It's 11:30 a.m. and I am blogging in my PJs...... I'm either retired or a stoner! But I digress.
Back in mid December when my friend Sarah pitched the plan for mountain biking the length of Baja California, and then asked if I would like to join her, I said I would think about it and get back to her. So I thought about it....... for about 15 minutes! Of course I was going - what a great opportunity for a little adventure (emphasis on "little") and the chance to be outside in the winter in a T-shirt. So this Thursday, we start pedaling south through Baja. With a little luck, we should be back in about 2 months.

Details on the route can be found on the Baja Divide website. Huge thanks to Lael Wilcox and Nicholas Carman for developing the route and then gifting it to the bikepacking community.
The bike I will be riding is an Advocate Hayduke outfitted with all kinds of Revelate Designs bags, rolls and pockets. But even with all those zippered pockets, there still won't be a whole lot of extra room, so we will be traveling as light as possible (no stove).

All shiny and new
Big thanks to the folks at Soul Ride in Prescott for getting the bike all set up on such short notice. You did a lot to ease my panic!
We will be posting occasional updates on Facebook - feel free to check out our progress (or lack thereof.....).
Cheers,
Ron
