Earache Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Set off on my annual trip to someplace today. Made it as far as Ogden, Utah after riding around 600 miles for the day. Joing me on this trip is my friend Neil aboard hios GS and friends Dave and Debbie on their GS. Left home in 38F degree (4C) temps and arrived in Ogden at 104F(40C). Didn't take a lot of pics today as we were mostly riding through hpt desert landscapes and soem highways. Did get a few pics at a road works - even has an abandoned house! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like another hot one today. At first it's cool because of the novelty factor, you feel like you're on an adventure, but after 2 or 3 hours under the sun in those temperatures it takes a toll on you. My solution is to find a swimming pool by 4PMÂ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Day off thge bikes today, so I can catch up. Yesterday was brutal - 600 miles with temps of 107 (42C) across Idaho. Most of southern Idaho is a vast wasteland of nothingness - just scrub bushes and long stmraight roads. Kept the speeds at about 90 mph as fuel economy really suffers above that and gas stops are few and far between... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
