<\/p>\n“Tough as Nails” could be an alternative title for this blog, as it is about Harrison Ford bicycling from Tijuana to Cabo San Lucas, a distance of roughly 1000 miles across deserts, over more than a few fairly steep and long climbs through Baja’s mountains, and widely varying weather conditions.\u00a0 I’ve encountered a few other folks bicycling the length of Baja on my motorcycle rides, and I’ve always been in awe of such an undertaking.\u00a0 TJ to Cabo.\u00a0 On a bicycle.\u00a0 Color me seriously impressed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another cool fact is that Ford is 78 years old.\u00a0 He’s got 8 years on me, but even when I was in my prime, I doubt I could have accomplished this ride.\u00a0 Ford’s bike, judging by the frame’s headbadge, is a Colnago, a very high end Italian roadbike.<\/p>\n

I’ve bicycled bit in Baja, having ridden the annual Rosarito Beach to Ensenada ride several times.\u00a0 That’s a 50-mile ride along the ocean and up in the mountains, and I’d like to do it again someday.\u00a0 But TJ to Baja…man, that’s impressive.<\/p>\n
Mr. Ford will be completing his ride about the same time as you read this blog.\u00a0 Now I’m wondering:\u00a0 What would it take to organize a bicycle ride like this?\u00a0 Who could I get to go with me?\u00a0 What would Gresh or Baja John look like in Spandex?<\/p>\n
Heading into Baja?\u00a0 Get your Baja insurance here!<\/p>\n
