I never thought I would ever get to ride a motorcycle in Baja but I did and it was super fun! The owner, Fabricio, quickly returned my inquiry about riding via WhatsApp. We figured out which day and for how long and when it was time, he picked me up at the resort where I was staying and we took off back to his business. All of the bikes there looked to be in great condition and the Honda CRF 250 that I rode was no different. The same is true with the equipment I used. I told him that I didn’t have much experience in sand and he kept the pace at a rate that was faster than I was used to and I enjoyed it! It gave me confidence to know that I can navigate sandy roads more quickly than I had been. The roads were not technical at all, other than being sandy. We road through ranches and past cows and horses and eventually made it to the ocean where a hotel and restaurant sit in the middle of what felt to be Nowhere! He made sure I stayed hydrated and after a little break, we took off to finish the ride through 4 miles of thicker sandy roads. By that time I felt good about riding in sand! If you do any of his tours, the less you bring the better. They supply a small backpack for your water and phone and they do have lockers for anything extra. I had a great time!
