Dual sports? We don’t need no stinking dual sports! A scene in downtown Ensenada a short while ago…
Before my involvement with CSC, I had never had a motorcycle ride through Baja where I didn’t get rain. Since my involvement with CSC, we were never rained on during any of our Baja rides, and that was four rides through Baja without feeling even one drop. All that changed today. Although the forecast was for rain to roll into Azusa at 10:00 a.m. today, we were hoping we would miss it on our trek south. You know what they say about hoping for things, though…you can hope in one hand, and…well, you know the rest.
We had only left the CSC plant for maybe 20 minutes, just enough to pick up the 57 south, and then it rained the entire way down to Ensenada. We had a few instances where it rained less hard, but it was wet pretty much for the entire 200 miles. The RX3s did just fine, though, as did all of the intrepid souls on this ride…

Everyone was in good spirits (a few raindrops wouldn’t kill that), and we had an awesome lunch at a restaurant Tim knew. It was incredible, with servings of carne asada, pork, and goat. Throw in a few corn and flour tortillas, guacamole, fresh chopped onions, cilantro, a few beers, a few Margaritas, and it made for a grand dinner…

I didn’t take too many photos today because of the rain, but I grabbed a few that I thought I would share with you…

It’s cold down here in Ensenada, but it’s not too bad. Tomorrow is a big day…we’re riding all the way to Guerrero Negro, and we’re hoping it doesn’t rain. We’re leaving early, and with the time change tonight, it means we’re leaving even earlier than we thought we would be.
Stay tuned, folks…there’s more good stuff coming!
