Awesome adventure 6-20-9


We woke up at 530am 6-20-9 Saturday in Ensenada Starting time for us was at 9am in Ojos Negros. We got to Ojos at 8am and blasted out at 9am as scheduled rolled over in Jamau almost got out of the race if it werent for some locals always willing to lend a hand got back on all fours and got to check point in valle de trinidad. Had to Restart in San matias by Mikes sky ranch entrance i guess it was an hr lay over dont know why they do this but i was glad to. Some nuts were loose in the axles which we tighten up. Went down the grade to San Felipe almost flipped over about 20xs and i swear there must have been ten million whoopies mostly known as rolling little hills about 2 to 3 feet high around the time we where blasting by El Dorado rach the tranny started to explode but thank God it was only gears 3 and 4 we finished on 1st and 2nd gears only got to the finish line around 215pm in front of Petes camp ground; in the middle of San Felipe and ran to the beach jumped in the water and celebrated with my buddies. If the video doesnt show im sorry just go to youtube.com and youll taste a little bit of what i experienced yesterday cannt wait to do it again.
