[QUOTE="orestes, post: 326750, member: 498"] The week in the desert was the one part that concerned me (my original plan was to rent a FJR from them and spend a month in the PNW but this trip looked to good to miss). I have ventilated gear (both textile and leather) but I'm not sure how effective they'll be in the higher tempreratures so I'll have a look at the Joe Rocket gear, luckily I have a dealer nearby (the downside being they are also a dealer for MV and one day I'm going to be tempted). I think I may be doing a lot of my riding in the early hours and at dusk but that may have its own problems. Its all part of the adventure. Having traveled all the way to the US I don't think I'll be making to much use of the rest days and I'm not fit enough to hike down into the Grand Canyon so I'll definitely go for a ride on the Wednesday. Sedona was mentioned by a colleague at work but all others ideas are welcome. We can talk about them over a beer or two in May while watching the sun set over the mountains :) Once I have the details from FlyRide I'll post them on the forum just in case any one wants to join me for a days ride, It'll be nice to meet up with some of the people I have got to know through their posts. I'm also celebrating my 50th on the trip so there will be an invitation for anyone who can make it to Joseph, OR on the 26th September. Dave [/QUOTE]
