Had a chance to do some limited riding while staying in Los Barriles, about
60 miles north of Cabo San Lucas. I've done a bit of desert riding before,
but it was mostly coastal sandy track stuff. This was a sweet combination
of dirt/rock singletrack with a fair amount of elevation change, and the
normal desert penalties for error if you stray off the narrow trails.

Nice stuff. I understand there are many miles of trails close to town in
the surrounding hills, although we did only a couple of trail variations.
Best to ride early morning even at this time of year, it got pretty hot by
10 am. The moderate trails we rode were actually pretty gnarley for an
intermediate rider like me. Lots of deep rain wash ruts combined with loose
rocks from baby-head to medicine-ball size. Certainly enough to keep us
very entertained without being life-threatening. The paved road and traffic
from Los Barriles to the trailheads is probably the most dangerous part of
the ride.

So if you're into MTBiking along with windsurfing or deep sea fishing,
here's a spot where you can do many things. Decent hardtails available for
rental from the Vela operation at Playa del Sol hotel near the south end of
town.

Wow, that's much more info than that dweeb Enchilada Jim Lame ever
posted about riding on the Baja Peninsula. Then again, all he did was
argue with vandamnan, being another pointless dumbass.
