For the trip home we just winged it. We only had to go to a second choice for hotel twice during the whole trip. We planned the ride the next day based on where we got each day. We did 7500 miles in 14 days of riding. It wasn't terrible except for the blistering heat especially on the way home. Records were broken. We had to average 535 miles/day, however we had some more than that and one day(2nd to last) at 860 miles. We proved we could do it, but have no desire to ride like that again. We just did 6500 miles in 15 days going to SW-FOG. That only dropped the required miles/day to 433, but that was much more manageable. We had several days that we did over 500, but several at or below 400 too. That trip was much more enjoyable. It was also almost two weeks earlier which made for slightly cooler temps. I forced myself to manage mileage on the way out to Utah by having advanced reservations for every night. VERY un Bob-like trip! We did wing it on the way home, though.</p></blockquote><p></p>
