1,400 miles in 4 days. Wish we had more time to really explore, but we are tight on time. This will be a rolling tour.

Great area to ride... However, Bring your rain gear and keep an eye on the weather... The WORST rain I have ever seen in my life was in the first few days of Aug in Gallup NM back in 72... Just learn how to read the clouds and enjoy.. read the link below - good info

Yeah they have really bad monsoons out there. watch the coulds and try to stay ahead of them If you have time the Roadkill cafe is out near flagstaff, it actually may be closer to the Jerome side of that loop but it's right off 40. it's a tourist trap but they have a nice bar.
