Rachel's C90 Adventures from Alaska to Argentina – Life in the fun lane!
Friday 13th November Battle Mountain, NV to Paradise Valley, NV Not only was the breakfast free in the morning, it was absolutely massive! It was well over a day’s worth of calories in one meal, and was a sure fire way to an expanding waistline. Still, we managed to battle our way through it, and left…
Tuesday 10th November – Wednesday 11th November Preston, NV to Eureka, NV Although it’d stopped snowing, it was overcast with snow still on the ground, and there was a bitter cold wind. I couldn’t face another day riding in the cold and snow, so we decided to stay another night. We were more than happy hanging out in…
Monday 9th November Geyser Ranch, NV to Preston, NV It was an early 6.30am start for us at the Ranch, as Steve was always up early and Stacey had already gone to do the 100 mile round trip to drop the kids off at school. Fortunately they only went 3 days a week, as Stacey was…
Thursday 5th November – Friday 6th November Delta, UT to UT/NV Border Unable to face another freezing cold day on the trail, we decided to stay another night in Delta and kit ourselves out with some warm gear. We found some good winter gloves in Ace hardware, picked up a puncture repair kit so Ed could…
Tuesday 3rd November Castle Dale, UT to Gunnison, UT We both had a brilliant nights sleep, and after treating ourselves to a sleep-in we loaded up the bikes and rode in to town. As Ed had to finish the welding in the dark, he checked to make sure he’d got it all in the morning and…
Monday 2nd November Castle Dale, UT to Castle Dale, UT After a leisurely start to the day, we grabbed a snack from the fuel station, topped up our cans and tanks, and hit the road around 11am. It was a perfectly clear and sunny day, and thankfully the sun had some heat to it. …
…The Hondukis Yamakazufan 4000!! Post to follow on ‘The making of the beast’, but it includes parts from a Honda, a Polaris, a Yamaha, a Kazuma and still has my Lifan engine. Hence the name. We think it’s rather catchy, when you can remember it 😀 And many thanks for all your kind…
Day 56-77 Weds 30th September to Wednesday 21st October When we returned from the White Rim Trail neither me nor my bike were in good working order. My bike hadn’t been making the best of noises before we’d ridden it, and afterwards it sounded horrific. Ed diagnosed it as cam chain slap, and as…
Day 38 Saturday 12th September After getting up early for a walk up the hill, I set about replacing my tube while Ed was still asleep. I soon regretted riding on it that bit further, as there was now slime absolutely everywhere, it was a right mess. The tyre was full of…
We had a big day ahead of us to get to our friend Mike’s house in Connecticut in a day, 200 miles to be precise. And although we had the best intentions to leave early, I got distracted with making my bike lighter by throwing out some stuff. I’d been carrying around quite a substantial…
