the google route map in the middle of the page shows roads not on my National Geographic map.
Example-  They have a route east of El Arco, on the other side of the mountains.

Surprised to see the Baja 1000 race on the bicycle tracker page.

Maybe trackleaders is not just for bicycles anymore.

It has always been for tracking multiple sports. Go to the "portfolio" page and you'll see Air Races, Canoe races and several years of Baja

Oldest rider = 70.  Think he said his name was Lee, from White Horse, Yukon.
6/10 ride a Surly on the Baja DIvide.
7/10 ride on 29+ 3.0 tires.  My 29 x 2.6 seem to be the thinnest out there.
8/10 have a Brooks saddle.  I don?t know why.
1/10 have drop bars.  I did not like them, until I rode a few hundred miles north and into the wind on Mex 1.  

In the old days I would never see another rider on the back roads.  But would see groups riding down Mex 1 every day or two.
This year I saw 1 rider with panniers on Mex 1 and 10 or more riding the gravel roads.

Baja Divide cerado para covid 19,
not.

The migration guy noticed that I had cleaned nearly all the dust off my bike, and just waved me through.





Worst day of the year to ride a bike is race day. Nov 17 - 22

Interactive photo map of Baja

Baja season starts the first day of November

Ensenada at the Baja 1,000  every November.

They also have a grand carnival party in Ensenada.
 
The Baja 1,000 is the season finale of off road racing.
At just 38 km off route, why not take a look.




Ensenada is a good place to learn a little history.

Back on the divide, listening to coyotes sing their song.

One of the best Baja videos I've seen.  Stayed awake late to watch it.
