Super cool to read this. You captured it welI. I just finished Yuma AZ to Cabo San Lucas a few weeks ago. 1,007 miles in 9.5 days. Went through San Felipe on the highway 5. Then met up with highway 1. Pushed it pretty hard but still went to a hot spring right next to the Sea of Cortez, swam a few places at Bahia Concepcion, saw a friend in Todos. Took a near zero day in Loreto (35km). That was lux! Surprised how light traffic was overall. No issues. Nice people. One car pulled up pacing me and the driver's young daughter handed me a banana. Such a stellar experience. Solo, self supported with some camping (2 nights out otherwise cheap motels). After big days I just needed a bed and shower. No guilt, no shame. Got into Cabo mid day and went straight to bus station and bussed out within half hour. Just not a fan of Cabo. But I spent a night in La Paz and then bussed up to Loreto to meet where we spent a week having a somewhat more mainstream vacation. But still rode to San Javier. Wow. Congrats on your trip through I know it was 11 years ago! A lifelong memory and amazing accomplishment.

@Mtn-Goat-13: ah ICP. Gotcha. What's effing hysterical?

@matyk: hey, I don't know what juggalo means. But my solution to Not buying into trends is buying cheap, basic Dickies shorts and wearing a chamois under. Usually a wool t shirt or tech shirt as a base. Works for me.

@matyk: no it doesn't. It is much different. It is undeniably over the top bizarre. But hey some folks will like it and buy it and to each their own. Is your comment just your way of saying you don't like today's mountain bike clothing or that you don't like mountain biking? You write as though you're not a mountain biker. Or are you? What clothes do you wear to ride bikes?

I sure don't like this clothing. I love Mike's review. I sure don't like the weird attempt at thinking all mountain bikers should or could even possibly think the same. Pink bike not some freaky cult.
