As some of you know, I and 14 others went for a week ride in US.
Route as follows:
Day1: San Francisco to Oakdale (approx 150 miles) via Golden Gate Bridge
Day 2: Oakdale to Mammoth Lakes, via Yosemite and Tioga Pass (9900 feet, and yes snot on the ground in June)
Day 3:Mammoth Lakes to Death Valley (furnace creek rancy) (for some footage of the ride in death valley, follow this link

Day 4: Death Valley to Las Vegas
Day 5 Vegas to Springdale in Zion National Park via hoover dam. What a drive, and the destination is beyond words.
Day 6: Springdale to Grand Canyon
Day 7: Grand Canyon to Phoenix and end of trip.
I can only say that I would do this again in a heartbeat.
Here is a link to some photos, and will upload more as I get them..
