Long rides aren't only about riding roads and seeing new places - it's also about meeting people and making new friends.

Part 2 sees us saying goodbye to some friends we made in Las Vegas before heading off into the scorching heat of Death Valley

Hanging with Lolita and Lina from Lithuania

Emily at Planet Hollywood

On the way to Death Valley

The sign says it all

Made it. Damn it's hot!

The view from Dante's Peak

On the way to Badwater

Going below sea level. The ground goes down but the heat goes up

It was 52C (126F) at this point today

Going faster only makes it hotter

Gas was a bit pricey

Nothing but distance

The end of a great day of riding

Mexican breakfast the next morning. Yes I ate it all

Mammoth Lakes ski area. Now we're getting some elevation

Snow!? Yesterday I was melting hot, today I'm wearing everything I have!

Snowball fight!

Tioga Pass Road (Hwy 120) thru Yosemite. Highly recommended

Motorhome on Tioga Pass Road

-283 feet yesterday, almost 10,000 feet today. East entrance to Yosemite

Yosemite and freezing cold. We were both worried about ice on the road

Back below the snow line

Goodbye daytime

Stay tuned for part 3 in which our intrepid explorers laugh in the face of adversity
