Administrators Eric Hall Posted October 14, 2015 Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Working on a Baja trip now. An EPIC one Whales Petroglyphs Stuff you've never seen before Great food The usual suspects appear to be in: Me Erik VZ Eric L Rich D Mike T Mark S Kim K You need to know how to ride to go on this trip. Ideally, you have ridden Baja before. You need a passport and Mexican insurance for your bike. You need a bike in good working order with fresh knobbies, tools, tubes, etc... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Hall Posted October 19, 2015 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yes. Maybe even longer for those who want to. There's a few places I still want to see like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomek S Posted October 20, 2015 My Ride Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) I went there in May with my family. Great place. However a little run down especially for the price they charge. It says there "No motorcycles" for some reason so better check. This is a view from South overlooking most of the Oasis. On the horizon Laguna Salada dry lake.

Tomek S Posted October 20, 2015 My Ride Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Btw, similar to last year i won't be able to join for a full trip. If your route ends up somewhere within 100-150 miles of the border on 30th I'll think I might be able to join. Last year Erik VZ and I rode from Bahia to Ensenada, 330miles. Beautiful road but quite tiring, especially at the end where there are quite a few of smaller communities along the route. Nevertheless I had a great time even on a shorter schedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I prefer driving up or down the 5 on the east coast over the 1 for the reasons you state above. Too much stop and go once you get to within a few hours of Ensenada. Support vehicle? You know you've hit the big time when you have a support vehicle! What's the cost for that? What's the plan looking like now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted November 3, 2015 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 The guy I was talking to is very nice and does great work but it's at a price I don't think any of us will pay. I'm used to a budget of $70/day and would pay an extra $30 per day maybe, or $100/day but he wants like $250/day per rider! I said I could probably find guys who would pay that but the people I usually ride with down there would not be willing to pay that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason R Posted November 3, 2015 My Ride Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Shoot I would be the support vehicle for $250/day per rider. =) Change your oil too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I feel the need for a support vehicle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBearRider Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Maybe the last few miles of pavement by Coco's extending the 5 to the 1 will be done by the Xmas. Unlikely, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBearRider Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Are they doing anything there at all? From what I've read, they're working hard on the last 20 or so miles to connect the 5 with the 1. However, the new road won't go right next to Coco's.

Administrators Eric Hall Posted December 14, 2015 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 This may not happen. I'm short on cash and want to spend more time with the kids. I also was having difficulty planning something different from what we've usually ridden down there. I've done it 14 times on the bike and wanted something new. Rich is a maybe (boat stuff) Erik doesn't think he can swing it but sounds like he might be down there at his place near Mulege. Eric L has to be back early. Mike T still wants to go. Eric L and I are talking about maybe doing something near his place in Cibola, AZ. Jason R too? Maybe Mike will come along? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBearRider Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 It's now confirmed that we will fly down on the 24th, and return on the 1st. I'll ride next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
