Ride Report - Laughlin River Run
By: Gary Milburn
Its daybreak, Tuesday April 19, everything’s packed and loaded and the weather is clear, running in the low 30’s.
I decided to take the back roads out of town to avoid any rush hour traffic in the big city. O.K. so there’s no heavy traffic at anytime but the back way is a little more scenic and does bypass the signals.
General plans:
Day 1 - take highway 160W with the plan of hitting Four Corners National Monument, Monument Valley, and ending up in Page, AZ for the night.
Day 2/3 - Hwy 89N to Kanab, UT with plans to stop for breakfast, move on to tour Zion National Park and then down I-15 to Las Vegas to visit my daughter for a couple of days.
Day 4 - head to Laughlin, make some rounds through the event and end up in Lake Havasu City in time for check-in and to meet some of the group; VRCC, Vermin, VOAI
Day 5 – maybe take another pass through Laughlin and begin the tour back home
