On 11/17/06 I successfully finished the Baja 1000 riding the entire race solo. It took me 33 hours, 35 minutes and 40 seconds to become the first woman in the history of the Baja 1000 to solo the race on a motorcycle.

Even though I finished about 10 hours before the course closing time, I had to push hard from the start to the finish, because the Honda pits closing time in the lower half was around 32 hours into the race, which meant if I did not make it to each pit before the closing time I would not get gas and would run out. That fact left me very little time for resting during the race.
 I rode the first 16 hours without taking any breaks, then for the next 16 hours I was able to only take very brief breaksÑjust enough for something to eat or drink, and to sit down for a few, then back onto the bike.

As I came down into La Paz, I was almost in a state of shock, there were thousands of people lined up for the last 10 miles of the race, cheering yelling and screaming, it was simply amazing. I have never seen anything like that and will forever hold that moment in my memories.

Though I rode solo, I would not have been able to do this without the support of so many people. My crew was outstanding they are the ones that pushed me all the way, I owe every bit as much of this success to them as well as each and every Honda pit.

On 11/6/06 we began prerunning the Baja 1000. Bob Wadlow, myself and Morgan Spralding (another solo rider) left Ensenada on our XR650 pre run bikes. We rode the course over to San Felipe where we stopped to gas up and then off to CocoÕs corner. Coco came out, greeted us and offered something cool to drink. Red Bull had set up an official pre run break spot, so we sat under their tent for a few minutes and talked to Coco. He showed us the room where past passerbyÕs had left their underwear which he then proudly hung up. I bought Eric a tee shirt and off we went. Coco said to watch the spring up the road its about a 4 ft. water crossing.

I took off first. As I approached the water crossing it looked like it was too deep and over to the right side there was an inviting path with lots of water reeds growing. It did not appear to have deep water, so I went through at that spot. About half way across the bike sank into deep mud and buried itself. I jumped off only to find myself up to mid waist in a swampy type mud. I struggled out of it and swam to the bank and pulled my self up. About that time Bob and Morgan rode up. I think most people would have been really upset but we all looked at each other and just started laughing, I should have listened to Richard and stayed on the main road.

It took the three of us to dig and pull the bike out, and it was almost dark when we got going again. We had to ride the rest of the way to Bay of LA in the dark. Doug and Richard were waiting for us at a nice place to stay we had a great dinner. We spent the next two days covering the rest of the course accumulating many good stories to remember, and meeting a lot of neat people.

Sept 2006 I was fortunate enough to be part of the Dirt Bike Magazine team racing the Glen Helen 24 hour endurance race while testing a tricked out Honda 450X prepped by my brother Quinn Cody. The team consisted of Adam Booth, Quinn Cody, Scott Meyers, Logan Holiday, Blanke and myself. We won the Open Expert class.

Sept 2006 I was invited by District 36 to race the Furnace Creek Hare Scrambles in northern Cal near Sacramento. The club was very kind to us, they allowed us to put up our Baja display on Saturday which Stacy manned raising money for the Cancer Society while I went out and tested the bike. I raced on Sunday and finished 4th in the Woman's A class.
