spdnjoe 0 Posted March 13, 2015 What are we talking about total mileage ? Parking in San Ysidro ? Thinking about it on my XR650R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goofy Footer 539 Posted March 13, 2015 What are we talking about total mileage ? Parking in San Ysidro ? Thinking about it on my XR650R It's maybe 2.5 - 3.5 hours from Tecate to Ojos along Compadre depending on stops and if you visit Santa Veronica. Not sure on mileage but <100 for certain. Your 650R would eat up Compadre Trail and this could be a fun intro to Baja day trip. If you're okay with some more slabbing, you could come back north through SawMill/Ramonas towards La Rumorosa for a change in scenery. Compadre is a large, well traveled trail. It's not what I'd call two track really - it's more of a fireroad but it does have some sandy sections and has some rolling hills towards the south end. Keep an eye out for rain ruts. Parking in Tecate is $5 per day. Ojos Tacos! I have a few other pics of Compadre Trail in this ride report (day one). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
