Due to demands on my time....IMG_20170224_162226.jpg......1700 square feet of new flooring. And the fact the bikes need some love before riding, and the weather........This year's trip to AZ will be driven and not ridden.....
But that is OK, cause the wife and our yellow lab can join me. Hope to make contact with forum members while we are in the Phoenix area next weekend...

Well thats too bad your not riding, but still you are going so that a great thing. When I head out I am hoping for no wind, 70+ weather in the north and hotter as I make miles south. Great post and even got me more excited for next weeks start of my adventure!

a great ride from flagstaff to phoenix is 89a south through Sedona to Cottonwood, Jerome, Prescott and into Phoenix. you will see mountains, high deserts, and desert. awesome day ride or plenty of stops you can make a weekend of sight seeing. if your looking for a twisty cold ride in the mountains 191 in eastern Arizona is a great ride. not for beginners!!!!!

Just did 89a Wednesday......Neat road. They are widening it north of Sedona and down to one lane for a bit. A must stop is Rock Slide State Park. A natural rock water slide.....
_20170324_171723.jpg_20170324_080630.jpg. $10 per car......

When I was a kid, Slide Rock was a place you just pulled your car over to the shoulder of the road, then slid, scrambled or whatever until you got to the bottom. I never went in (my parents wouldn't let us), but it sure looked like fun!

Had a great trip to AZ again this year. Took in two Spring Training games, Mariners.... One with a great forum member, Mark. And the other with our gracious host and friend.

We also got to watch two great college basketball games.....On TV.......GO ZAGS .....!!!!

Drove home on some of the same roads I rode last year. Weather was better last year...

Chris and I are driving out to San Angelo TX at the end of May, I'm planing on driving through Prescott on the way home. I just might take her up to the Grand Canyon on the way home! ;)

OK riders... looking to do this again on two wheels towards the end of March. Seven Bays to Phoenix....about 1500 miles one way.

Anyone interested..?? Join the ride anywhere. If no one joins, I will probably do it in two or three days. Otherwise I am open to any side jaunts to join up with someone.

Can't wait for spring....!!
