Ride Across America

[RagWing]

My 60th Birthday is coming up this year and I want to do something special. So for my vacation I will be doing a “Ride Across America” visiting my children. My route is posted at http://www.sarkon.net/Ride/Ride_Index.htm . If anyone what to make this 17 day ride or any part of the ride, let me know. It should be fun, and with more people riding along it will much more fun and enjoyable for me too. While I am visiting with family and friends, there is a lot of places to see and side trips that can be made. You will have lots to do and lots to see. Come join me and lets Ride Across America.

I'm jealous. Your 79 looks better then mine......That's the labor day weekend your starting out on. I may be able to hook up with you from cornfield Ia. and ride along to soybeanfield Ne. Not sure yet. That's still along way away.

Well, if you stay on I-70 out of Denver you will go within a couple miles of me. (Rifle, CO. Exit 90.) I would be interested in hooking up as far as St. George. You plan to do that stretch in 1 day or 2? All interstate, fairly fast moving, but a couple 'scenic' stops here and there if you are looking for a break. MapQuest puts the distance at about 632 miles, just a little over 9 hours travel time. Do-able in 1 day if you get started early.

When i was in the Navy stationed in Beeville, Texas I would drive up to Rifle, CO with my dad to hunt. We would hunt north of you near Meeker on the Peeonce Creek. (Not sure of the spelling). It would be a pleasure to ride with you. If i can figure out how to put up a calendar i will post the schedule.

Ride on!

Have a blast! If you're hitting Vegas, ya may plan on hitting eastern California...like Yosemite. Don't forget Hoover Dam just south of vegas...get off the highways in New Mexico, Colorado, etc.

Most of all, have a blast!

Close, spelling is Pieceance Creek (pronouned pee-saunts creek). I rode through that area a bit today, temp in the mid '40s and it is an easy, but not all that scenic, ride. You come out west of Meeker, make the loop back to town along the White River, then back down to Rifle. Area is well-known for both deer and elk hunting.

I do plan of having fun, but I dont think I can streach out my vacation any more. I will get back to Nashville on Sunday the 17th and will have to fly out to Huston, TX for a week.

I have been trying to talk my brother into making the ride with me but he wants to sell his custom Harley first. (hehehe)

Hay, What ever works for you. I was going to make it on my XS1100 but I just picked up a new Suzuki C90. Today was my forst ride on it 121 miles at 28 degrees, was all I could stand. LOL

I will sell my XS1100 before the ride in September. But what ever you ride is fine with me.
