Day Two may have been more downhill but it was no walk in the park! We complete almost double the miles of our first day on the bikes, yet encounter much warmer conditions that lead to muscle cramps, a few minor crashes and more sand round out another tough day as we approach the big mountains between us and the pacific ocean.

The Baja Divide may be one of the hardest bikepacking routes in the world. Last year, Eric Archer and I completed most of the route from San Diego California to the Southern part of the East Cape just South of La Paz Baja California Sur. This year we decided to pick up where we left off and complete the Cape Loop- a 250 mile loop, off pavement and often through very remote sections of beautiful Baja Mexico.

Join us on this adventure as we explore the Southern tip of the Baja Peninsula.

MY NAME IS MICHAEL LADDEN:

After visiting more than 120 countries on five continents I made the bold decision to sell all of my possessions and become a full time nomad more than four years ago. Currently, I am traveling in my self built, ex-army overland expedition truck, complete with a KTM motorbike, bicycles, kayak, a Onewheel and all of the essentials needed to explore this incredible planet we call home. Join me, as I share my adventures and stories from around the world.
