The temps looked to have been pretty extreme, can you guys tell us more about the temperatures while riding and what your temperature expectation was when youi left home.

Supershooter

No, not extreme.......just a low of 16F to a high of 90F........just about what I'd posted ahead of time in the Event Chatter board.  We'd been following the forecast the week prior to leaving so it was about what we'd expected.  Extreme for us is when it gets up in the triple digits since 112F-115F is normal in Death Valley in the summer months.

My motor or my body doesn't understand that.  115F is 115F wet or dry. :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:

And yet another awesome journey for others to measure up to...As I was reviewing these photos, the thoughts of the terrain, weather and other elements I was thinking that this could be called the trip from heaven to hell...WOW!

Thanks for sharing the experience...
