Touring is thirsty work!.
Today we ventured off Route 66 and headed up to Monument Valley in Utah, Our destination was Bluff, UT. A ride of 388 km (241 miles), mostly through barren countryside. Surprisingly it was a mild 16°C in Flagstaff, cool enough on the bike for me to don the thermal shirt as a cover layer. Being summer …
Today is a ride day with little of worth to see aside from the Continental Divide and some stunning countryside. Our destination for today was Flagstaff, Arizona. Today is also our longest ride day with 547 km (339 miles) to be covered. We chose to do a longer run due to the lack of things to …
Route 66 motel This motel is right on Route 66, when we stayed there was construction work going on next door. This made the car park interesting as there were vehicles associated with it in the car park. The room was clean, the bed was comfy and breakfast was ok. A little pricey for what …
Route 66 motel After a long hot summer’s day of riding a motorcycle we arrived at this motel only to be told the rooms weren’t ready. I guess that explained the crowded lobby and breakfast area. For the price the motel is fine and the bed was comfy, with the security seeming to be on …
Route 66 trip We visited here during our stay in Amarillo, the best thing is they do a free limo to and from your motel to the restaurant. The beer is cold and the food is good, pick the time of year to go it does get really busy. Overall 4/5 Value 4/5 …
We did a longer run on the bike today as there is not a lot worth stopping at along this stretch of road, our destination tonight was Albuquerque we did 306 miles (493 km) today. There’s not a huge amount of touristy things to do along this stretch. That said our journey included looking at …
Today would see us cross over into the Lone Star state. It would be a sort visit of only one night though. With a journey of only around 177 mile (284km) we had a lot planned to do. As the motel at Clinton didn’t do any breakfast options we hit the road early. Our stops …
Route 66 motel This motel has large rooms, the bed was comfy and the staff were surly. Whilst they have a in-house self-serve laundry the staff at the motel will not change any money for the coin operated machines. There response is walk to the nearby gas station to get change. For such a poor …
We awoke to another amazing day for weather on Route 66, it was going to be another hot day though. As a tip I say don’t ride Route 66 in summer. Today would see us journey to Clinton Oklahoma. Around 193 mile (311km) of travel so we were in no big hurry. Rock Creek Bridge, …
Route 66 motel This motel is old and run down, the rooms are clean though and the bed is very comfy. For the cost you can’t complain too much, it offers a place to lay your head for a cheap cost. They don’t do breakfast so that may put some off. Overall score = 3.4/5 …
