Rachel's C90 Adventures from Alaska to Argentina – Life in the fun lane!
Saturday 31st October – Sunday 1st November Green River, UT to Castle Dale, UT It was obvious that my bike wasn’t happy, so we decided to stay in Green River another night and address the issue. Wayne continued to be a star and gave us a generous discount on a room, before we set to…
Friday 30th October – Moab, UT to Green River, UT As my vehicle attracted even more attention now (I didn’t think that was actually possible) getting out of Moab was tricky. We couldn’t go down the main high street so opted for the backroads, then found a bicycle path which took us alongside the main…
Wednesday 28th October – Friday 30th October Having finally finished the trike, and needing to get some new tyres fitted, I decided to have my maiden/test voyage on the way to the bike shop.

Day 55: White Rim Trail Day 2 Tuesday 29th September I woke early to do some yoga as the sun rose, and the other guys were up and packing as Ed got up. We had a good chat with them in the morning, and they had us laughing with their tales of their…
Day 54: White Rim Trail Day 1 Monday 28th September I first heard about the White Rim Trail on Facebook. Three Kiwi’s who we’d met on the TAT had done it and posted a few photos, and we rather fancied having a go. It looked incredible, and up for exploring the spectacular scenery of Canyonlands…
Day 47 Monday 21st September Our second attempt at leaving 3 Step nearly failed as well, as Ed’s bike decided to die as he rode it round to the front to say goodbye. After hours of investigating, trying parts from my bike and endless trial and error, he discovered that the pickup coil…
