TL;DR – Our race team preran for a week, ate tacos, and our main rider Matt rode his XR650R 446.5 miles and finished the race in approx 13 hours 45 min.
This year we set out with just one goal, to safely finish the Baja 500, and “we” did!
This is all the work of my uncle Stuart, for years we’ve been going down to watch the races (250/500/1000), and for a few years now we’ve been riding dirt bikes, so last year he got a wild hair to enter the 500. Last year didn’t go well, but it was a very valuable learning experience. This year would be different.
We packed up and rolled down Sunday morning, June 1st, to our favorite hotel a 2 miles before Ensenada.
Monday afternoon six of us preran the first section from Ojos Negros thru Uruapan to Santo Tomas.
Me - WR250, My bother - WR450, Hunt - WR400, Rickard - Big Wheel Honda 200, Gary - Honda Rancher Quad, and our main rider Matt on a stock 97 XR600R (which he pre-ran the entire course on).
My 2008 WR250f, I love this bike!!!!!!!!!
