![]() Here’s everything you need to know about the Baja 1000. Many argue that knowing the terrain is “key to survival.” Risk and danger are all part of the allure of this grueling and exciting experience. To say it would be challenging would be an understatement. Each Baja race comes with its own obstacles but this one has been known to be one of the biggest off-road races out there. As the final round in a four-race annual series of races put on by SCORE International, competitors come from all over the world to see if they have what it takes to handle both the distance and the terrain. Founded in 1967 by Ed Pearlman, this off-road truck racing has become one of the most prestigious in the world. In fact, I'm planning on scheduling a 7 day trip with them next spring.īaja Ride are guys who love riding bikes, love Baja, and love getting to share that with others.The Baja 1000 and How to Communicate During the Race The Baja 1000 RaceĮvery year, adventure seekers make their way to Baja California, Mexico to test their technical driving abilities in the Baja 1000 race. I'm not a big review person, however these guys provided me with one of the best riding experiences ever. The also had gear if you were to have brought nothing (jersey's, pants, safety gear, etc.). They had all of those pieces in abundance and in great shape. I actually brought all of my riding gear except for helmet, boots and roost deflector. Their site says all gear is included and they are correct. Finished off our ride and had another great day in Baja. After we left Erick stopped in town for some hydration which got me back in the game. It was extremely hot this day and the hike to the waterfalls (only about 20 mins) had me feeling it. The spot for lunch was terrific and the waterfalls were beautiful. This ride was more mountain terrain and was a lot of fun. Again, Fab got me from my hotel and Erick again provided a great ride. I enjoyed this trip so much I scheduled a ride to the Santiago Waterfalls two days later. After lunch was pretty much coastline back - including a ride on the beach, which was some flat out fun! Prior to returning Erick jumped on some single track which was also a blast. Super fresh and a great backdrop with the Sea of Cortez right there. Once at Cabo Pulmo I was treated to the best fish taco I've eaten. Erick also did a great job letting me know when we were turning and if there were any dangers I needed to watch for using hand signals well before we reached the turn/hazard. I have been riding off road and some desert racing, so once I got used to the bike he and I had a great time ripping through the landscape. The bike was perfect for me.Įrick and I took off on the Cabo Pulmo trip and what a blast it was. Fab pointed out the Baja aftermarket suspension and other goodies they put on the bikes to make them truly Baja worthy. There I met Erick and checked out the CRF450X I'd be riding that day. me to his location - not a trivial trip for him to make. I wanted to find a true Baja experience and Baja Ride did not disappoint.įab picked me up at my hotel and brought. I hope to return soon to see my new friends. Thank you Fab for an experience I will never forget. We raced an afternoon storm back to BajaRide to complete the trip. The rest of the ride included a multitude of terrain all within my ability. Once at the coast, we found a table at a cool beachfront restaurant for an authentic meal. We rode from the compound to the coast with a quick water stop in between. You could literally show up in shorts and flip flops and they will outfit you head to toe. Once I met Fab I knew I was in good hands. I made my reservation nervously because I would be alone for this adventure as 2 of my friends backed out. From first inquiry until pick-up at my hotel, Fab was informative and quick to respond to my emails. Let me tell you the rave reviews are real. I found Baja ride on Google and TripAdvisor. I'm a 51yr old avid Street bike rider but haven't been on a dirt.
