Brian and Mulley ride Baja

[Brian A]

Sounds like you had a great trip and a grand adventure. Hope the pinky healed up well... Thanks for sharing the ride with us. I enjoyed reading it all.

Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Fact is, the angry pinkie is being very contrary. Far more of a matter to contend with than I ever expected.
It is, I realize, just a pinkie. But it is doing its best to pay me back in spades for the misfortune I dealt it.

I remain convinced it heard me, early on, refer to it as being "just a pinkie".  Upon hearing my less than flattering comment, I think the pinkie was insulted and took issue with my assessment of its relative importance in the bigger picture.  The pinkie then decided to make a point, whereupon it said to its neighboring fingers "Hey guys, watch this."

Great ride report and really awesome trip.  A good friend did a Baja trip a few years ago and told me about it but there is nothing like one of your ride reports to really see what it's like.

As for your next trip, I lived in Maine for 4 years.  Some great scenery there.  I'll be glad to share some of my favorite places to ride.

And just like that the journey is over.  :'(

Man what great trip. There is just so much that can put into a ride report without overloading it. Brian does a great job of staying focused and appealing to the reader. It's always interesting to see what he finds important or memorable vs how I remember it. Two people riding side by side. We literally did almost everything together for 7 days and how we remember things is so different. I find that fascinating.

There's also stuff that's better told over a beer summit than in writing. The "colorful" stuff.

I've haven't even looked at my pics or videos yet. It's been over a month now. I guess it's time. I also have Captain Kirk's videos from his rear facing GoPro. If only I knew someone that could edit them into a nice little film.

Before, when I thought of Baja, this is what I imagined...



Thank you for showing us all of the various types of terrain, landscapes, towns, people, etc.!

I'm with Glenn. That picture is gold. Great report Brian. Let me know if you need help corralling that ornery pinkie ;)

Thanks for the compliments and feedback.

If I was to say "It was a fun trip." that would be to speak of fun in the abstract. Doing ride reports gives me a chance to take fun from the abstract to "the real stuff."

As Mulley mentioned there was a lot of stuff that was left out. There always is. But never anything of great importance or anything that would change the story.

I try to walk the tight rope and keep a balance: enough stuff and fluff to (hopefully) keep it interesting but with an awareness that venturing off into the weeds and trying to recount all the details of every day could turn it into a boring read.

So thanks again. I appreciate knowing you guys enjoyed following along.
