new destinations, but provide therapeutic benefits. The hot weather, particularly during Mexican summers, discourages long rides, but short trips along scenic routes can be just as fulfilling. The author, Charlotte Smith, missed these therapeutic rides and decided to take her motorcycle, Dora, for a short ride along Highway 200 between Mismaloya and Boca de Tomatlán. The picturesque stretch of highway, lined with bougainvillea, palm trees, and colorful houses, is a perfect location to escape from daily stressors. The author stopped at a beach, savored fresh shrimp, and relaxed amidst the sights and sounds of the Pacific. The ride reaffirmed that sometimes, two hours of riding could be enough to boost mental well-being and appreciate the beauty of Mexico.",
  "summary": "You don't have to travel very far in Mexico to have a motorcycle road trip adventure, and the only impetus you need is the urge for some \"throttle therapy,\" writes Charlotte Smith.
