    AM LONG RIDE 2017
    Condensed Version

    If you are around these areas during these times and interested to ride along or meet up, let me know VIA private message. No guarantees I'll be free since I already have people showing me around during most of the ride.

    A couple of times where someone could prolly catch is May 20 - May 24 and June 24 - 28.

    So anyway, below is my general plan for those who are interested and I will try to post when I can.


    Saturday, May 20 – Wednesday, May 24: Southwest U.S. and National Parks Days

    Thursday, May 25 – Sunday, May 28: R3 in California

    Monday, May 29 – Sunday, June 4: Western Coast into Canada

    Monday, June 5 – Friday, June 23: Calgary to Alaska/Hopefully Dawson and Back

    Saturday, June 24 – Wednesday, June 28: Back into states (MT, ID, WY, CO) and National Park Days

    You can have mine. I had an incident this weekend on the d/s bike. Coming down a hill, hit a rut,broke my ankle. Had surgery on Sunday. Off my feet for 4 to 6 weeks. He put a plate in,with screws and staples. One bummed out Cdn. If you go through Edmonton, stop here if you'd like. Always a room and garage here for you with us. Please drive safe, as well as have fun! [​IMG][​IMG]

    Update...

    I've had an amazing few days!!

    Rode into Utah, made friends at the Utah sign, I've been camping with them, spent yesterday in Zion from sun up to sun down, and noe heading to Bryce.

    All is well so far and I'm extremely tired. I hope tonight I'll have the energy to write when I enter my tent.

    For now, a few photos...

    Peeps, get out and ride! Aside from a room I got the first night (I'll explain later), I spent 70 bux in gas to get to Zion, 80 bux for national park pass that will get me in all parks on this trip and a few bux on eats.

    For so little you can experience so much...whether you go near or far, just go. I cannot implore you enough. It's so wonderful for your heart!!

    Did you go to the top of Angel Wing? Nice photos. Bryce is fascinating.

    Awesome AM! Are you still planning on coming through LA/OC on your way up to R3? You and I still haven't met face to face and since I am not going to make R3 this year, unless I get to meet up on your way to R3, I may not get a chance this year.

    Soooo, quickly while I'm stopped for gas:

    Rode all day yesterday. Did Scenic 12. Mind blown clear the eff out if my head. Can't believe I was there, that it existed. Multiple alien-like worlds you ride through and 9600 foot summit on mountain that belongs in Colorado!! Ride it someday!!!

    I did go to Bryce which was beautiful, but the 12 beat it out of the water...

    2022 miles on moto so far. Excited for R3!!!

    Here are a few photos from Scenic 12 in Utah[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Yes thats it! Thought I recognized it. Stayed the better part of an afternoon up there about 7 years ago. Just had the name wrong. Angels wing is in Glacier national, you need to go there too. Then you can do the Beartooth Hwy in montana, Nat Geo has voted it the most senic road in north ameria. Safe ride girl.

    Zion is in the middle of some of the most spectacular scenery on the continent. I was through that area in June of 2015 on 4 wheels. But at least they were under a new M3, so no complaints!

    Scenic 12 certainly looks like a place I will need to ride sometime.

    Ride on, keep posting, your passion for traveling on two is a smile-maker!
