 Good morning! Whoa, my hair looks crazy. I had no idea. Check it out. Beachfront property. There's the moon. Still out. Good morning ducks. Alright, I am all geared up, ready to go, and today I'm really excited. I have a special guest coming with me. It's Mira! What's up, buddy? Yeah, let's do it, guys. So where are we off to today, do you know? I think we're trying to, well we're going to the Pacific Coast today, hoping to get to Eldatio, which is a long day on the Baja, but we'll see where we get. Yeah, supposedly we're going to be in an ancient lake bed, it'll be wide open, the wind's going to be at our tail, it's going to blow us all the way there. No crashes, no whammies, no flaties! I've kind of a knowing to travel with, but you'll get used to it. This is putting a really big smile on my face. I've ridden bikes with a lot of people, but I have never ridden with a dog. This is going to be fun. Those dogs aren't as friendly as Mira. You are such a good girl. I'm so glad we're traveling together today. You are so sweet. So the Baja Divide doesn't travel on paved roads very often, but I gotta say I'm really enjoying this one because there's no traffic at all. I think about one or two cars have passed us. I feel like I'm back in Cuba. So nice, nice tranquil Sunday morning with John and Mira and a couple cows over here. We are really in the middle of nowhere. There's not much going on, but I want to take you inside this tienda and show you around. It's pretty impressive the stock they have for being so far out here. They have a whole freezer full of drinks. They've got your forks and knives, which is awesome. The whole rack of flip flops and off-road crux here. They got the Wadachi style here. They even have dog food. So that's good for Mira. All the cleaning equipment. We'll go over here. Look at all these cookies and all this good stuff. They got the cereal, heresy kisses, and I would say most tiendas are like this. They're really well stocked and they take pride in keeping them nice. Look at them even have toys. Last minute birthday presents. They got you covered. Got your double-decker airplane. Of course, there's beans and stuff like that. They also have some local fare here is a bag of dates. That'll keep you regular. I love Mexican candies. Look at these, the paletas. Oh, they have sneakers too. Look at that hill. All right, Mira, we're going up. Time to do your part. Made it to the top. Yay, look at that. You are my new favorite. Watching John and Mira kind of makes me want to be a dog packer. I think it looks pretty fun. Nice to have a little companion with you. Love cycles part two with a doggie. What do you think? There she goes, passing me. And that's when it turns to dirt. Today's been a really nice surprise so far, like 25 miles on a fast paved road. That all ends right here. There's the line right there. It turns into dirt. It looks hard packed though, so it doesn't look too bad. We're heading toward the coast Laguna San Ignacio, famous for whale watching. We're not going to do that, but that's where we're headed. Hi, Mira, did you find some water to play in? This is like salt foam. That's super salty. Mira decided that this is a good place to eat lunch, right Mira? Under these trees. You're such a good dog. Every tree in Baja, every plant is dangerous. There's a spine, so you have to watch out where you sit or where you ride, because you might get one of these in your booty, which is never a good thing. Let's do a little Baja bean cheers. Cheers, buddy. Hey, do you want burritos? Do you eat burritos? You look like you eat burritos. Stick. You want the stick. Oh, you want the stick, don't you? Nice catch. We've ridden like 35 miles already. We're cruising. The terrain has been very easy compared to most Baja terrain, but still we're moving. This little fishing village is way out here, man. I can't imagine living this far away from the world, but I imagine it has its pluses and minuses, right? You don't have to deal with the nonsense of the world. We are now on a really, really flat surface out here on these old lake beds, and the wind is at our back. We are cruising. If we put up a sail, we'd go like 50 miles an hour. We're doing Mira. The goal out here is to really avoid the wet spots. You hit one of those spots, bam, you're hitting mud and you're stopping dead in your tracks. So it's kind of like a game. You just zigzag all over the place, making sure you avoid that right there. Oh, boy, we're going to hit it. Oh, shit. Sorry. Hey, buddy. Although she goes straight for a stick. What you didn't see is I'm riding along here, and I hit this like quicksand, so slippery, and I just hit the deck. Came out of nowhere. Wow, it is so slippery. Look at that. Ba-ha, one, Ryan, zero. Here's my bite. Cating ice, skating ice, skating ice. Hey, bud, I'm okay. Don't you worry about me. I'm okay. Appreciate it. I appreciate you taking good care of me, bud. Yeah. She's a cattle dog. Buddy, good job. You did a good job hurting those little cows. In the area now, these poles, and from far away, we had no idea what they were. Big nest for birds, and John thinks they're ospreys. We have gone 65 miles. How many kilometers is that? For all you Canadians and other people around the world, how many kilometers? 106. 106. Sounds better than 65. Anyway, we're going another five miles to a little town called El Batil, and it's going to be good to be done. This has been a long day. This might be some of the dreamiest bike riding I've had in a long time. The surface is just super smooth. The tires are singing. They're so happy. The sun is low on the horizon. It's nice and cool. It's beautiful. You can smell the ocean, a little bit of salt in the air. We started asking around if there's a restaurant, and this woman's like, yeah, you can come over. I'll make you dinner. So here we are. Pretty exciting. John, we just rode 71 miles. Nice. Good job, my man. How was your day on the trail? You're so cute. You did such a good job chasing those cows. You did such a good job. This is kind of a fun way to end the day in a nice little fishing village. This dog right here scares me. Little Pippo with scars all over its face. You're troubled, but I know you're troubled. Look at that service. That was so fast. This is so good. It is so good. I am very happy. All right, now we're going to go find a spot to camp because the sun is going down and I'm cold. Yeah, I like your stick, bud. That's a good one. Lead the way. Go, Mira, go. We are being treated to a beautiful sunset. I don't know if you can see it, but it is very, very nice. It is a Sunday evening. Our bellies are full of yummy food, healthy food, and we had a nice long day on the bikes.
