July 13 Lunch-Up The Creek- Cornville

[Jon]

We have chosen a meteorlogicaly appropriate location for our July outing—Up The Creek on Page Springs Rd in Cornville. 11:00 as usual at the restaurant with a 09:45 meetup at Big Five in Flagstaff.

A great time to share tales of summer adventures. I live vicariously so I am a great listener. Look forward to seeing you all.

Thank you for the photos. I enjoyed them.  I have two questions, how did you like the Royal Enfields and how did you handle the very high altitudes?

RE's Himalayan 450s are the right bike for those roads/that trip, although we really missed the power and suspension on our KTM 950 and Yamaha Tenere 700 on some days. Some of the bikes we started the trip with had some stalling issues, but they were literally brand new. We had to switch bikes because of provincial rental monopoly issues, and those more seasoned bikes ran flawlessly. The stalling was most certainly a resolvable issue.

We each had a slight headache, me for ~18 hours and Steph for a couple of days after we got up over 11,000 ft ASL consistently. That resolved and then the only concern was if we were hiking up steep stairs or something. Elevation concerns affect different people differently, but one trip participant used a CPAP at night but seemed otherwise OK.

The RE's were entirely gutless at the highest altitudes, however.

Not a lot of oxygen up there for people or machines. What a wonderful trip.
