Baja Tours advice- 5 day Ensenada to Loreto

Ride your motorcycle a lot over the summer so you are in "riding shape" for your Baja trip.

Put bibs in front and rear. Gear your bike down, take some type if soft saddlebags. GPS is nice so you can document your trip. Large capacity hydration pack. Sunscreen. communication system like Cardo. Didn't think I would want to talk to my buddies but it turned out to be a cool addition. Split tools between all riders for all bikes. Go pro and camera. Big tank and take fuel filter or put on bike. LED helmet light. Extra pair of gloves. first aid kit. Extra levers. duct tape, paracord. You can look on advrider.com and get more info than you want. Sounds like a hoot. Have fun and don't forget to stop and take pics.

Don't ride in the dust. If you're in eating dust; you're following too close. By that token, you shouldn't need Roll Offs.

I wear a t-shirt under an enduro jacket that has removable sleeves. Unzip everything (but keep the sleeves on) during the day. You'll be much happier in the bushes with jacket sleeves instead of tearing your jersey. Zip up as it cools off in the evening.

Take everything in; it's frigging beautiful. You won't be hammering. It's about good trails and enjoying it! Be VERY respectful of the land owners. For major bonus points, bring a bunch of pairs of work gloves and hand them to ranchers you might meet. This will be MUCH appreciated.

You're using his bikes, right? If not; put in Bib inserts and make sure you have a good skid plate and chain guide. The Honda chain guides in particular are so weak they get torn off and you won't even feel it.

Hydrate well. Don't get blasted at night.
