Touring is thirsty work!.
Breakfast in Williams, AZ. offers limited choices when you get up early. Well maybe early for the town at least it was late for us. We foolishly tried a coffee after the coffee shop staff said they knew how to make a flat white. They clearly didn’t know how to do it. Or at least …
“Vegas baby!” A bit of a hidden gem, it was a renovated off the strip casino with a great food and beer selection, for anyone staying on Las Vegas you should consider this place. Cheaper than staying on the strip and it’s within easy walking distance. You get an empty “growler” when you arrive which …
Route 66 trip I’ve been here 3 times in the last 5 years, great place to sit back and listen to some music over a cold beer. I was also served the most bizarre burger I’ve ever had. It came out deconstructed and I had to put it together to eat. Seriously? That’s just plain …
With our journey to Monument Valley done it was time to turn around and head back towards Route 66. Riding back through Monument Valley with the sun behind us was a truly majestic experience. You can certainly see why it’s one of the most photographed places on the planet. If I was to venture this way again …
Route 66 motel This is an old Route 66 motel which is why we chose it. The was comfy, the room was basic and clean. It’s a little expensive for what it offers. There are plenty of places you can walk to for a drink or a meal so you won’t have a problem finding …
Overpriced There’s not a lot of choices once you get out this way, they are in the middle of nowhere. That said the cabin was very nice and the bed was comfy. That’s about all the positives though, they don’t have a bar for a quiet drink and your dining is limited to the in-house …
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 …
