I may as well quitriding now, cause I can't see it getting any better than this. Not only where the riding conditions perfect, the group couldn't have been any better. Everyone had the same ajenda, ride all day, eat like a pig, have a couple of pops, sleep then ride all day again.
This is how she looked before 2 weeks of total abuse!
This is where we left the bus in Santo Thomas. Conditions where perfect and leaving the bus in a reasonably secure area.
Less than 5k into the ride and Greg decided to remove his counter sprocket on the highway. 10 minutes later, all is well and we're heading south again.
Here we are at one of our first of many team meeting, Momma Espinossas, (forgive the many spelling errors that will be in this post
Here is the chairman doing what he does best, (throwing @#!&^% on KTM's)
Guy comming to a high speed intersection in the cacti.
Leedam, Claude and I have a male bonding experience in the middle of nowhere. Next time I think we need the girls at the turning point. (just a thought).
Them are some big ass cactus!
Claude, Leedam, Guy and Darren enjoying just being there.
Fish and shrimp taco's at Scorpion Bay, it doesn't get any better.
Quick gas stop in the fishing village, plus a can of octane boost for the high strung bikes, and off we go
A visit with the local youth group, hand out candy and toys, a quick wheelie by those who can and of into the horizon. Notice the cool kid in the front, if you zoom in, you can see those are my daughters Minni Mouse sunglasses
Tom was able to find some shade to eat his apple. This was before General Montezuma came to visit him. (You can tell by the smile on his face).
Another well deserved team meeting. This time it's at Hotel California in Todas Santos. One of many must see towns in the Baja.
Not as swank as Hotel California but every bit as good in Contitution.
The beach run into Todas Santos was a blast but the KTM is still mad at me for putting her through it.
Four amigo's in Scorpion Bay.
I had to take this picture so I could remeber one of the hottest days of my life. Riding deep sand for the first time and climatising to the baja heat all in the same day.
Gregg trying to get Tom a little dusty
Oil change and wrenching day in Cabo
Tom wondering how such a small pipe can cause so much heat
Departure morning from Cabo. A night at the office, shower and laundry, clean the bikes, now lets go screw it all up again. Yee-Hah
Back on the road, heading for La Paz via Los Barrillos
Another team meeting, ceviche and fish taco's, sounds familiar but never gets boring.
Leedam taking it all in
Tom has had his meeting with General Montezuma. It is quite obvious who won.
Claude hanging out in his new favorite spot
Doug, trying to dump out some of that excess gas he was carrying.
Leedam, with the Sea of Cortez behind him
The only other riders we happened to meet where from Kaslo. I love the smell of orange in the morning!
Leedam, flat tracking through the desert. Looks like he's having a blast.
It was somewhere close to this town, I realizedI had a serious issue with my bike.
Here is Claude fixing my serious issue. My front wheel bearing was non-existent. A few wraps of nylon strapping, covered with electrical tape got me 140km of highway riding at 70kph. I think Claude has applied for the patent
My new Mexican friends took me 20km to the highway so I could test the new balero.
New bearings bussed up from La Paz. Note to self,metric bearings are tough to find in the Baja, be sure to bring them with you.
More fun in the Baja
Leedam heading for the horizon.
Team DSBC trying to find Coco.
This was the team meeting of all team meetings, with our honorary team member Coco at the famous Coco's Cormer
We thought we could drink Coco dry, apparently not.
Stopping on the road to decide if we are comming or going. Not really sure, we forged on
Epic riding all day!
The final day of riding and it just keeps getting better. If you don't know which way to go, the cow will point you there.
Two hours to get to the bus, or we could take this other trail........
8 hours later we roll into Santo Thomas in the dark! Oh what fun it was
"If we follow the game trail through the wash, it will take us to the road back to the bus". Are you sure about that Tom?
SIGN ME UP FOR NEXT YEAR!!
I sure hope my family understands:clap:
