Stage #14
Henderson, NV to Lake Havasu, AZ
191 Miles
High of 89
7% Chance of rain
Hoover Dam this morning, Do not short cut course, Stop and take pictures we give you time, going over the second highest bridge in the US, Arizona Sidewinder




We had an incredible day. Started out headed down to Kingman. Long straight high speed road. Sun beating on us. Same three; Bartman, Olson, and Tribbey.
Rode over the Hoover Dam.


It’s actually hard to believe I’m here on a 100 year old machine.
Lunch stop at Mother Road Harley. Then on to the “Sidewinder” mountains (191 curves over 8 miles). It was spectacular. Somewhere over this pass Bartman sputtered out and was picked up by the sweep truck.
Olson met me at the bottom in Oatman.



Had an ice cream here and went on our way after Bartman said he was waiting for the Grim Sweeper truck to pick him up.
Olson and I ran the rest of the ride in to Lake Havasu to finish with all the miles.


Specs from today:


And the new standings.

Tomorrow will be 247 miles to Palm Desert, CA. Far from an easy ride.
I’m very happy how things are going. Bike is running great. I’m getting tired but ready to give it my best efforts. Over and out.
