Next Summer’s Adventure – The Vuelta.
Vuelta a Baja road ride and vacation... for fun!
I know… I’m still preparing for the trip to Aconcagua, and I’ve already started thinking about my next adventure. Well, to celebrate the kickoff of the Tour de France this weekend, I have started the Vuelta a Baja site – http://vueltaabaja.com/. The goal is to have a tour style road ride from Tijuana to Cabo San Lucas. I have just started working through the itinerary but it looks like it will be 6-7 days riding, then 5 days in Cabo relaxing, then two days driving back.Â
The best thing I think about the concept of the vuelta is that it allows serious riders, non-serious riders, and plain old vacationers to have a great trip. The cyclists will take off from the stage starting point in the morning with a support car following, and the lead car taking off to spot any issues with the road where we may need to dismount for a distance. Anyone can ride one day and skip the next (or the rest), or a partial day. The stage starting and ending points will be located to provide a good day’s ride out on the open road, and will avoid dangerous city areas or hazerdous areas of road.
Anyhow, I’ve just started working on the plans for the Vuelta, and hope it will come together. I think it could be a great experience and a great time for everyone.
