In 2005 I dragged a fellow editor down to the Baja 1000 for a story I was working on. This inevitably resulted in chasing rainbows from the start in Ensenada, to the first road crossing at Ojos Negros and eventually to Honda's Hill Top Pit where I shot this as Robbie Bell sped to the finish. The 1000 is a lonesome race, a solo experience reliant on an air tight team. To pilot a XR650 close to 1000 miles through rocks, sand, silt and Mexico's natural obstacles is a true testament to a man's marriage to his machine.

That's been a remote dream of mine for years.
