Arizona 2009

Las Vegas to Las Vegas in a week taking in the Grand Canyon, Los Angeles and the 2009 MotoGP at Laguna Seca along the way.

This is the latest USA tour organised by Darren following the success of the 2008 tour of Arizona.
Darren says "It's looking like I'm going to be wandering on over to USA again to see the Laguna Seca round of next season's Moto GP (5th July 2009). I wondered whether you think anyone would be interested in joining me and Belinda. We will fly into Las Vegas (direct flights from Manchester) collect bikes from there (Harleys) and go onto the GP, then take a trip down the West coast taking in Los Angeles, on through Arizona via Wickenburg, Sedona, Flagstaff, Grand Canyon (sky walk if possible) and back to Vegas. We get to experience Independence Day on the Saturday, too. Due to a stop for a full day to take in the GP, the trip would mean flying in Thursday and flying back to UK the following Friday (landing Saturday morning). I think the cost would be somewhere between $2,700 and $3,000. Obviusly I don't know what that will equate to in Sterling come next July, but if people are interested, and wanted to get the money ready in dollars whenever they can, then that could limit any impact."

18-11-08 Sticky Buns Run - Update

Funny how days can start in brilliant sunshine and end in absolute downpours of rain. The Sticky Buns Run started with clear skies. A breakfast stop in Slaidburn followed by the memorial service in the village centre was under clear blue skies.

Then on for a play around the wonderful Lancashire Lanes stopping at Carnforth Station for Lunch and some sticky pudding. Skies started to close in and the rain started to fall. During the afternoon section of the run, and travelling along some particularly interesting back lanes, it started to fall down in bucket loads. Our third stop was at a farm on the way to Garstang and a most welcome shelter from the rain. The remainder of the journey home was through flooded roads in heavy rainfall. Non the less it was a good day amongst friends and with some great food along the way.
