Mandatory Gas/Receipt stops.

Mark down your odometer mileage on your gas receipt or take a picture of your gas receipt with the date, time, address in front of your motorcycle’s odometer.

1 – Burnside, AZ
2 – Moab, UT
3 – Gunnison, CO
4 – Clines Corners, NM

5 – if you get to the Village Inn after midnight then get a final receipt and odometer reading at Circle K on Juan Tabo and Lomas.

Burnside, AZ – about 206 miles from Albuquerque, NM

Two stations available, Giant and Exxon.

  1. Giant is open 24/7
  2. Exxon is open 6am to 9pm.

Exit 20 at Gallup, NM north for 7 miles then take a left on “Code Talkers Highway – 264”. Possible gas stops at Gallup, NM or Window Rock, AZ depending on your tank range.

Gas Stop - 01

Moab, UT – 228 miles from Burnside, AZ

Multiple stations available.

Once you pass Moab on UT-191, you will turn right on UT-128 and have a nice twisty ride along the Colorado River on a tight two-lane road with no shoulders but turnouts along the way.

When you reach the UT-128 junction you can turn either left or right to get to I-70. The road to the right is the google maps solution but the 7 miles are wavy, and you will likely slow down a bit. The road to the left is about 2 miles to I-70 and likely wavy as well.

Gas Stop - 02

When you reach Grand Junction, CO and turn south on CO-50, you’ll be on your way to Delta, CO. The Google Map directions take you to a cutoff path that circumvents part of I-50. This represents a short time and distance saving. I would consider this option if you want to simply follow CO-50.

 

Delta Turn-Shortcut

 

Gunnison, CO – Gas Stop has several gas options.

After Gunnison, you follow CO-114 towards Monte Vista and then south to Antonito, CO. Antonito is about 148 miles from Gunnison. You should gas at this stop as you won’t find a gas station southbound for another 100 miles.
You will have at least a few gas stops before you hit the last mandatory gas stop.

Clines Corners, NM

One gas station/truck stop. Open 24/7. After Clines Corners, it’s a quick 50+ miles back to the Village Inn on Juan Tabo in Albuquerque, NM
