Default 3 weeks until my trip

Well, it's 21 days until I take off. We will be leaving the San Diego area to ride around Arizona for 5 days before heading up to Zion and down to Vegas for a couple of days.

We will hit the Coronado trail and a few of the rides that Mike from Australia took. Thanks for that info Mike. My buddy wants to "stand on the corner in Winslow Arizona" and I want to see Sedona. Might have to add another day to the trip so we can see more.

I'm not much of a picture taker but I will try to take and post a few.

Today I spent 3 hours detailing the bike and checking all of the important stuff. It will just get dirty again before I leave but oh well.

Not sure if you've been to Sedona before, but the Oak Creek Canyon between Flagstaff and Sedona (I think it's hiway 89) is a MUST on a bike! Another great and interesting ride is the old mining town of Jerome, up in the hills above Cottonwood.

Have a great trip, and be safe!

You said it! I love that section of road! Leaves were changing when we were there and they were all yellow. Sun hit the leaves and everything looked almost like gold! Funny to about that area, is that I thought my friend riding with me was just kidding about being afraid of heights! Jerome was awesome! We may be in San Diego at the end of July! May need some tips about that area.
