CO-NM-AZ-UT Trip, Spring 2019

[texlurch]

Had planned to do this this year, but time/money/family got in the way.
So any interest for next spring, mid-Apr or end of May? Based on my schedule

Mileage is from Lake George, so adjust accordingly; staying at cheap hotels (think Days Inn and such)

CO-NM-AZ-UT 2076 miles

Day 1 to Grants 476 miles (breakfast at Jans), 50, 550
Day 2 to Show Low AZ 403 miles 191 etc
Day 3 to Flagstaff AZ 359 miles Superstition Mtns, may add a side road or two depends how it feels
Day 4 Grand Canyon morning, leave after noon to Monticello UT 397 miles w/jog to 4 Corners, $20/bike to get in at South Rim GC
Day 5 to home, 441 miles via Unaweep and Black Canyon

I'm a maybe in May. You should post a route. Day 2 from Grants to Show Low is less than 200 miles.

Looks like dates are June 3-7. Day 2 includes 191, a little longer than 200 miles......

ran out of dots to move so this map doesn't include the jog over to 4 Corners (optional if you have never been)

June is way too hot for NM/AZ for me.

June is way too hot for NM/AZ for me.

It is a toss up... if I try and go in April good chance of hitting snow in the CO mountains. Too late in June is hot. End of May and 1st part of June it is hit or miss.
I have vented as well as heated gear, but no snow tires for the bike.
I work a rotating schedule as well, so have to pick times on my off days.

We did 191 last year late May and it was perfect.

Worse case may be a little warm around Flagstaff and GC, but it is still high desert and not Phoenix....
