WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARY RINELL / MJSMOTOPHOTOS
T
he annual Tecate Enduro hosted by the notorious Los
Ancianos MC took place at the Rancho Santa Veronica
compound in Tecate, Mexico. Contrary to last year's
"hero dirt," this weekend saw a much more standard, dry, dusty
and warm race. The location has not seen rainfall in months,
so once the wheels started spinnin', the dust started risin',
and there's doubt if it will settle ever again. Not a single racer
escaped Tecate this year without a brag-worthy "dirt-'stache."
It is well known that the Los Ancianos MC organizes one of
North America's best enduros and has for more than 60 years.
Every year, the club sells out of entries quickly. Participants
eagerly set their reminders on the day of registration to be one
of the lucky 300 or so to score a spot on the start line under
the iconic yellow banner. Twenty-eight minutes is all it took for
the race to sell out this year, which speaks volumes as to how
much the racers love this legendary event.
