Well guys seem like I see this in just about every thread I have looked at so it is my turn now. Had a bit of a set back on the training so I am going to have to take a bit of time off the bike. I had a bit of a get off on a training ride and got a class two separation on my left shoulder. The doc tells me that I should be good to go for our pre ride end of July so lets just see if the old body will heal in time for it.

Ouch, man that sucks. Hope you heal up quickly. In the meantime do what you can to prepare so you can focus on riding once you have healed.

All I can do is keep running right now, I hope that I will be able to do more soon. When I get back home I will keep working on the bike, and the training bike to make sure they are going to be ready for our pre ride in Aug. The doc is telling me that i am healing quick so that is the good news.

Are you meaning you're going to ride some in Baja in August?
If so I'd have some suggestions.

Hey Tim,

I met you at the m1k, I was the guy on the 888 bike with Allan.

We are gonna keep them on the pacific side, maybe some night riding to keep from cooking. None of these guys have been to baja, figured hot baja is better than no baja.

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks,
Brett

Looks like August 8th from the email traffic I received today. And we are planning some early morning riding (cooler) and afternoon riding on the Pacific side.

No getting around the heat though in August. Just have to suck it up and stay hydrated.

Hydration is the key, but I don't sweat I leak

The proper term is "suck it up Cupcake"

Get a really bright tail light.

Liked you on FB. I'll keep an eye out for you guys at the 1k.

+100 on the bright tail light. We actually have a few ideas for that as well as a few reflector tricks we came up with during our Mexican 1000 race. Our riders will be seen!!

..............Even if our jerseys are sporting a little bit of camouflage. If you guys haven't seen the team rider jerseys and team pit shirts you have to visit our site. They are military service inspired and look awesome. Kudos to the boys for coming up with a totally unique look. These are the coolest Klim jerseys ever!
