Ride for 2011

OK, so I hadn't really planned for a blog for this year, but a few people had asked so here I go. Nothing really spectacular for this one. I plan to ride to Toronto and back, but take in a few States I haven't ridden in before, like Colorado and Nebraska. I would like to avoid the Chicago area heading East, but may hit it home-bound. Also, Sturgis is happening the first week of August, so I may have to work out a bypass route for my return. Nothing against Sturgis, been there done that, but getting a motel in the area during the happening is hard, especially as the rates are jacked right up, and getting one for a night impossible. So the basic directions are below. I have a stay over in Omaha, and also Rochester NY to visit friends. Notice it is mostly Interstates, but that is to get the general direction of travel and I have no time constraints this year.

With such great weather, it looks like D day is Wednesday 6th July. The bike is cleaned and serviced, chomping at the bit; I haven’t packed yet, but have most things ready. I’ll update once on the road.


Theoretical route.
