    I am organising a group on this transport to ride 2 weeks in May from the 9th to the 23rd - Anyone interested in tagging along? . We can get $850 for the return trip.

    Before you post comments on riding down - I can only get 2 weeks vacation at a time and don't want to have to change tires in Vegas so I am trucking down.

    I am personally doing a ride around the Grand Canyon on 40% off-road through Nevada, California, Arizona and back through Utah. While in Utah I will be doing 3-4 sections of the UTBDR. I will be camping but it can be done in motels also.

    Itinerary looks like this:

    This is not a guided tour and each will be responsible for his own expenses (lodging, air fare, fuel, food, ....) In camping mode, this trip can easily be done under $2500. A list of chosen lodging will be supplied and each will make his own reservations.

    Here is the detail of the Grand Canyon Tour
