¡we drove the baja!

We drove the Baja in 3 days. It was pretty much a high speed burnout. The last 2 days we drove 400 miles each. One of those days the wind was so bad it nearly knocked us off our bikes and we were riding at about a 45 degree angle in to the cross-wind. We passed through about 10 military checkpoints but were waved through all of them, no problems. We are in La Paz today waiting for the ferry to come tonight and are about to do some well needed laundry. It is a 13 hour ride across to the mainland, then we are heading down to Oaxaca with a couple other riders we met in La Paz. The Baja was fantastic. Lots of cacti, friendly folks, good food, great ocean roads and excellent camping. Last night we camped at bajio de los muertes, but the rich developers changed it to the bajio de los Sueños...apparently the bay of death doesn´t sell too well. It was beautiful and there were a lot of fishermen around. Here are some pics from baja...

  2. I think I am going to try and ride the down and back before the end of the winter. I am glad to see you guys did it in three days. I am sure that is a little iron man type of riding but just awesome. How is the bike holding up? Keep the pictures coming and speed safely.
