Bill Witt had a great day of riding and stopped by to send greetings to his wife and family in Boulder, Nevada. Both of the Beaman brothers were smiling and El Modena High School teacher, Brian Beaman, was just spotted doing PUSHUPS in front of the Desert Inn Hotel because he finally, after three days, used the word MINE and suffered with 10 brutal pushups at the end of the day.

Monster Energy's Casey Currie continues to rally his Kawasaki through the Baja countryside without any issues.

Rip Riders have arrived to the Desert Inn Hotel in beautiful Catavina. For those that don't know Catavina has one real hotel and no gas stations, one small market and the locals sell gas out of 55 gallon drums and siphon hoses. However, the Desert Inn boasts a swimming pool and beautiful patio in front where the prep is taking place of many of the motorcycles.

The only rider in the 2010 Rip to fall out today was Brian Busby aka Scrambler.

Larry Job having a tough RIP ride so far as he went 5 miles this morning and lost his brakes. Here 60 miles later he's taking the brakes off his broken bike and putting them on the spare bike that he took over yesterday. Job is pushing forward for the next 40-50 miles until they call it a day tonight.

Cameron Steele is guessing the next leg will take 2-3 hours so we will see them around sunset.

Stay tuned...
