Friday, July 17th – Monticello, UT to Moab, UT
It was a pleasant, scenic, and enjoyable ride from Monticello to Moab this morning, with moderate temperatures, great roads, and beauty and splendor to spare.
We rolled into town just a shade past 9:00 am, hit the local car wash (yeah, THAT was long overdue), and removed hundreds of miles of mud and dust from bikes, bags, and boots.
Once things were cleaned up, we headed over to Mad Bro Powersports for servicing on our bikes – https://madbropowersports.com.
Our man there, Troy, was fantastic, arranging for tires changes, oil changes, and general servicing. Techs Louis and J.P. did an awesome job – thanks guys! If you’re in Moab, be sure to visit our friends at Mad Bro – they’re top notch!
While waiting for the bikes to be serviced, we checked into La Quinta Inn & Suites – https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/laquinta/moab-utah/la-quinta-moab/overview – where Martin at the reception desk could not have been more accommodating. There are some really fine folks here in Moab.
One of the sweet, sweet advantages of staying at La Quinta was the Blu Pig BBQ and Blues Joint right across the parking lot – http://www.blupigbbq.com
Here we enjoyed the first sit-down lunch of our entire trip. I (Rob) had ribs, and they were on a par with the best I’ve ever tasted. When in Moab, Blu Pig is a must visit.
It was nice to have a break after more than two weeks of constant travel. Tomorrow promises to be a great day, with some of the best riding imaginable here in Moab – Stand By!!
