HEADING OUT

[JamesP]

I do believe spring may be here!

We had two days in a row that were quite nice and definitely "rideable"; been a long winter with LOTS and LOTS of snow.

Next Monday (week from today) the minister (Minister of War and Finance, i.e. the Wife) and I are heading south for a long ride. Only hard spot in the schedule is Wednesday night reservation in a lodge on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Otherwise we have no agenda or schedule; telling the kids not to look for us until they hear us coming.

I love the four corners area for riding. Last fall the Minister and I rented a trike from Eagle Riders and rode for a week in that area; it was nothing short of awesome. That lead to our buying a 2016 trike late last fall and this will be our first long ride on it. I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas.

Will try to take/ post a few pictures but I don't like riding with only one hand while I operate the camera.

Minister Ilike that .

Enjoy and be safe out there. The no destination trips are the best.

[LadyonaMission]

James, you and the Minister have a wonderful trip. One of my favorite quotes "not all who wander are lost".

What a great plan!

I’ll bet the Minister would do the honors with the camera for ya!

Have fun, ride safe!

Don't forget the North Rim ... Really Pretty

[David792]

don't forget your cool weather gear. CG south rim can be about 7,000 feet and gets chilly this time of year.

It's one of my favorite spots. You're gonna have a blast.

James, sounds like a good plan, hope you have a great time.

Sounds like you are going to have a great time!

Give the Minister the camera, she can add that to her resume.

Wishing you miles of smiles!

Thanks to everyone for the 'well-wishes' and advice. I quite certain that the North rim and Zion National park will be in our travels.

Might come back through Colorado; the Silverton/ Ouray route but then again it may be a bit early for that....we shall see. Going south we are going down the west side of Utah through a whole lot of nada and small towns I've never visited......coming north we just may take highway 93 up through Nevada.....again a whole lot of nada. I tend to love riding the back roads and avoid the interstate when on a bike. It brings out the small town 'hick' in me; born in the boondocks!
