The Route

Baja Divide

 

My current adventure is biking the Baja divide with 3 friends.  We start in San Diego and end in La Paz after first heading to the tip of Baja.  We are riding bikes designed for sand and dirt with wide 3″ tires.   Approximately 90 percent of the route is off road with   +91,636 ft  of elevation over the 1700 miles.
