Sounds like a fantastic plan...No planned down days?

I don't mind every day on the bike, sometimes travel mates may not. We always build in a few off days just to cover any unplanned events. The plan on paper always can be tweaked for us.

just saw at least one day off in your plans

See you in Alaska in July. I'll be making my way down though. Taking the TCAT out to NY for the rallY. Just got stuck in Flagstaff by a late spring snow storm.

Hoping to get a couple of days when I get to Fairbanks, then we have a couple of days on the trip south, A week in Santa Rosa but I might nip over to Joshua Tree for a day or two to see the guy that sold me the 1150. Then 2 days in the second half of the trip.

If you do see us,stop and say hi, I'll b e on a WA plate 1150 with a bunch of brits with strange plates (black letters & numbers on a yellow background)
