This is a relaxed scenic style adventure bike ride, perfect for the bigger adventure bikes.

This is a point to point ride where we will be spending each night in a different city and motel. You will need to carry all your own gear on your motorcycle.
(Well not this much because no camping this time)
This ride will be mostly paved back roads, and there will be some options for dirt graded roads, This ride is a good ride for beginning riders and riders that simple want a great scenic back adventure. Couple are welcome, but you should be an intermediate or advanced rider.

Ride Plan Maps
I put these ride maps on the web page because I know a few of you love looking at the ride detail and dreaming about the ride. At first glance these maps do not look so impressive, but they are way cool. If you click the Earth or Satellite tab and start zooming in, you can see the ride in incredible detail. I have spent a ton of hours sorting through the details of the ride for each day, so for those of you that enjoy this sort of thing, well enjoy!
