In stark contrast to the freezy temperatures of Alaska, the riders are now sweltering in heat of over 35 degrees! They are well south on the USA section of the ride, reaching Moab, Utah today.

Moab is a great place to stop over for a couple of nights. Arches National Park is right on the doorstop and there are plenty of off road trails.

Both bikes and riders are in fine form. It's now only a week to go until Pheonix, the final destination. Click to Tales on the Road to see the latest travel updates.
