Route 666 / Salt River Canyon

Jack-N-The Box (map)

Selected By: William

This will be our second overnight 666 ride. 1 year from our last one. We had such a great time that we are scheduling this one early.

This will be a 2 day run.

Day 1 we ride up 666 to Pinetop and stay the night.

Day 2 ride back to Tucson going through Salt River Canyon.


Here is the hotel info.

http://www.hiepinetop...

It's the Holiday Inn Express Pinetop. Please make your reservations early for the best available rates. It looks like right now the best rate is 117.00. I did not set up a group rate due to the high no show rate and the hotel will not allow group rates on 5-6 rooms.You're more than welcome to stay anywhere in the area but we had good service at this hotel and they allowed us to park the bikes in the Valet area right outside the doors. There's also an inside pool, sauna and hot tub so bring your skivvies :)

    I want to send a special thank you to Will and Jen for providing the chase vehicle with water, etc. It came in very handy again and helped make the trip as good as it was. Thanks guys!

    Word. Will and Jen rock for everything they do for us. A chase vehicle of that size isn't cheap to bring along and they do it to ensure everyone's good time so a very big thanks to them! I want to thank EVERYONE that came out. Each person brings a special quality to every ride that makes it special. Next year save me a shorty beer though!! ;)

    It was out pleasure Blair. It's nice having a small group at the back. Gotta take advantage of it before she has a 600 and plays with the rest!

    I also want to thank Will and Jen for being so awesome.It always makes the ride easier when Jen drives the chase truck. My bike has seen a lot of that trailer and truck lately. Thank goodness it was available.I think my bike has seen the last of the back of truck or trailer all the hip cups seem to be out of it now. Thank you Jen for keeping me in check while I was having fun.Love ya both.The ride had doubled in size from last year.Can't wait till next years ride to see turn out.

    Did you guys get a chance to take 261 just west of Springerville south to Mexican Hay Lake? Awesome road. Sounds like you had a good time. I'm planning on doing a day trip on the same route this summer.

    Hi all... Finally got the videos posted. They are not public, so you'll have to click each link. As this was the first time I used this camera, none of the video from the first day turned out. I did my best to get footage of everybody, but if I missed you, please forgive. I'll be more diligent next time.

    Here are a couple of drive by's:
