Pre rode the summit, san felipe and mikes loops. Ate a bad taco and am paying the price. Mexican food is good I just can't eat it in Mexico. Getting close!

Hey Gary... saw your bike at the finish... I came in shortly after you on a team bike (284x)... wanted to say hi but you were already gone. Congrats, that was a tough course.

We were there waiting for GBarr at the Finish (well, sorta). All he wanted at the finish was to lay on the ground.

While I still think the old boy is a stud it was great to see him with a new respect for Baja. After he raced the Baja 500 that was semi-easy terrain his eyes were opened to how crappy and not fun Baja terrain can be, and he admitted it.

Mr. Griswald is A-1 in my book (now if he'd just stop asking such goofy questions and trust more of us...).
Congrats Gary! :thumbsup:

Awesome job Gary. It was great meeting you down there. I stopped by your van in San Matias and chatted with a couple folks in there... you 'Bama folks are just too darn nice.

Near Odessa tx. Incredible experience. I'll post a race report mon.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words. My pit crew could not understand how all these people knew who they were.

Great job Gary, are you giving thanks to the power of the X90, or just determination:thumbsup:

The drive back is probably worse than the race.
How did you feel about your KTM???

Made it to miss. Both the Ktm and the p90x worked. No regrets. Well one, I wish I had remembered to pick up my dump tanks from baja pits. It did give us time to go to the San Diego zoo. Problem is now most everthing seems boring now. Back to life.
