BARF Adventure Riders know the BARF Rally season really starts in January:
BARF Baja 2020 - Want to join us? Here is how?

the plated-dirt-bike contingent leaves in a week, so the KLR krew—needing a good head start—is leaving to ride down tomorrow, attempting to meet-up with the better, faster riders in Bahia de los Angeles on 1/26.

link to my SPOT device, if anyone wants to see how that plan works out ... :laughing:facepalm
(link should be live when I turn my SPOT on, tomorrow)

Baja is a wonderful place to ride to in January (if the weather cooperates), with 10,000 ft mountains and a beautiful desert that sweeps down to meet the sea.

more or less the planned route, only we may stay in the mountains in Baja, and head down the Pacific side:

Here's a rough map of our route south ...

Google says it's 1029 miles and 21 hours of riding to Bahia de los Angeles ...

or maybe we’ll try to stay low:

in any event, there seem to be five BARF Rallies later in the year, each of which can be arrived at on some ADV-style roads, with a bit of planning ...

Safe travels John. Looking forward to pictures and stories.
 
See you guy in BOLA! Have a great ride!
 
Following, full of envy but happy for your escape.
 
Looks like you're at the border! Have fun!!
 
John, sleeping at the Oasis tonight in Mexico! Sure is fun to watch his spot! Makes me wonder why I'm sitting here working and not riding with him.
