2027 SCMA Four Corners TRUE X
Register HERE
Make some friends... take a ride.
This adventure is tentatively set for June 4th, 2027, but meetings and discussions will adjust this. One major factor we'll look at is how the starting date affects the metro areas we will have to go through. We'll also look at day of the week and time of day for these areas. Metro areas of concern are Miami-Dade, Atlanta, St. Louis, Nashville, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, and the greater New England zone. We can't avoid them all, but good planning will reduce the time in bad traffic. Register so you can be invited to the meetings.
The SCMA Four Corners True X is a major upgrade from the standard Four Corners adventure. In 2024 we did the Four Corners and it was much easier than expected. Yes, it too 15 days, one of which we did nothing due to snow on I-90, but at about 7,000 miles that was not bad. It was an accomplishment, but it wasn't nearly as hard as I anticipated as I turned 72 while on the ride.
The TRUE X version is similar, but quite different. To start with, it is about 11,000 miles not counting your miles to the start and riding home after you finish. You ride to each corner and after each one ride to Lebanon, KS, the center of the USA. You have 26 days to finish. I am creating plans for discussion that target the 20 day approximation. Planning this ride is more complex than I thought it would be due to planning oil changes at the 5,000 mile intervals. For those that rely on dealerships and shops, this is harder to find... but I'm working on it. BTW, finishing TRUE X in 21 days or less gets extra recognition on the SCMA page for finishers. Only 37 riders finished the Four Corners USA in the regular and True-X formats.
If you are interested in this, be part of the discussion. Register. If you back out, that is understandable most of the time. Life happens. The Four Corners ride had 10 riders registered. Only 4 actually completed the ride. The TRUE X will not have days for fun riding. It's about completing this endurance ride. Current plans (they will be discussed and perfected) are to leave the Key West corner on June 2nd, 2027. We may adjust that. You can also join the TRUE X group on Facebook.
Ride safely!
