NORTHERN BAJA ADVENTURE
Take an adventure and explore northern Baja in Mexico. This 8-day all-paved motorcycle ride features the fantastic back roads of southern California, the desert solitude of Catavina, and an epic sunrise over the Sea of Cortez in Bahia de Los Angeles.

Wanna take a break from it all and enjoy warmer temperatures while experiencing great fresh food and genuine hospitality from friendly locals? If the answer is YES, then join us for an adventure that puts FUN at the top of the list.
