Another short (and beautiful (yawn)) ride from Gateway Canyons to Aspen. We are spending the evening at a lovely hotel called the Little Nell. Neither of us have been to Aspen before so we headed out after dark to do some exploring, find some Pizza and an early night....

We are riding everyday this week until we get to Denver on Friday so these last few days are short hops. Thankfully. Today was a simple, cool and beautiful run of 200km from Ouray to Gateway Canyons where we are staying at a great resort with some interesting...

And another magnificent ride. Its almost getting boring now! We left Mexican Hat at 07h30. It was already 32c and we weren’t relishing another cheese sandwich from the 7-11 so we headed for Cortez some 150km away in the hope of finding another Thunderbird...

So as mentioned yesterday, we decided to leave the lodge at Bryce Canyon early because its a dump and we wanted to get out whilst it was still cool and not have a repeat of yesterday with the heat. We rode some 150km before we found this gem in Mt Carmel called the...

Today was a very long day. I had a breakfast meeting which meant that we didn’t get to leave the hotel until nearly midday so we got to experience the H-E-A-T!! We have started to come down in altitude and move back into the desert and the temperatures soared...

Today was another long-ish 500km day from Amangani in Jackson, Wyoming to Park City in Utah. I mentioned back in 2013 that Utah and Wyoming, of all the US states had captured my heart and this remains true to this day. These two states just keep unfolding surprises...

The Beartooth Highway turned out to be everything we had read about, and then some. We got going relatively early and like all of the “Scenic byways” and “All American roads” this one was no less dramatic. Being the middle of summer however, what was not expected was...

Today was an entirely non descript day with nothing to really write about. We had a long day of unremarkable roads ridden mostly on motorway at high speeds to get us to our destination for the night. We are spending the evening in a beautiful town called Redlodge at...

Today was a much anticipated day. I have been talking about the “Going to the sun road” with Max since I last completed it back in 2013. It is truly motorcycling paradise and one of those roads that people come to the US just to have the opportunity to...

I know that this is an oft repeated statement, but its only because we always have the best of intentions(!); so although we had planned to leave the hotel by 0700 for a relatively long 525km run, our holiday slumber and the beers of the night before got the better of...
