San Diego - Cabo San Lucas and back, 31May-6June

[Vladi]

Hi,
I’ll be traveling on 08 KLR650 (two up) from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas; departing 31st of May and returning through Tecate on 6th of June. The route though Baja is not certain, however, mainly on roads. If anyone is going the same way, we would not mind sharing a part of the ride.

You wanna crank out that ride in that short a period of time? Why bother? There are so many things to see in Baja that if you're going to go, take your time. I would say three weeks. There is this great cut off that goes to a high desert town called San Francisco something or other that is a day in and of itself. Look on a good baja map and don't cut yourself short. We're planning a trip from San Francisco to Costa Rica with two months in mind. Besides, you never know what's gonna happen....and get the crappy stock seat changed or you'll be sorry. Been there, done that on a KLR 650.

Agree with Dwight

Shortest highway route San Diego - Cabos is approx 1700 km or 1000 miles. 6 days there and back approx 570 km 330 mile / day. The highways good and there are miles of open stretches, but also miles of winding roads futher south as it follow thre coast, where your mileage per day will be down.

Sierra San Francesco is about half way down, but the oasis at San Ingnacio is also good as a cut off point.
