Default Just back

Hi everyone
I'm just back from a wee road trip with my pal, we did it for MacMillan Cancer Charity........
Day 1 Las Vegas to Hoover Dam - Hoover Dam to Las Vegas ( the bike was recalled!!!!) then on to Kingman
Day 2 Kingman to Grand Canyon to Winslow
Day 3 Winslow to Phoenix ( aaah it got warmer )
Day 4 Phoenix to Yuma....( now it was really warm )
Day 5 Yuma to San Diego ( pulled off the I8 onto a great twisty )
Day 6 San Diego to Palm Springs ( we were the only poor people there I think!)
Day 7 Palm Springs to Las Vegas
Done 1590 miles with no wind screens......unbelievable winds there at that time.
We managed to raise £ 2330 and really had a laugh and me some great people and some nut jobs as well !, check out our Justgiving page....Burnsie and Bandito ride again
Cheers

Congrats on the trip.

High-five for the charity fundraiser.

Looks like you hit some good 'bucket' spots. Crossing the pond, probably similar cost to flying down from Canada.

Well Done
