Well he did it!! Ricky completed his 120 mile leg of the 2007 SCORE Tecate Baja 500 in ensenada Mexico this past weekend. It took him 4 hours to complete his 120 miles over some of the nastiest terrain you can imagine making him the first para ever to compete in the Baja 500 on a 2 wheeled dirt bike.
His team went on to finish 13th in the pro class in a total time of just over 12 hours.

great job Ricky!!!
