Surly Disc Trucker set up for desert touring

Just an impromptu stop on the side of Amboy Road, just south of Roy’s Cafe September 22nd, 2019. (It was 112 degrees) I had intended for this to be footage in some offering with actual production value, but it’s been sitting on my computer long enough. I’ve decided to upload it as it is.
This was a third of the way into that year’s route which started in Vegas – Pahrump – Death Valley Junction - Furnace Creek – Badwater Basin- Shoshone – Parker – Amboy – Twentynine Palms, then east to Flagstaff, AZ via Prescott, Jerome, and Sedona.
Two years earlier I had ridden from SF Bay, over Yosemite, down the Owens Valley, across Death Valley, Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, up the side of Lake Mead, St George, UT, Zion, then down to the north rim of the Grand Canyon. (The interim year, I did 1,200 of Oregon/Ca coast)
