Baja Pics
Well I fianlly got around to posting some of the pictures from our January-February moto trip from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas and back. No quads, but we did some dirt.
Starting out in a pissing rain in San Diego. WTF, I though SD was 80 degrees and sunny all year round.
The best part of the trip was food. Food and finding food was the mission of each day. Finding cervesa was key to the mission.
Obligatory shot of Bird Poop Rock south of San Felipe.
Road ends without warning. The start of 40 miles of dirt.
Where the fugawee?
In the dirt in a cactus forest.
Obligatory shot of Coco at Coco's Corner.
Dude, I can't hear a word you're saying.
Expressing my feelings for pavement after 70 miles of sandy, washboard, dusty dirt roads. My bike was a pig in the sand.
We stayed at this abondonded house right on the beach. Spent the night listening to a great band and chatting it up with Jesse "The Body" Ventura. No shit. One of the most random days ever!
Driving into the hotel lobby for the night.
Riding on the beach.
"These are burro burritos?" "You're messing with me?" He wasn't and there were pretty good.
Riding some dirt.
This is what happens when a gringo tries to tow his boat over Mexican washboard.
Just riding along...
"Mas cervasas, por favor". All the Spanish I need to know.
More beach.
Run for the border...
Finish in San Diego.
2,500 miles in 11 days. Great trip. I want to go back.

Re: Baja Pics
You ride mtn bikes. You've ridden in the sand before. Imagine riding a mtn bike with slicks in the sand. While wearing a 50lb backpack.
