I'll donate my mechanic skills and bring my own tools. Just provide some Pacifico and I'm good to go.

I'll put $100 on motoged for the win as well.

I have hauled gas and gear for Ged before, and would be glad to do it again! I would also look forward to meeting JZ and his boys, and can't think of a better place to do it.

This could be the start of something cool, a Nomad single track ride with truck support! I'm in... Would be cool to put faces with some of the names. We could do something like ten days and have people join in as they can along the way? End the whole thing some place where others could drive to ( non riders ) for dinner..... I retire in ten months, I'm game..

For sure I would support with several dump cams. My issue is where can a Jeep go to provide any help? Obviously I can't drive on a single track. However I am a pretty good hiker.

The ride ends near arguably the prettiest bays on the Pacific coast of Baja: Cono, Santa Maria, and Punta Lobos. All are beautiful gems.

Trucks can easily get there on the parallel track to the North. Even two wheel drives can get there from the South coming up from Santa Rosalitia.

A support truck wouldn't need to do any serious offroading, you can plan gas stops off of the highway most times. As JZ said, depending on the direction you run some of the trails you can end on a beach or in a town. Most rides we do are unsupported so we have the gas range to get where we need.

With a support truck you can bring more then a backpack ( that's how we travel for 10-15 days) with tools, snacks and water. Always nice to bring the spare set or wheels with fresh tires and moose inserts. Ice chest with beer, water and food. Also the sag wagon can secure rooms long before the riders show up.

We usually give the driver $200-300 per rider to put in the bill envelope to take care of all of the supplies and rooms to make things easier, just refill as needed. This way the driver isn't trying to keep tab's on every dollar they spend to get reimbursed later. Sounds like it could be a good time for sure.

My time frame is wide open, but my next trip will be after I have received a course of vaccine treatment! That probably is an even more of a requirement before the US and Canada borders will allow non-essential travel.
