Routes / Two Weeks/Early Oct/900 miles max

« on: July 20, 2017, 11:47:41 pm »

That's my criteria and I am having a hard time deciding where.  Then I had an aha moment and remembered how you helped me out two years ago so here I am again. 

Some ideas are Southern Tier from San Diego to El Paso.  One thing I like about an AC route is meeting other riders. 

El Paso to San Antonio via Big Bend (probably top of the list right now).  After spending a year touring in Australia, wide open desert scenery has its hooks in me. 

St George UT to Denver.  Maybe getting a little late for this one. 

Las Vegas to Albuquerque via southern Utah. 

I probably cant go wrong with any of those but as always, I would love to hear about some roads or highways that are outstanding.  I am open for anywhere in the southern US that will still be warm to hot. 

Thanks!

General Discussion / Northern Tier or better idea?

Hello,
First time posting here and looking for a little advice.  I live in Vancouver BC and I have three weeks off this summer and exploring my options.  I have already ridden from Seattle to the MT/ND border and have the opportunity to get a ride to where I left off 6 years ago and continue east on the Northern Tier so that I can eventually make it across the US.  I can probably cover 1200 miles during those 3 weeks. 

I would like to tick off riding across the US but also open to other options like riding south along the Pacific Coast but I have heard the traffic can be pretty bad during the summer which doesn't appeal to me.  I have toured pretty extensively in BC so want to spend my time in the US. 

Leaning towards continuing east on the NT but I don't get 3 weeks off very often so just want to make sure I use my time wisely.   Head south or go east or???

Thanks,
Paul
