I'd love to - gotta see whats going on as time gets closer... IF not I might find a way to meet up with you on that Alaska trip you're taking and ride a little with you.


That would be excellent.

Still scaling down the what to bring list and have a contact in Ft St Johns,BC who I can mail my sleeping bags and tent to as I won't be needing them till I get to the ALCAN.

The biggest hurdle will be putting in for the VACA time...I'm thinking I'll get the full 5 weeks no problem. My wifes boss is a bitch and she may only get 3 weeks in which case I will fly her home from where ever we are in 3 weeks and riding home myself the rest of the way.

I was wondering how long you were planning on that trip. I get 5 weeks vacation, but I can't take all five weeks (2 max) at the same time (without the approval of Olympus). :icon_rolleyes:

If I only averaged 350 miles a day it would only take me 28 days or 4 weeks. If I was riding alone and crushing 500-600 miles a day it would only take me 18 days or 3 days short of 3 weeks. So if I can get home sooner than later I will go back to work early and save my VACA for a ride to Asheville once you move there.

I bet I go crazy, quite work and am never heard from again

10K - slow and stead it the only way!!

I'm thinking - catching up with you on your way back and riding into the NE with you... At least that would be my ideal sitch. We'll see as time gets closer.


You can have it cheap.
You can have it fast.
You can have high quality.
PICK ANY 2....

Several things would have to fall right for me to make it, but it's a posibility. It would be cool to roll with yall on BI's way back. :icon_thumbsup: lol.... that would be about 7500 miles round trip for me.

That would be excellent if it works out.

I'm planning solo so if anything else materializes that would be extra better and not something counted on.
