Day 19: Sustainable Living and Fiesta Food

Our first morning in Banámichi started with a hearty breakfast consisting of fresh fruits (mangoes, cantaloupes, and watermelons), scrambled eggs, beans, flour tortillas, orange juice, coffee, and tea. We did a bit of work post-breakfast and then our host, Tom, took us to the home of a couple, Stevan and Lucia, who are committed to sustainable […]

Days 17 & 18: New Mexico to Mexico

Our ride from Deming to Douglas on Wednesday morning was a short one at 2.5 hours. It wasn’t as scenic as what we had grown used to seeing so we didn’t stop as many times – just for the usual gas and water, mostly. We did have to pull over to the side of the […]

Days 15 & 16: Currency Exchange and Coffee Politics

On our final morning in Albuquerque, we started the day with a fruitless attempt at trying to change a small amount of Canadian cash that I have been carrying with me into U.S. dollars. Since I won’t be back to Canada for a while, I figured that American cash would be useful for the remaining […]

Day 14: Breaking Bad in Albuquerque

We started our first morning in Albuquerque a bit later than usual, but with the usual breakfast at Starbucks. We decided to spend the day doing a Breaking Bad tour so we looked up all the shooting locations of the show and visited the ones we wanted to see. We were successful in finding some […]

Day 13: The Road to Albuquerque

The ride from Farmington to Albuquerque was a short and scenic one at around 3 hours on the US Route 550. We made many picture stops along the way since the day was nice and the temperature remained within a tolerable range. We arrived in Albuquerque in the afternoon and relaxed a bit before going […]

Day 12: Monument Valley and Arizona to New Mexico

The ride from Flagstaff to Monument Valley was a fairly long one at around 3 hours, plus the break times. The day started out tolerably warm so we enjoyed the breathtaking scenery; however, by the time we reached our destination, it was cold and rainy.       Monument Valley is located on a Native […]

Days 9-11: Grand Canyon South

We ended up staying in Kingman for three nights so we had a couple of low-key days where we didn’t do a lot of riding other than the short trips for meals so that we could catch up on some remote work. Our first full day was almost entirely spent at a nearby Starbucks. We […]

Day 8: Nevada to Arizona and Grand Canyon West

After a good night’s sleep, we headed towards Arizona on Monday morning. The weather was still hot, but far more tolerable than the last few days; however, we still made frequent breaks along the way to cool down and hydrate. The better weather also allowed us to enjoy the beautiful landscapes we passed by and […]
