In Valley of the Gods, the riders conspired to do a Naked Ride – given the road is so rarely used by the public. Of course as with many ideas, bravado chat is one thing; getting down to the business is something else. Kevin and Ed are the only ones who, with only boots, gloves and helmets, scoot along the Valley of the Gods, only to meet with the one white family saloon coming up behind them! They both ducked into a small lay-by, and the car drives past and waves to them, as if nothing is amiss!
At Grand Canyon, half the riders chose to visit the narrowest point of the Grand Canyon, by riding 60 miles on a little known dirt road right to the very edge of the canyon. There are no barriers, no tourists, no cafes but there is the best view you can get. The dirt road is tricky towards the end, the last 4 or 5 miles is first gear stuff over tight bends, slick rock, some sections of soft mud and steep rocks. Everyone did well, challenged themselves and were rewarded by the most spectacular views at such a remote spot.
