Is anyone interested in going on a ride to Rosarita with Redlands Ryders?
Here is the weblink and info:
http://www.meetup.com/Redlands-Ryders/events/166977562/
Puerto Nuevo, the self-described "Lobster Capital of Baja," where you can choose from dozens of restaurants serving up langostas. Pan-fried lobsters (or steamed). According to tradition, 2-3 lobster tails are served with beans, rice and homemade flour tortillas served on the side and a traditional Margarita all for under $20 U.S. dollars! Puerto Nuevo is home to over 30 restaurants all serving the same thing.
Mexico Lobster in Puerto Nuevo Baja California is a long-standing tradition for those visiting from the states and is just a short 15 minute drive continued South from Rosarito (free road). Lot's of tourist visit this place for its famous lobster dining as well as local shopping experiences. Yes, you will need your passport ! (or 2 forms of ID like state issued DL & birth certificate or naturalization certificate reflecting US citizenship)
Everything you see here is served fresh for each individual person... Lot's of food!
This is also suggested in other groups to join the ride. Full gear Hwy riding at moderate/easy pace.
This pic is at my favorite restaurant in Puerto Nuevo. It overlooks the ocean with its beaches and you can occasionally spot dolphins or whales. Also be serenaded by roaming bands playing Mexican music.
Kick Stands up @ 10:15 am. Should be a leisurely FWY drive about an 1 1/2-2 hrs drive depending on traffic conditions. We should arrive to Puerto Nuevo for lunch around Noon. Time in Puerto Nuevo about 2hrs. then head back home. We all should be back home before dark (unless you want to stay on your own). We can zig zag right up to the front of the border/customs (15mins). There will be at least two toll booths one in Tijuana and one in Rosarito (coming and going). Each cost about $1.25 to pass per Bike ($2.45 per automobile). Please have your US dollar(s) and quarters ready for the toll fee. (the lobster special is $20 per person including tip. No credit cards)
Road conditions are great on the toll roads. However, when we pull off the toll road to get onto the free road right after Rosarito, the road is very rough and has many potholes (also beware of ongoing construction and the lack of exits and confusing sign posts) We will have one fuel stop prior to entering Baja Mexico which should be plenty to get to Puerto Nuevo and out of Baja Mexico.
