Bluhdow 16 Posted December 6, 2016 Looking to do a day trip down south in the next couple of weeks. I've only been a couple of times so don't know the area too well...would ideally like to tag along with someone more experienced. Open to routes/destinations. Weekdays are ideal, but I can do a weekend if that's all that works. In the past I've done Puerto Nuevo which was a nice day trip. Been as far south as Coyote Cal's but that's more than I'd like to take on this time around. DR-Z400, intermediate skill. Grazie! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken S 164 Posted December 6, 2016 I'm down for a Santa Veronica - Tecate trip. Weekends only for me. This weekend is District 38 race, then I'm open for the next month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carguy 1 Posted December 6, 2016 I am interested in a weekday trip. Not really familiar with the routes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluhdow 16 Posted December 7, 2016 Kenny, I'd be game for a Saturday trek if you know the route. Let me know a Saturday that works for you and I'll pencil you in! Carguy, weekdays are even better for me, but I don't know my way around well enough for just the two of us. If we can tie in someone who knows the way we can make it happen for sure!

mgarc1a 0 Posted December 7, 2016 I would really like to go. We can just plot a route on Google Maps and save it on the phone if there is no one that knows the route. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken S 164 Posted December 7, 2016 I prefer to drive to Santa Veronica About 20 minutes from the border. Theres lots of single and double track riding all around there and lunch at the hotel. You can ride your 2 stroke that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluhdow 16 Posted December 7, 2016 I just had some tracks sent my way. I'll take a look when I get a chance and see if it's a viable option for the group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluhdow 16 Posted December 7, 2016 And Kenny, that sounds awesome! I'm game for that one weekend. Let me know when you're itching to get down there and we'll make it happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken S 164 Posted December 7, 2016 I'm always itching. Pick a date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slagnado 0 Posted December 8, 2016 I'm so overdue...I just don't have any days off this month. GO Go GO and a plan will come to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluhdow 16 Posted December 8, 2016 I've got some tracks here for what appears to be a good day loop. They are a Google Earth file. Anyone have the knowledge and hardware to make use of them? Kenny, as far as Saturdays go I'm pretty slammed through the end of the year. Sundays are typically devoted to football and my lady. No chance you've got a couple weekdays here during the holiday season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken S 164 Posted December 8, 2016 I'm self employed and my business doesn't allow me many days off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CVRick 42 Posted December 9, 2016 I would like to join in on A day trip. I can get arrange A weekday off with advance notice. I have zero experience with Baja on A bike. Intermediate skill level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goofy Footer 539 Posted December 10, 2016 I would highly recommend parking on the US side in Tecate and riding across (if you're not plated, just walk the bike to the border - it's 1/4 mile from the parking lot). #1 don't have to wait in line on the return trip (like in the US, bikes split lanes and ride straight to the front) #2 you don't need additional Baja insurance on your truck For a 4 stroke it's a no brainer imho and I've seen plenty of guys in 2 strokes do this too. Depending on route once you cross, there is a small hwy transit to the dirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most definitely. That's how I've done it in the past. Works beautifully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken S 164 Posted December 11, 2016 I'm good either way, just have to put my big tank on. Pick a Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jawhitmoyer 0 Posted December 14, 2016 I am going this Saturday, Tecate to the Sawmill, if anyone wants to join me. I'll be parking on the US side and riding my 300 xc through the border. No one gives me a second look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bluhdow 16 Posted December 14, 2016 Damn! I'm already booked up this Saturday otherwise I'd join you jawhitmoyer. Let me know if you're going again anytime soon! Kenny, some possible options (which I haven't confirmed with my lady) could be: - 12/31 (as long as we're home in time for me to clean up and make it to an NYE party) - 1/7 - 1/21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
