(October 30 – ridden by Nancy and Dave) Today we finished the Alaska to Baja ride –approximately 8,200Ks, or 5,100 miles.  La Paz has been a “mythical” destination for quite some time and now we are here.  It feels a bit surreal.  We still have a long ways to go to reach Patagonia but we … Continue reading Baja complete! –Las Pocitas to La Paz (115k/8252k)

(October 29 – written by Nancy) Today we made all of three turns in our whole 100 kilometer ride – counting the turn from the street our hotel was on back on to Hwy 1.  The rest of the turns were just the road curving enough that you could actually call it a turn.  The … Continue reading Straight Day – Cuidad Constitucion to Las Pocitas (100k/8137k)

(October 28 – written by Dave) Not much happened today.  It was a really short day distance wise – only 29k We had two turns all day – a right turn leaving the old hotel and another right turn entering the new hotel.  The rest of the road was 100% straight.  If you can find … Continue reading Not much day – Cuidad Insurgentes to Cuidad Constitucion (29k/8037k)

(October 27 – written by Dave) It was hard to tear ourselves away from our lovely cabana this morning but we had a longish day planned so we had to get over the urge to say “one more day” pretty quickly.  We had brekkie early and were rolling away at 7AM. Even though it was … Continue reading Rider update – Loreto to Cuidad Insurgentes (123k/8008k)

(October 26 – written by Nancy) Well, our nice relaxing time in Loreto is coming to a close and tomorrow we start our final segment into La Paz.  I was a little bit worried when we first booked a place here for 5 nights whether we would find enough to do to fill the time.  … Continue reading Discovering the Paleteria

(October 25 – written by Dave) El Rey, or “the King”, is a very local taco restaurant located near the corner of Benito Juarez and Misoneros Streets.  It’s a little way off the beaten path and just outside the main tourist area. El Rey – the best fish tacos in Loreto – so far, yes … Continue reading El Rey – King of Tacos

(October 24 – written by Dave) We’ve had a couple days off in Loreto and we do like this town.  All of the locals that we speak with tell us that tourist season starts next month and it definitely doesn’t feel busy.  Having said that, we’ve seen more gringos here than in the past 3 … Continue reading Festival Loreto – rest days in Loreto

(October 22 – written by Dave) Yesterday was PBV day, chilled, relaxed and really not much to do.  I did have one job however.  In the early afternoon I received an email from Frederik.  It turns out that Seb had lost his swimmers (swim shorts) somewhere and they wanted me to check around their beach … Continue reading Short stories –PBV to Loreto (98k/7885k)

(October 21 – written by Dave) We’ve have a relaxing day at Playa Buenaventura – or as PBV as the locals call it. Seb and Frederik spent the night, leaving early this morning. Martin and Nina stopped for lunch on their way through. The sun went down.  The sun came up. We swam in some … Continue reading Scenes from PBV – getting in the groove…

(October 20 – written by Nancy) Well, I think we have finally made it to one of the prettiest places in Mexico – at least that we have seen so far.  We are at a little place along the Bahia Concepcion (Bay of Conception), a bay off the Sea of Cortez that is surrounded by … Continue reading Concepcion Bahia – Mulege to Playa Buenaventura (44k/7787k)
