Making my way South!!!
 
My name is Fletch and I am 27, I am doing a two year RTW.

I will be leaving Colorado Saturday the 5th of November, crossing into Baja @ Tecate on the 7th and will be at a wedding near Cabo through the 12th. I will catch the ferry to mainland on the 13th and be on my way taking the Pacific Coast down to Chile and then over to Argentina. Then Shipping over to South Africa sometime in April-May.
I will be taking my time Staging (cooking internships) along the way. I am very flexible with where I am going can be persuaded to leave the coast for some rad adventures. Up for anything will be camping and staying at a few hostels as well.
Would be awesome to hook up with other riders who are easy going and are down for some good times and awesome riding.

Hit me up
Would also be down for a group get together as well.

Hey Fletch,

Have you thought about going down the east side of Baja then crossing over to the highway?

It includes a rough as hell dirt road, but you get to see more of Baja and potentially cross at a very quiet crossing.

Can be windy in the north, but it only gets better from there. Perfect pavement till it runs out though (and it does abruptly!). Try hitting that at night doing around 100. I think some of us were airborn...

Either way, if you aren't worried about some gravel, sand, and big rocks on the road you can stop at some great Baja locations like Alfonsinia's (sp), Coco's corner, etc. Might even shave some distance.

Will be leaving on the 18th of october from Montreal all the way down to Ushuaia. My routing in Mexico will be different then yours but we might bump in each other after down the road. :mchappy:

Hi all,

Me and my f650 are flying to Bogota on 1st November from London. Probably there a little earlier than all of you, but will be hanging around Columbia for 3 weeks or so while I try to learn some Spanish.

If any of you will be there around the same time, would be great to meet up for some :scooter: and bier

Cheers,
Joe
