Since I'm deep into planning a 10 day bike trip for this summer, I went back and looked at pics from last year's journey. I thought you guys might enjoy them, since anyone not in a year-round warm climate is getting ready to kick off the season... so I picked quite a few. Enjoy!
We started in Denver, then down to New Mexico, across Arizona, and looped back through Utah and back into Colorado. The trip was a week long... My good friend of 20-something years flew out to Denver from Chicago, and I loaned him my blue/black Victory Cross Country for the week. I did the trip on my black Indian Dark Horse. My other two buddies were on a yellow Goldwing and a red Victory Magnum.
Million Dollar Highway, Colorado
Middle of nowhere New Mexico
El Mapais National Conservation Area, New Mexico
At the hotel for the night, Show Low, Arizona
On the way here, we rode through the hardest rain I've ever experienced on a bike. It was coming sideways, and at one point,
it pretty much felt like someone had slowly poured about 44oz of water into my crotch that pooled in the seat. Balls wet = you know you're soaked!
Salt River Canyon, Arizona
Roosevelt Lake, Arizona
Near Jerome, Arizona
Grand Canyon South Rim, Arizona
Lake Powell, Arizona
Zion National Park, Utah
Route 12 near Bryce Canyon, Utah
Grand Staircase - Escalante, Utah
Somewhere south of Torrey on Route 12, Utah
Hite Overlook, Glen Canyon, Utah
You can see my buddy standing about 1/3 of the way down, and 3/4 of the way across the second pic.
Ouray, Colorado
Back home in Denver, total mileage
