Sorry to hear about the CID photo embargo. Do we need to make banners and march or what?

Banners are printing as we speak, march set up on the corner of single track & uphill - all advised to attend

" Each trail had it's demanding moments" Let's hear more of the challenges, please.

The story looks like a lark!

"Cool", when the Dream evolves into the reality. I find two days later it is hard to tell the difference.

I have blisters on my hands, my bike is held together with bailing wire, it's four days now "post ride" and I'm starting to walk normal and some feeling to my arse has returned!

Another epic Baja adventure in the books with a great crew! Thanks Dan for putting it together!

I think Rigger is Passionate about riding

"Meditation and Life Reflection" Indeed, we can all use more along those lines.

I don't want to scare anyone away from future rides... :bigeyed:

As you know theres a sense of balance out there,

"you must endure the difficult component to truly appreciate the experience & beauty"

Then you head out to reflect...........

Thanks for sharing the pics Rigger. I couldn't get my shifts covered so wasn't able to make this ride but I'm really interested in getting back down there asap for some coastal cliff/bluff and beach riding.

btw the big hill outside San Quintin can be seen in some of the Baja Beach Bash videos! I'll try to find it on film.

I'd love to talk routes and loop ideas sometime..

I've mapped out a few routes heading south west of Mikes/Meling to the coast. Did you take the Observatory road east before dropping south (right) then west on dirt towards Vincente Guerro?

Do you have a waypoint for that firetower south of Ramona's/Sawmill?

I've decided to post a few pics from the ride.

The boys coming down the Goat Trail before Valle T

P1060717_zpsvscdzcct.jpg

I'm not sure if there is anything better than riding in a field of grass (except maybe the beach or nice single track).

P1060726_zpsojqh5uqv.jpg

At this point most of us were pretty tired. I like doing 180 miles or so to Mikes then stopping for the night. Not Rigger when we got to Mikes we turned left and did another 30 miles or so of some pretty tough trail. These were trails that are impassable in a Jeep or Quad and would be a real challenge on bigger bikes.

P1060729_zpsyev7juuy.jpg

Riggers line for most of the ride was "just 10 more miles". He said this often.

P1060731_zpswojxtkmq.jpg

The ride was hard but we got to see great things almost all the time. There something that wild horses and guys on off road bikes have in common.

P1060737_zpstnr30yit.jpg

Nice mellow night at the Meling Ranch. That's all you get because they close the refrigerator that serves as the bar at 8. This was fine with us because we were all pretty tired.

The next day saw more great riding.

Dan having a little fun on his 500

P1060753_zpsu7zrfymg.jpg

Time for a little rest.

P1060798_zpsjiilpqow.jpg

After a night that I don't remember much of what better way to shake off the cob webs than a little beach single track in the morning.

P1060845_zpsgn5yk6m7.jpg

Picked up and moved this guy off the road so he wouldn't get run over.

P1060850_zps6ee5ff3c.jpg

P1060853_zpsb1ons3tk.jpg

Rigger photo bomb

P1060859_zpskqtxpjnp.jpg

Nice views from the top of the volcano.

P1060860_zpsiqqfxdln.jpg

Then we were rewarded with miles and miles of beach riding.

Kent giving his approval.

P1060896_zpsvfrsu7n0.jpg

P1060917_zpsi9eyc2ua.jpg

A nice stop for some taco's.

P1060931_zpsdpxoxohz.jpg

This is what it's like almost all the time when you ride with Rigger.

Then back to the beach.

P1060933_zpszautromt.jpg

Stopped to help this guy off the road on the way to Valle T (didn't pick him up).

P1060956_zps1xnsmszp.jpg

After a quiet night at Mikes, Rigger had a few more surprises for us. I've been to Mike's probably a hundred times but had never taken the Simpson trail out the back way to Valle T. It really gets the blood flowing in the morning.

P1060969_zpstjrze80p.jpg

A quick ride mostly on the trail brought us back to the Saw Mill for some taco's and a little gas.

P1060979_zpsjtk705sf.jpg

Thanks to Dan for showing us his playground and to Tracy, Kent and V-Dog for a great ride.
