Chubasco Season Anyone?


The village is quiet with the threat of Hurricanes bearing down on Baja, we get many concerned friends and family calling/ emailing/ /FB / texting requesting that we check on their casita's, palapas, yards and anything that can wash away. As we sit in the middle of our rainy season just missing hurricane Norbert, but very happy to get 5" of rain and a total of 8" for the season so far most would be happy with this amount of rain for Baja. But no, now we have another storm tracking our way and in my opinion it's probably not the last! We will wait prepare and yes keep taking worried communication from those who always think its perfect here well at least for 10 months out of the year.

Did I mention I love to get dirty! No, not the work on your car dirty of course I mean throwing some mud with a KTM 450 between my legs! The rain and dirt is awesome thus making riding now the perfect time to put those nobbies to work and rip it up. Although this awesome time of year seems to be a secret with just us few locals and serveral I have talked into coming during this time frame. It's been a blast! I guess I will continue to be selfish and enjoy the ride, but really it is something serious riders should consider, hmmm wet sand & dirt, green lush mountains, KTM motorcycles, yes I am a lucky guy!

Good rain makes everything happy

Race Report! We are still in the summer rest with the next race coming in the next weeks hurricane depending. After the last debacle I was thinking that I would be in attack mode - points and having to win the last 2 races. I say we were quite surprised when notified I was tied for 1st with Luis Diaz (current 1x) and our new friend Gaddo with Araben only 1 point behind so of course there is plenty of drama and the young studs are in the gym and training hard to keep an ol' dog from winning the championship! I say let it roll.
