POSTPONED (for extra fun planning 😉) We're kicking off the second TCS riding & culinary event in Baja, and we're excited to bring you the ADV 101 Edition!
TL;DR: www.thecoldstart.org
Make your way to Ensenada on Cinco de Mayo for a full schedule of a rides, cultural experiences, amazing meals (and beer and wine and some mezcal), and informative workshops.
Our crew has a great mix of moto skills and world-traveling history to share with guests along the coastal route from Ensenada > Erendira > San Quintin.
Donni Reddington (of Skool of Moto) is back as our beloved dual-sport guide and riding instructor, while Dusty Wessels (of West38Moto) joins the group as our unmatched ADV guide and Instructor.
Plus, we're offering some fun extra side experiences bookending the event - feel free to inquire for more information!
