Tuesday 25 May

Flying direct from London Gatwick you will arrive in Las Vegas where the holiday will start with a two-night stay in the gambling capital of the world.  Don’t worry if gambling’s not your thing there is plenty to see and do and after a night on the town we will be off the next morning to pick up the bikes.

Wednesday 26 May

You will be picked up from the hotel in the morning and taken to the local agent to pick up the Harley of your choice.  Direct from the dealership we will head out into the mountains to the North West of Vegas.  From the heart of the Vegas strip all the way to the snowline (that’s right a snowline 40 miles from Vegas…………….In May!!) of Mt Charleston.  This winding Canyon road with its hot black surface curling through cactus and scrub brush will give you the perfect taster of the days to follow.

Thursday 27 May

An early morning start to beat the heat will see us ride north out of Nevada and into the canyon lands of Utah.  Zion and Bryce canyons are amongst the world’s most beautiful landscapes.  Scenic Byway 12 runs along the floor of a vast canyon system and runs for miles past multi coloured rock faces and spectacular mountain views.  Our destination this evening is inside Zion Canyon itself where the spectacular hotel setting is the ideal backdrop to watch the sunset over the desert.

Friday 28 May

A short mileage day with the freedom to explore Route 12 and both Zion and Bryce Canyon.  There are endless routes to explore and some great stops along the way.  If you prefer you could head out on a trip on foot into either of the parks.  This is a day for you to explore. Your hotel this evening is situated at the entrance to Bryce Canyon.

Saturday 29 May

Another day in the canyons of Southern Utah on our way north to Salt Lake City.  A longer day which will see us head out towards the great deserts of Western Utah.  Our hotel for the duration of the race is situated in downtown Salt Lake City and is a great base from which to explore the area.

Bryce Canyon

Sunday 30 & Monday 31 May

World Superbikes takes place on a Monday for the first time.  The racing will take place on Memorial Day a major US Holiday at Miller Motorsports Park.  With a transfer to and from the circuit the weekend will be spent with unrivalled access to both the WSB Paddock and Pit lane.  Big Rocks relationship with the Alstare Team will ensure you are able to get right to the heart of the event.  Add to this a couple of good nights out (yes, you can have a good night out in Salt Lake) and you have the ideal break before once more setting out into the desert.

Tuesday 1 June

A ride across Bonneville Salt Flats is something straight (and I mean straight!!) out of a movie.  Sun bleached white salt stretching out to distant mountains.  The group will ride right across this beautiful landscape before breaking away south for the town of Ely for an overnight stay.  Ely is a small but historic town set in the desert along side Highway 50.

Wednesday 2 June

Today you will ride Highway 50 “The Loneliest Road in America.” which follows the route of the old Pony Express trails that once ran the breadth of the country.  Of all the days this one will give you a true appreciation of the size of the country through which you are riding.  Vast views, infinite roads stretching away from your front wheel and tumbleweed blowing through gas stations all confirm your are truly in the heart of a great wilderness.  Our hotel for this evening is situated in the Gold Town of Virginia City.  Wild west saloons, boardwalks and the oldest Bar in Nevada.

Virginia City,  Many a Big Rock group have left here with sore heads!!

Thursday 3 June

Our final day on the bikes will be one of the most spectacular.  From Virginia City we head along the shores of Lake Tahoe and over some of the high passes through the Sierra Nevada mountain range before dropping down into San Francisco.  Once we drop our bikes off it’s into town for a night out and to look back on what will have been one of the most rewarding rides you have ever had.

Friday 4 June
