Anyone thought of Dual Sport Ride to Cabo? Yea, something like start in
Tecate and get to Cabo in like 4 nights/5 Days. Then stay in Cabo a couple of nights and take about 3 days to get back to Tecate. About 8-9 nights total. See the whole pennisula. Are there others interested in doing this. Doing all asphalt/dirt roads?

I'm interested. check the www.advrider.com board. Great place to organize rides and meet up with riders.

I checked and nothing on any rides to Cabo or even in Mexico. Anyone else maybe interested in a ride from Tecate to Cabo and back. I'm thinking maybe in late September. Dual Sport, no support truck, carry all essentials on bike. Maybe like 6-8 riders. We can do about 200 miles a day. We can plan this thing out and make it happen if we get the response.

Hey: I'm not up for a trip this year, but I've done the Baja the past two years. I've crossed at Tecate and Mexicali. If you need info and recommendations, drop me a line. I'd be glad to help.

Do a search......... there are plenty of trip reports from guys who have done this exact same route.
Check the regional forums and OUTER SPACE.

I guess it depends on how much asphalt you are planning to do.
When we ride to Cabo we generally start from Ensenada because the trip is long enough as it is (doing Tecate would add a few miles) and getting the tourist visas is easier going thru TJ.
We go one-way to Cabo and usually end up at about 1300 to 1450 miles.
We do it with either 8 or 9 riding days to reach Cabo.
Our total amount of asphalt is usually pushing 200 mi.
Our mileage on easy gravel dual-sport type dirt roads seems endless.
We mix in quite a bit of really rough old beat up dirt roads and also some pretty gnarly single-track sections (if the group is up for it).
IMO you could get to Cabo in 5 riding days, with a VERY solid group of 7 riders (meaning you can't have laggers, crashers, or bike problems), but you'd be missing a LOT of the best Baja has to offer.
What's the rush?? Take more time and zig-zag more going South, check things out, stay at really great night stops, eat better food, spend more time on the dirt,,,, enjoy it, don't rush it!!!

Check out www.wideopenbaja.com it is a company that does tours to and from in Dune Buggies. I know that is not what you are looking for, but there is a lot of information on the website including maps and such.

What was the longest distance you had between gas stations. I am pretty familiar with baja but never really paid attention as I have a 37 gallon tank in my truck. Also I know that sometimes the gas stations just arent in business anymore. I have a yz426 and the biggest tank I can get looks to be a 3.4 or so. With the Baja Designs side tank that is just under 5 gallons. Wondering if I should go with an xr650. I had one in the past, a bit big for me but you can't beat the range. thanks for your thoughts
