There 'IS' Mountain Biking in Cabo!

 I was really unsure if there was a community here in San Jose and whether there would be access to trails. I encountered a ton of construction equipment, and construction areas where they are digging rocks and sand to build new resorts. But there were trails! On all of my riding in Baja, I rarely see other riders.

Thunder Jump

Hit it!

Don't park here during the rain

Sometimes you are just riding along and see the strangest things...stuffed animals and dolls hanging from cactus. Not just one, there were hundreds all along the trail. WTF?

Someone didn't like their childhood?

And then a construction area, relocating (or more likely, selling) a tree...

Pretty good riding area, mix of terrain, but the trails were marked and easy to follow. I'm always amazed at how they are not too technical. Blue and Red (red= BC Black) are not so technical, but it indicates a vicious climb in the middle of the trail to climb out of the inferno down low. The loose switchbacks in the heat are a challenge.

Of course, a little exposure to be aware of...

I'll go again tomorrow and explore more. Get down here Roger!

Desert Moto

 Well, I have spent some quality days riding in the desert with some old and some new friends. JeffE and Mark hooked up a guided trip and moto rental starting out of Los Barriles, BCS so I thought what a great way to spend a week in the desert!

Safe camping with a pool and hot showers

Rolling out, hoping for rain to keep the dust down. No luck. It blew over...

The Adventure Coop :: https://www.youtube.com/@theadventurecooperative/videos :: is a group of like minded riders who come from Canada each winter to capture some sunshine and explore the Baja.

The Adventure Coop Bus

Chris and Steph were awesome hosts! Get in touch if you are interested in a desert ride.

Each day we rode different directions. North along the beach, south along the ridge lines overlooking the Sea of Cortez, and west into the mountains. Such a variety of riding. Ripping the sandy arroyo at 80kph was certainly a wakeup call. Don't get off the gas or you'll bury the front wheel and eat sand.

El Triunfo

Breakfast in San Bartolo

We rode 5 days through desert arroyos, stopped to swim at an oasis and explored bat caves.

Don't hit the cows!

Lunch in Santiago

Cave break

Are you brave enough to explore the bat cave?

Jack!

This baby goat was only ONE DAY old!

Time to move south and have some Cabo time. Roger wants to mountain bike so I'll explore some trails. Also, I'd like to ride the East Cape - the undeveloped (for now) area at the tip of the Baja peninsula.
