Weekend Baja ride: 5 Angry KLRs and a Katoom

[Dan Diego 40]

Hooo, boy. Just back from a weekend ride down the Baja coast, mainly from Santo Tomas to Camalu. Wow, why didn't I know that the coast road was washed out in several places? I gotta do better research...

I hosted a group of KLR riders from New Mexico and Arizona. And my little brother tagged along on his Gen 1 KLR.

All went really well, but there were some areas that were not big bike friendly. A couple of drops but no injuries.

We hit the coast just north of the Punto San Jose lighthouse and spent time at Coyote Cal's; I'm pleased to say that there's a Kug sticker there now. We camped on the beach at the volcano south of Erendira.

The next morning (Sunday), we headed south with breakfast plans in Camalu. After two pretty serious wash-outs and detours that were not feasible, we hit the pavement, then Hwy 1 North.

I had a hook-up at the San Ysidro border and the crossing took 8 minutes total.

Good work Dan!

btw when you say not big bike friendly, you mean that all the mighty KRLs made it but your shiny new piggy moto couldn't handle the business?

When do you ship out east? Any other upcoming Baja rides?

Since I was the host/leader, I was the one who went first whenever we came a split in the trail. I would return--hot and tired and dusty, with broken KTM parts in my pockets--and say, "Yeah, it's NOT that way."

I head to DC on 9/27 for 90 days (or so).

But I'm heading out there next week for a quick 4-day thing.
