Ken S 165 Posted July 25, 2016 This was my first Baja ride. Can't wait to go back. Went with my friend Brian on a spiritual retreat camping near La Bufadora. Beautiful camp ground on the Cliffs above Ensenada bay. Arivef Friday and I went solo exploring around Punta Banda and overindulging on street tacos. Sarurday morning we headed down the coast in a fog bank. As we headed up into the mountains we'd clear the fog and be treated to a Baja sunrise and mile after mile of trails all to our self. About 40 miles south we come to the end of the road that is now impassable. Came upon a lobster camp and 2 of the fisherman wanted to see our bikes and then went for a ride with us. Both of them on old rusty Yamaha WR250's. They showed us several miles of their single track on which Brian and I both looped our bikes. Wound up trading our spare goggles for a backpack full of lobster tails. They didn't want money. Brian was wore out after 100 mile morning ride so I went solo until dark doing more exploring of Punta Banda trails with any Taco Stand stops. Day 3 we trucked to SantoThomas and rode west about 20 miles to the beach and then South stoping in Epindera for gas and fresh fish tacos and a rear tube change for me. We continued south mostly 5th gear pinned for a couple hours along the most amazing coast line then back for more fuel and tacos. Ride about 175 miles before returning to the truck wore out but with huge smiles. Brian was an amazing guide and has racing Score for 30 years. He knows many of the locals by first name and everyone we met along the way was so friendly. I can't wait to go again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jawhitmoyer 0 Posted July 26, 2016 Finally someone mans up and goes riding in Baja. Great job, Ken. My daughter was likely conceived in the Bufadora campground on the front seat of my BMW (don't mention this if you ever meet my wife). The rest of the pics are from some of the best riding down there...I am jealous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
