DMT - Day minus 79

Where is the time going? It seemed like it was near infinity and now it seems to be nearer the end.

Not that I've been sitting on my butt all of the time. Jason and Erika are plotting trails and points of interest in Death Valley. My job is to lay out routes through Baja. 

Here's part of my plan. It starts at Coco's Corner where we can camp out for the night and then heads south past the Calamajué ruins. An exciting part of this is that it is often part of the Baja 1000 race route. We'll get to play Ricky Racer!

The dashed lines are "easy". Check out the little dotted line that drops down from the #1 at the edge of the map. That's where we earn our Death March badges.

Time to get back to work - time is running low!

Where it all started

I ran into this clip about the Cotati Raceway. That was the first track I was at in the mid-60s. The American Federation of Motorcycles (AFM) was just starting. When not racing we met at the Rose and Thistle (possibly The Rose and Crown), a pub on California St near Van Ness in San Francisco. Good times!

DMT - Day minus 97

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

It's the year of the Pig and that's pretty much how I feel. Over weight and under muscled. Not the best way to start a new adventure.

I've planned out an exercise program that works out with a medicine ball and dumb bells. The goal is not just strength but endurance as well. Both will be required in the heat of the desert.

I don't have any links of super training sites and I'm certainly not going to post pictures of my puny body. This is just a public notice of my intentions to bolster my resolve.I will add more in the future on my progress.

Note: Erika recommends Erika Hurst strength training. It's targeted for women but there is a lot of good advice for everyone.
