Any Big Plans?

What are the big ride plans for this Spring/Summer/Fall?

Cape Breton....a 6 hour hwy drive. But then I'm back home, in my old stompin grounds, where I grew up...endless trails...there won't be enough time...can't wait.

Someday, a small RV with a hitch carrier, and exploring all the backroads and trails this amazing country has to offer, for years on end...

That's my plan. :)

I'm leaving for Alaska on Monday.

Skierd, I'd love to hear more of your plans re Alaska. Hope to go myself a year from July.

Also, 3 friends and I are trailering our bikes to Moab from Chicago 2 weeks from today. Paul

On your wr?

I thought you were selling it?

Heading down to Utah in the summer and taking the WR to explore some trails.

Two trips. One mid June to Montana and Idaho. Then mid September I'm going to Colorado, then south to Arizona for what I hope to be most of the winter.

I hope everyone does a ride report. Would love to read them.

We have the same dream.

We're spending a week touring the backcountry of Idaho and Montana. The ride includes the Magruder Corridor, Lolo Motorway and a bunch of high country in Western Montana. Can't wait! I have a number of other (though shorter) backcountry camping trips in the mountians of N. Idaho planned.

How does one go from Towson, Md to a job in Fairbanks?

My guess is by traveling Noth/North West (that's a joke)

It's partly my fault skierd didn't sell his bike. I had given him a deposit and then realized I was too impatient to wait for the title to come back after he paid it off with the money from the sale. Now that he is planning this trip I am glad I didn't buy it because he might not be going if he didn't have this bike that he loves to share the trip with.

UTBDR in late August / early September. Still setting up the luggage / fuel for a week on the WR.

Shaping up a dream and scheme that should pale last years ride.
4 to 6 states, lots of remote trails and roads. I am watching the snow packs and hoping that some of the passes and lookouts I want to go see will be clear of snow by the time I get there. I should have 8-12 weeks to work with.
I have big changes in store, some have already arrived, a couple are being fabricated now.
I am pretty stoked...

Two weeks this summer with my brother. A big loop through Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho.
- Southern section >> TAT across Colorado
- Going north >> Pick up the route from the Forever West ride posted on ADVrider (by pass the section into Utah).
- Nothern section of Forever West route
- Cotinental Divide Trail back to Colorado

Lots of miles. I hope we can complete it. Should be great though.

Closing on a house in close to Waynesville NC in three weeks. Plan on doing lots of exploring up there.

I rode that neck of the woods each of the last 2 years. Just phenomenal riding. You'll love it.
