Solo Solo 2011 <Vegas to Reno> <Baja 1000> – Slow Man Racing for a charity

If you want to get together with some locals we may be meeting at my place for a couple of hours.

Details are here

Thanks to all of the people and companies that have helped me out. As mentioned before V2R:

Warp9, LocalHeroMX, Wolfsnout, and Konflict Motorsports

Since V2R I've added a few companies:

Sidi - I finally replaced my worn out Sidi's with a new pair and I'm glad I did. They have a great support program.

MSR - I've been wearing a lot of MSR stuff since the late 90s. Their gear is good, but the MSR "Hard Parts" I like just as much. MSR also does a fantastic job of supporting riders who support them.

Highwaydirtbikes - Awesome American made, small business stuff. I'm happy when my dollars go Paul's way. What more can be said.


Some inmates came through with some stickers to add to my pile. My book of notes, info, etc. is almost ready to go.


The garage is a mess after finishing up the race bike, but the packing has started. Things looked a little better than this at the end of the evening.


Bike is done. Ready to be loaded. Yes - That is snow on the ground behind the bike.



And as promised I got the names of the people who contributed to the YWCA on the bike. You're going along for the ride...thanks.


Hey Ho, Let's Go!

She looks gorgeous Phil, nice job!

Best of luck, we're all cheering for 267X!

My daughter watches the new Cat In The Hat on PBS every day, and your title brought this song immediately to my head! And how appropriate too!

pilo, best of luck to you, family (are they coming?), and friends, I'll be watching your spot on my phone all day Thursday!

Good luck and Godspeed, Phil. Stay focused on the course and watch those booby traps on race day. Again, good luck!

Best wishes for a safe and fun race Phil, YOU CAN DO IT!

Update before the race.

We preran some the past few days and had a great time. Phil is riding really well and is very relaxed. We did the last prep of the bke today, went over our plan and are heading to bed.


Bike is ready, Phil is ready, chase crew is ready. Lets get this going.

Tell him to take it easy .. sleep a half hour or hour if needed.. and finish that for all of us! I hope i wll see you down there in May..

Go Phil!

Looks like he is at RM65 at 9:10.

thx........looks like he's making good progress................

RM 120 at 10:50

RM 170 at 12:20

Phil, when you get back and read this, remember, we have 8" of new snow here in Wyoming. I think I should be in Baja!

RM 220 at 2:30pm

Phil Walker is making his dreams come true.

This is awesome. What time is sunset right now in the Baja region?

Sunset in Ensenada is 4:45pm today.

Pacific Time = Ensenada Time

And I've been watching the http://www.race-dezert.com/home/2011-score-baja-1000-live-coverage site......the trophy trucks had quite a delay in their starts but they are coming......stay the course Phil......and stay out of their way........

BTW, I haven't been able to find an active feed for the Weatherman.....has anybody else?

Phil Walker, quiet and unassuming, without bravado and fanfare, has reached RM 290... at 5:15pm

The TT are at RM 250 and closing.

Riding in the dark, no easy on a trail, must be super hard during a race.
