Baja 2016: Day 1!

We’re out here living large, folks!  It was wheels in the wells at 8:00 a.m. this morning when we rolled out of Azusa.   It was good day…an easy 212-mile ride, and we are spending the night in Ensenada.    I was able to grab a few photos of the 13 people on this adventure ride and a few other things as well…enjoy!

Good buddy Fathi, who is riding two up with his wife Doina.  I’ll get some more photos of her in the next day or two…

Good buddy Mike, with Baja in the background…

Good buddy Dan, another member of the CSC RX3 Colorado contingent.   There are four guys from Colorado on this ride!

Good buddy Sara, making a new friend along Mexico’s Pacific coast…

Good buddy Keith, who rode with us on last year’s CSC Baja ride…

This is Sayed, a local guy with a cool CG-engined chopper.   We talked bikes for a while and he let me take a photo…

The crew enjoying what can only be described as a glorious day.  The riding was wonderful today.    12 RX3 motorcycles, the Pacific Ocean, Mexico…it just doesn’t get any better!  No, wait…it’s going to be even better tomorrow!

A couple of our RX3 pilots in the hotel parking area.

Wow, street tacos!   This guy knows his business.  Lunch was delicious.

My incredible fish taco lunch…all $3.25 of it!

I saw this sign along the street in Ensenada and I grabbed a photo…

Good buddy Mike one more time…he’s been thinking about buying the new CSC RC3, and he thought he would try the more aggressive riding stance…

My good buddy J, enjoying a beer I never heard of until tonight and one with a name I can’t remember.  After putting the bikes away for the night we enjoyed awesome appetizers and a beer or two.    Good times, my friends!

We’re going to be on the road at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow, and we’ll make Guerrero Negro by nightfall.   It’s going to be a long, 381-mile day, but like any day in Baja, it’s going to be fun.   We have an exceptionally good group of people on this ride and I am enjoying it immensely.

Stay tuned…more to follow!
