Book at cal’s under the group name Riggerdan and order steak for dinner. We will be starting at the gas station ion the US side in Tecate I believe.

Because I worry about such things, I'll be crossing the border about 30 minutes before the ride start time to get my FMM stamped. Those interested in doing the same are welcome to accompany me. We'll keep in touch via radios and rejoin the group when they cross right near the border. Here's the info: https://www.bajabound.com/before/permits/visa.php

December 14-16. (fri-sat-sun) 

 

 

NOT noob or BIG bike friendly - more of a quick intermediate technical boogie through and around the Baja peninsular 

Shelter, tacos and beer all part of the ingredients.

 

Chime in if interested  150 mile range  new to Baja ok - new to riding maybe not so much..

 

 

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

GPS tracks will be provided for this boogie - don't assume you can just follow the pack, it's a safe redundancy to have a working and updated GPS wired to your bike.... 

Parking a vehicle at the border is easy, simple, safe and cheap..

The Mexican currency is the Peso currently @ 20:1 

I use the local currency for everything except accommodations (CID amex card should be fine) aka USD

We will stop in Tecate to withdraw pesos - ATM card USA Passport card & is usually the only thing in my pocket....

 

 

CROSSING THE TECATE BORDER @ 0730

Have a current registration for your bike readily available 

There will be minimal riding on pavement, I'm sorry...If you feel the need to be insured, there's a few companies we support - inquire within 

It would be smart to call and "verbaly" reserve your shelter - If you need help - please PM me   

12/14/18 - COYOTE CALS - 011 52 646 154 4080 (Rick) 

12/15/18 - MIKES SKY RANCHO - 011 52 664 681 5514 (Mike) 

12/16/18 - Estimated time to cross back into USA 4:00PM

Hola

For December thinking about this passage - open to variations & suggestions 

 

Depart Teacate 0700 gas/lunch at Ojos - more dirt spend the night at Cals with good food and margaritas 

Cals south along coast to Vincente Guerrero gas/lunch -  back into the hills spend the night at MSR with a visit to the observatory (if not to cold) 

Home through VT / Laguna Hansen - Tecate 

 

FRIDAY

12/14/2018

D1 - 160 +/- Miles

 

SATURDAY

12/15/2018

D2 - 140 +/- Miles (190 W/observatory) 

 

SUNDAY

12/16/2018

D3 - 175 +/- Miles

 

 

These are some of the shortest (daylight) days of the year..

This is a fast moving caravan with the ability to maintain an intermediate pace, and have a good time doing it.

Always have time to deal with deviations / mechanicals etc. 

Well maintained bikes / riders with good lights, communication and 150 mile + range is encouraged

Thought that I would add the itinerary again here on page four; for those that don't want to look for it way back around page one! (big smiles)  ;)))) !

Looks like we have some momentum...:good:

The most difficult part of this ride will be deciding if we want to keep riding south to Cabo 

 

Look forward seeing you Rich, congrats on the five hundo

Yeah thanks for putting this together Riggerdan! I made my reservations however there may be a little confusion at Cal's as far as who is in your group. Once the list is set it would prob be a good idea for someone to check just to make sure that everyone is consolidated into one group and there aren't duplicate reservations.

Hola

Here's a baseline checklist I use for a winter Baja ride.

Some things don't make the list - though most do.

I have all intentions of a safe enjoyable journey, though an unexpected stay in the mountains for the night or extended amount of time is not far from possible..

Good list Rigger, glad to know that I have most of the items listed without too much prompting. I'm on the right track...single track that is! Is it December yet?
