Focus: This internet thread will follow our adventures going as far as our motorcycles, jeeps or legs will take us. We didn't start out as experts but we are learning the ropes and getting the job done. On this journey we will be highlighting the things we do right and the things we do wrong while filling this site with quality adventure travel photos and stories. The goal here is to help you achieve your vision of adventure travel, regardless what that is.
History: JustAdventureTravel.net started December 2004 while Heidi and I were preparing for a 9-month jeep adventure through Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. This website started with a focus on independent adventure travel; the planning the execution and the lifestyle, from start to finish, the good and the bad. This website continues on in that spirit today. Enjoy: If you have some time please check us out now and then and browse around. We will try to create a site rich with content and photos so you can learn more about and enjoy the type of budget independent adventure travel we promote.

Motorcycle Racing in Mexico - the Adventure > -The NORRA Mexican 1000
JustAdventureTravel activities went wild starting in 2016’ with a six-month road trip to Mexico's Baja peninsula. The main point of these chapters is not about Baja motorcycle racing, although there’s plenty of that, it’s about the power of ‘You’ and your ability to change course on a dime and point yourself in a complete new direction. The dreams are the easy part, we all have dreams. It’s the planning and preparations thats important. Here we explain the whole process we went through becoming a desert motorcycle race team in Mexico from scratch! Never raced a motorcycle before, started at age 59. This is exciting and informative stuff. You may like it.

Heidi and Tom we are alive! Another ultimate Baja adventure --> This is fun. San Felipe Baja Mexico GO! 2023' We have wrapped up our Baja racing career at least with a motorcycle. It was a great run for Team Cavebiker Racing (Heidi Tom and good friend Tom C) Six years, three 1,300 mile races, two trophies and one special award. A dream come true in so many ways for both of us. A report of how this all got started is right here->Ultimate Road Trip 2016’ report. What a blast, it's still hard to believe. While racing we learned what to do, it felt automatic after a while. Spend as much time in Mexico as possible, practice riding a desert race bike in the desert and have fun while staying in top physical shape, no brainer. During that time we came to love living in Mexico, it just happened. Now that our crazy racing days are behind it seems obvious we have to go back, just for fun. Ha, here we go, road trip Baja Mexico.
The race bike is transformed back for civilian use complete with passenger pegs for Heidi.
