Last week, we told you aboutThe Cold Start, a sort of learn-to-adventure camp in the Baja Peninsula. We’ve just got a PR email from the event’s management with a few more details on this year’s event.
The basics: With help from Donni Reddington of Skool of Moto and Dusty Wessels of West38moto, this is a May 5-10 event in Baja California that isn’t just aimed at developing your adventure riding skills (both the “adventure” and “riding” part of that formula). The Cold Start also lets you sample the best of the local menu, and offers optional add-ons such as deep-sea fishing at the event’s end. It’s aimed at dual sports and ADVs of all sizes.
If you need to rent a bike, the organizers can also help with that, and they offer a discount deal with event sponsor REV’IT! as well (40 percent off).
This event comes as a package that allows a decent amount of customization in your experience, so it’s best to take a look at what’s offered to see what suits you, your schedule and your skillset best. See more details in the press release below—Ed.

Adventure at Its Finest
The Cold Start Comes Back for a Second Edition Aimed at ADV
Have you ever dreamed of packing your saddle bags and setting off on a whirlwind motorcycle adventure? Perhaps you don’t know where to start. Or maybe you’re a weekend warrior who’d like to take it to the next level. Better yet, you’re a seasoned traveler but you’re just looking for the next two-wheeled exploits. Whatever the case, your perfect Springtime escapade is waiting just across the border. The Cold Start Off-Road Riding Clinic & Culinary Experience is back for its second year, this time with a focus on ADV 101, launching May 5th (Cinco de Mayo, no less) from Ensenada traveling south on seaside dirt road. It’s a full schedule of rides, workshops, and incredible local fare to satisfy your hunger for exhilarating affairs. Circling back to city by the 9th, the event will reach its crescendo with a workshop, ride, and intimate farewell party. But the savvy guests will stay an extra day and choose from one of three excellent outings hosted by Lost In Baja tour company: sport fishing, horseback riding or a regional food tour.
For those who crave a bit more full-focused riding education, two great entities are offering an additional off-road motorcycle course on May 5th just as the event kicks off. Guests – as well as their loved ones – are welcome to sign up for an optional skills clinic (at a separate cost) with Donni Reddington of Skool of Moto (dual-sport instructor & guide) or Dusty Wessels of West38moto (ADV bike instructor & guide). Learn to wrangle your 890 like it’s a 500. Become one with your small-displacement motorbike. This intensive will only heighten the experience touring coastal Baja Norte, build a bond with comrades, staff, and leaders, and immerse yourself in the culture through the tastes of this incredible Mexican state.
To put icing on the cake, before the guests even arrive, REV’IT! is offering a generous 40% discount to participants upon registration, which is now open and ready to welcome you on an unforgettable motorcycle trip.
