8 Gal fuel in one day 180 miles,If it was not for a Mexican rancher. In the middle of nowhere with extra gas in back of his truck.We would have had to
leave the Gas Gas 300 there. Even after the Drama he still had to bum gas from our Xrs to get back.So he used over 8 gal fuel that day. |
It's a 250, which gets better gas mileage than the 300. Suppose to get 80+ miles per tank with hard riding.
My son got the 250 xc-f which is a 4-stroke. It's holds less gas though.
Going to go ride them tomorrow for the first time.
We always ride with a chase truck in Baja carrying gas and beer.

I will have my trip report finished soon if that helps you plan your run. What I found is the coast road between Canoas and Faro San José should be
done with a 4x4 support vehicle or loop around via Hwy 1 to avoid the bad sections. I can make a map that points out the 4x4 sections for your chase
truck to use.or avoid. The area is a great riding region! I would love to ride in there from a camp spot... maybe if I was younger!?

I wonder if you can go Catavina straight down to San Jose (through the Town Hall camp) in a truck easy enough.
That's the route from the Baja Divide. I'd like to make it to Punta Lobos with a stop at Blanco first and this looks like it could be a shorter route
if it's do-able.

I will work on my next installment before my afternoon appointment, which covers the road from Faro San José south.
Basically, it is a two track/ 'Jeep road' from San José to Punta Cono jcn. which is where the superior dirt highway begins and any car or RV can
drive north to from the Santa Rosalillita highway.
In short, 38 miles of unimproved road from San José to the start of the dirt highway (Cono) that I did not need 4WD on.

Dirt bikes are a big help to the dodgers, padres, etc. with the Giants ace, Madison Bumgardner taking a spill on a bike and hurting his shoulder! Go
Giants!
