| "The guys at Ride Adventures did a great job helping this trip come together in the midst of Covid-19 conditions. We had a couple guys drop out at the last minute due to Covid complications and there were lots of unknowns, but everyone rolled with the changes and made the best of the situation.
We had an absolute blast. We ended up self-guided with GPS but supported by the RideADV truck and driver (Tyler). Tyler did a great job of helping us get each day lined out, met up with us a couple times during the day, and was always at the hotel to great us upon arrival. He was close enough to give us some confidence and security, but left us to find our own way enough that it added to the adventure in a big way. The route was a great mix of twisty small pavement, desert dirt trail, highway, and gravel road. The route requires some long days and the Africa Twins worked perfect. They offered good wind protection, are comfortable for the long haul, and handled the off-road sections with ease. I do wish they had cruise control for some of the long straight highway sections, though. Ending in Cabo is great… we added a couple extra days to the end of the trip and I highly recommend this for anyone that can do it. After 8 days on the bikes, it was fun to sit on the beach and hang out by the pool for a few days… a perfect way to cap off the trip." |
