    I'm definitely interested. Love me some long distance trips. Depends on the days, but I could be down for this.

    Kind of what I was thinking

    Although, we were out west this weekend and temps were all over the place. Was near triple digits out near Gateway on Friday, and I saw 45 (fog and rain) on the bike going over the Mesa near Cedaradge on Saturday...
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    I did the last trip, it's an awesome ride. I'm planning on going back towards the fall.

    It's going to be super hot. Clifton, AZ which is the southern point is going to be 102 and higher - up to 110 in some parts. That's the reason why this trip is done in the spring or in the fall

    When we went in April it was like 90 degrees in Clifton. Alpine, AZ (the northern part of the trail) is higher elevation and cooler. Mid 70s to 80 degrees.

    Gallup, NM (where we stayed for the first night) -- will be 90ish.

    I would wait if it was me.

    That's true. It wont be "that" hot. Except in Clifton.

    There's a cool Texas BBQ but I forgot what it's called. There's not many resturants there so it should be the only one. It has a HUGE open dining area.

    Clifton was a furnace and that was the last week of March. Expect temps in the 115-120. Otherwise have an awesome time! It's epic!
