2021 Ride Planning - with "Freedom" from COVID-19 insight or at least on the Horizon
With "Freedom" from COVID-19 insight or at least on the Horizon, who is planning their 2021 Rides?
I get my second vaccination on Wednesday, March 3rd.
On March 20th I'm heading to meet three other vaccinated friends in Tucson for a couple of weeks of riding in the AZ/CA/NV area. I'll trailer to Alamosa CO and one of my friends and I will ride from there, returning before April 15th so I can finish my taxes.
Next will beis the BMWMOA Rally in Great Falls.
As Canada looks like it is a "no go" there will be no run to Dawson City for "Dust to Dawson" beforehand.
I'll ride the Bighorns on the way to Great Falls, spend a night in Red Lodge, then head to the Rally on Thursday. I think I'll ride the "Highline" MT #2 on the way home.
SWMBO and I will take the travel trailer somewhere to avoid the Sturgis Madness, likely returning around Mid-August.
My big ride for the year will be to attend several events out West all associated with the FJR groups/people/friends I love to ride with.
First is the National FJR "Rally", NAFO in Glenwood Springs CO August 26-29th. This is a ride in the daytime and parking lot social event in the evening.
From Glenwood Springs I'll head West to a great event over Labor Day weekend near Yosemite, "YFO", YFO is put on by a great lady from Northern CA, Tyler Risk. Loosley associated with the FJR group it is truly a gathering of many different bikes and people.
YFO is based at the Virginia Creek Settlement, a resort a few miles South of Bridgeport CA on US 395.
After YFO I plan to head West and North eventually reaching LaPine OR for the tenth annual "Reuben Run" another FJR associated event that is now comprised of all sorts of motorcycles and people that come to LaPine for the best Reuben Sandwich I've ever eaten.
I'm hoping to head straight West and be able to ride North on CA-1 recognizing that CA-1 is presently closed at Fish Creek.
I'm hoping by the end of summer it is back open again. I've ridden CA-1 several times but always from North to South.
I'll ride CA-1 North as far as Fortuna and then head East on CA-36 to Red Bluff before taking back roads North to La Pine.
After the "Reuben Run" I'll again head North and East working my way back home to Spearfish staying off the interstates and stopping along the way to see some friends in Idaho and Montana. I'll probably head East over the Lolo Pass among other interesting roads along the way.
As always I'll be prepared to camp but intend on moteling it for the bulk of the trip.
Enough about my plans, what are some of yours?
