Lodging Options: We'll be staying in the Richfield, Utah area the first and last nights (August 7 and August 9), then we will have one night in Escalante (August 8). Escalante has limited options, I recommend booking sooner than later. Check out the BBSC! Facebook page for club chatter on reservations. 

*Emily will be staying at Super 8 Wyndham Richfield, first and last nights; then at Circle of Destination the second night.

Drive or Ride to Richfield? That's up to you! Some will trailer or hitch haul their ride down to Richfield since we will stay there the first and last night's. Most hotels in the area will be fine with you leaving your vehicle there until you return back.

Because of how close the starting and ending point of the trip is, Emily plans to ride from Lehi to Richfield. It's approximately 131 miles/2.5 hours of riding, which is also the daily average of riding this trip.

How much riding are we doing? This is a loop trip and we'll be riding 130-138 miles per day with many breaks in between for the sites.

Will there be a "sag wagon"? To be continued on that. We might have one to help move an overnight bag or luggage along the way.

What extra fees can we expect besides gas, lodging, and food? We will be going by two national parks: Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon. Capitol Reef has no entrance fee but Bryce Canyon does. Bryce Canyon is $30 per motorcycle/scooter and $80 for the annual America the Beautiful Pass. There is also an optional choice for dinner at Hell's Backbone Grill on Friday night. 

What if my scooter is only a 125cc or it's a little on the slower side? We are on one of the most beautiful highways in the U.S. landspeed records are not the goal here. Top speeds should peak around 55mph on most of the roads we're on. We also will go the pace of all our riders. There's only 1-2 stretch that we will be going 65 mph. One section is from Richfield to Torrey. We will split the riders into two groups with 55+ MPH and faster led by Emily and 55 mph and slower, led by either Davey or Cameron. That way we can be grouped a little tighter and not be one long slow snake on the highway that is hard to pass. All the meet up times/places are the same for everyone and designed for flexibility for all CC's.

You mentioned hot springs? Yep! Mystic Hot Springs is nearby in Monroe. We can plan on riding down there for a nice end of the night dip. There's also Jeb's Water Hole in Richfield that is a local favorite.

Will it be hot? Yes, we'll see some temperature swings throughout the ride. At the lower elevations around Torrey and Escalante, you can expect hotter temperatures. We'll also be rising in elevation at Boulder so it can be a little brisk in the evenings. We will be taking plenty of rest stops through out the ride but you will want to best prepare with plenty of sunscreen and proper covering while riding. Hydration is VERY important so be sure you have 1-2 water water bottles. You will want to drink plenty throughout the day. There will be gas stations and restaurants along the way so it will give you plenty of opportunities to refill too.

I can't help but notice you're going through Antimony... Yeah, about that. We're stopping for pie. It's tradition.
