Packing for Baja 1000

One word: Layers.  There is up to 5000 ft of elevation (around 45000 total elevation change) on the route in 2013.

I put together a map that shows elevation at various points in the 2013 course.

Here's stuff I plan to bring or the other guys are bringing:

• Flashlight - there's a lot of night time racing.  Want to make sure I stay visible, so I'm packing a headlamp.  Keeps my hands free to do other stuff.
• Wool hat - I like wool because it's supposed to keep you warm when wet.  Turtle fur has awesome hats.
• Go Pro cameras - you'll want video of your escapades (my team is bringing mountable versions)
• base layers/fleece - warmness
• car phone/kindle charger - not gonna have outlets in the desert.  Won't have service either, but i'll still have angry birds and Dan Brown for my down time.
• hiking shoes
• gloves
• travel insurance card
• passport
