We awoke from our slumber at another awesome KOA in Fillmore really early to try and make it to Zion in time to get a first-come, first-served camping spot. But as is typical of my packing, it took me an hour to put the mountain of crap back onto my bike. After another terrible freeway [...]

If I had to name three things I learned from popular music they would be, that you can’t always get what you want, that all we are is dust in the wind and that Heaven is a halfpipe. If I had to name three things I learned from this trip so far, they would be, [...]

Yellowstone, more like bisonstone

Ah, Yellowstone. It was our most anticipated destination and boy were we excited to get there. Unfortunately, the trek required that we ride through yet another windy mess of a thunder/rainstorm.
Along the way, we rode past the guest ranch that I stayed in during my first Red Bull training and the lake that they took [...]

After leaving Glacier we headed south towards yellowstone. We stopped in Helena Montana to get some lunch at Safeway and stock up for dinner. Up until this point we had been fortunate enough to stay dry, safe and happy. Like two babies tucked into bed, we were content. Until the rains came…
We got soaked riding [...]

Glacier National Park

So it’s been a little while since we were last able to update this thing, turns out there isn’t much service in Montana – expecially in Glacier National Park. It also seems as though AT&T shut off my internet tethering, so posts may be more limited or without photos unless we find hotspots during pitstops.
Since [...]

We got a much earlier start today on our way back south to Lewiston and US 12. Yes, we had to backtrack – chalk one up to poor map planning. Once we got back onto US 12 though the road snaked through a valley and hugged a river as we retraced the tracks of Lewis [...]

Day Two. Lewiston and Heyburn State Park
July 21st, 2009 · 3 Comments · Riding Reports
We started the day off with breakfast in the little town of Joseph before heading to Lewiston, Idaho. En route to Lewiston we found some truly awesome roads. Roads straight out of a fairytale. The type of fairytale you were not told as a child because only one fairytale involves 21st century gadgetry and the [...]

Day 1: Wallowa Lake

Ryan being deep
Yesterday was the first day of our tour and it went really well. We put on over 350 miles and took it pretty easy as we snaked through the gorge and some back roads to Wallowa Lake State Park. We definitely enjoyed the smaller roads way more than I-84 and will be avoiding [...]
