San Felipe to Mike's Sky Ranch
I have a home in San Felipe and a few of my Gringo friends want to do a dirt bike ride to or from Mike's sky ranch and San Felipe.
I have the new Baja Almanac, but really un-sure what the best advise is for them
I am not going, but have a 4 wheel drive vehicle to drop them off on the road to Ensenada so they can make the trip
Any suggestions?
Should they go with a large group or is it ok for 2 gringos to go it alone.
Thanks
PS This has DK written all over it

Well a HUGE group of off roaders came to our ranch via Mikes (fixing the road all the way) so it can be done! Just be prepared for a bit of water!
I'd go in a group!
Check out the pics:

Pretty simple ride if they are just riding in and out from hwy3 at Mike's turn off. About 40-45 miles roundtrip. If they are staying over night it's
about $45 per person with dinner and breakfast included. If they stay the night it will be cold but they have kerosene heaters in the rooms or they
did the last time I spent the night. They shut off the generator around 10pm maybe sooner depending on how many guess are drinking at the bar.
