LA to Cabo on dirt and Cabo back to LA over blacktop through surfing towns.

Day 8 – Todos los Santos to Loreto


Morning started with a run down some dusty, bendy roads alongside small, clear flowing aqueducts that supplied the green planted fields on either side as we made our way down to a vast, empty beach of endless sand and close-crashing … Continue reading

Day 6 – La Paz to San Jose del Cabo


Forgot to post a picture from yesterday. I mean, I’m not going to let a self-portrait go without posting. My mom would be so disappointed… I got up early this morning and headed into town for a quick breakfast, riding … Continue reading

Day 5 – Mulegé to La Paz


Ok, you’re finally getting a short one today.  Promise.  Totally cereal this time. I got up after an astounding night’s sleep (in a good way) thinking I would just have a nice 5-hour ride to La Paz cruising along Hwy … Continue reading

Day 4 – Mulegé (hang out day)


If you’re still reading, I’ll reward you with a (relatively) shorter post today!  De nada. I woke up tired and groggy – a midnight manhunt in a foreign country where you’re the target will do that to you.  Let’s just … Continue reading

Day 1 – LA to Ensenada


I’ll warn you – long post.  There’s just an overwhelming assault on the senses when you ride into a foreign land, even if it’s “only” Mexico, our close neighbor… Today started out with a couple French press coffees and plenty … Continue reading

Day 0 – LA – Work Day


Flew in last night, and JonathAn was nice enough to take me to get my bike from storage.  What a pain in the ass (the location of my bike, not JonathAn).  At least on the way back, I got some … Continue reading

Introduction – Day (-1) – Flight to LA


Hola!  Como estas?  Estudio Espaniol mucho pero apprendo muy despacio.  Pero, esta bien.  Yea, my Spanish isn’t much, but hopefully it will get me through Mexico for a week or so. Quick word about the journey ahead:  I’m headed to … Continue reading
