Had a nasty surprise on a recent border run ride

Same here! But I have to confess my favorite sight was Doc

Going up would be much worse I think. I would still like to give it a try when temps are lower.

I know this thread is dead, but finally I was able to do Kernan (going down). Not too bad. A few parts were more spicy but very doable. Our group: BMW GSA, CFMoto Ibex 800, KTM 890 R, Kove 450 Rally Pro. There are some parts that are narrow with a lot of loose rocks with a drop on the side, so not a lot of room for error. Need to be very careful or you will spend a lot of time rescuing your bike from going down the hill.

No, but yes for Q1 next year

We are organizing a premium short tour of Baja (3 days only) in December. All hotel, all inclusive, all premium. It's part of our "LOT" series (Learn on Trail), so not only you'll be having a good time in Mexico, you will be learning from the best (Baja 100 Ironman Champion) More info here: https://www.socaloffroadschool.com/lot-baja-bougie

You know I make it work southbound traffic everyday right?

About the same... 2000 jumps, but mostly belly... old dog here 😁 And (zero) BASE jumps

My type of comment! Blue skies! (from a fellow skydiver)

I know it's pretty south (near Pio Pico, Otay), but I'm willing to host. We could even do a short Otay ride afterwards.

Shameless plug, we have regular ADV classes. The next one is on June 14 in Campo, CA. https://www.socaloffroadschool.com/book-your-event/p/adv-sprsum-2025 Not only do you improve your skills, but you get to know other like-minded riders.

I have one too

Super nice! Congrats! Is this for the track or you planning on trail riding too?

I rode McCain yesterday. Epic traction!!
