Advise on best ride routes from Atlanta to Seattle early May
I have a big trip planned to ride from Atlanta GA to Vancouver Island, I need to arrive there on May 8th.. I am sure some of the roads I would like to travel will be good and I am planning to try to do as much back roads as possible.
I am concerned about the west coast mountain passes due to snow but I can avoid most places if I have to.. I plan to check with the Highway Depts before I plan going over any mountain passes, I am planning on camping a couple of nights then hosteling/hotelling it the other nights.. I would need to leave about April 30th to May 1st to get there by the 9th.. My plan is to Ride from Atlanta to Seattle WA then take a Ferry to Vancouver Island. I have never done a solo trip like this before so I appreciate any good advise from my fellow riders.. important things to take for a long road trip
FYI I have new tires, Heated riding gear, a good saddle and my bikes been serviced so I have all the gear I think I need just need some good routes going North West that I can ride that will keep me covering the country in an efficient time frame
I have ridden 500 to 700 miles per day with not too much problems.. I usually need a 3rd day to rest up so I can probably knock off a couple of hundred miles on that day, I plan to ride the super slab if I need to catch up on my time, subject to weather or other delays, I have tentatively picked back roads that travel through or by the following cities:
Proposed Ride Route
Atlanta to Nashville TN,
to St. Louis,
to Kansas City MO,
to Denver CO,
to Cheyenne,
to Jackson WY
to Idaho Falls ID,
to Spokane WA
to Seattle
to Victoria BC
Thanks for your help and tips
