Ride needed from Cabo in early March

myfinecycle - 1-7-2013 at 09:47 AM

My husband and I (early 60s) will finish our Baja bicycle ride in Cabo in early March. We are then in need of a ride with our bikes/gear back to either Tijuana, the border or San Diego. We of course can help with driving, fuel, etc. The bus is a possibility if we can't get private transportation, but does anyone know about putting bikes in the bus? Thanks! (I realize it's early to ask about this but I am not sure how much internet access we will have once we hit the road.)

Good luck with your ride....and get prepared for many opinions and suggestions about the risks of bicycling the highway in Baja.

Every large town will likely have an internet connection (if you guys are traveling with your own 'puter)....or public use for a fee.

The bus can carry bicycles underneath in the bins.

Have a safe trip :saint:

Ride back up to the border needed

The two of us will be in Los Cabos in two days, then about the first of March we are looking for a ride back to the border for us and our bikes. We can share driving and help with gas. We are willing to buy a bike rack if you don't have room in your vehicle for the bikes.

welome to bajanomad and good luck with finding a ride .... I am presuming these are bicycles and not motorcycles, right ?

When you have a chance, tell us about your experiences while riding southward.

the ABC bus will easily take the bikes and you...be independent

Nice journal. Looks like you had a fun ride

Ignore the previous posters, someone who likes bikers will come along and give you a ride,...

Hola, cyclists. You probably have already checked or put an ad on 'rideshare' on Craigslist Baja Sur, but if not here it is:

http://bajasur.en.craigslist.com.mx/

I just scanned it briefly, and there are some that may fit your needs. Good luck and glad you made it safely so far! It would be nice to read your evaluation of cycling the highway here on Nomads. Cyclists on the Baja Highway are always a Hot Item!

You shouldn't have too many problems getting a lift north for you and your bikes. There are many pickups making that trip. Most of us are glad for the company and like to hear your trip reports firsthand.

THAT's the Nomad spirit ! !

Good job, Roger.

I am guessing they are still on the road ... it will be very interesting to hear how it went for them .... and maybe see some pics ?

maybe others can chime in here

my attitude I guess shows,,

but at my age I have a real problem giving rides to strangers
young one at that,they might be more inclined to engage in drugs, ( not saying they are ) but driving them back from Cabo to the border and going thru many check points for drugs and weapons, It would make me very nervous, you could find yourself in real trouble very fast, 20 or 30 years ago no problem
