The Baja riding season is upon us, and I wanted to do a two-day recon mission to either confirm or deny rumors of trail conditions in the north. Random teaser pics. I’m continually amazed at how much adventure Baja gives back for each day of riding. Crossing Tecate border getting home, Steve and I were talking about how it felt like we’d just done a 7 day BDR. That was day 2, Tuesday night. We got our calls into the wives telling them we were on U.S. soil again just before the Sena’s died. But I digress. Let’s start at the beginning. To be continued…

Doing a three day easy dirt trip down to Baja May 23-25 (Memorial Day weekend). You'll be home Sunday afternoon to enjoy the Monday holiday with your family. Leaving from Denny's La Mesa at 8:30 am. First night is Mike's, second is Coyote Cal's. You need to make your own reservations at Coyote Cal's and don't forget to request dinner in the box at the bottom. I have 8 going right now and we're all good riders. Room for maybe 4 more. Noobs are welcome, but you have to be comfortable riding in dirt and not have this be your first time. Knobby tires recommended. The terrain isn't hard (very big bike friendly) but you have to be comfortable on dirt enough to ride faster than 10 mph. I heard the last Escondido BMW ride was a bit of a clusterfark as some guy got lost for 6 hours and couldn't ride faster than 10 mph and another busted his collar bone. Nobody wants to have to deal with that. I've been down there before with noob-ish riders and haven't had any problems. We just have longer breaks and everyone's happy. We will probably do an A/B grouping so faster riders can go ahead. Dunes also an option for the better riders. I think right now we have: two 690's, 650 xchallenge, two GSA's, one GS
