Baja Riding Partner Wanted

Hi, I live in Oceanside California and am wanting to do some riding in Baja. The first trip I was thinking would be Tijuana to Ensenada (65 miles) and taking a bus back up. I am a little nervous about riding alone so I was wondering if anyone else wanted to do the same type of thing.

I'm a 37 year old guy and my average speed on a trip this length is normally about 14.5 mph (computer average speed including everything except full stops). I speak almost no Spanish, but I'm not worried about that too much. Just thought two people are safer than one.

I will be riding down the Baja Peninsula in the month of March. I am an experienced cyclist, but making a comeback from cancer, so I would appreciate another rider for part of the trip. You might search for my listing in the Thorn Tree Forum (Lonely Planet) under Travel Companions/Mexico and the keyword tag cycling.

You will have to ride slower than 14.5 for me. But if you are fully loaded, you will need to. You can take a bus back to the border from almost anywhere down the peninsula. I am excited about getting to Bahia de los Angeles.
