I booked my room today. So CCRyder and I will be coming from Vancouver together. We plan to be at Keystone on the 18th.
Next is the daunting task of planning the route. When I look at the map it's a bit impressive and exciting (and a bit scary) when I see how far away it is.
I already put together a "first try" using interstates.(lots of rest stops)....so the next will be looking at the secondary highways....

Blues2cruise, good luck with all the mapping.
I almost wish I was coming from Vancouver.

I follow a new highway I haven't traveled before.

I like the word "impressive" instead, Blues, for "overwhelming."it's a bit overwhelming

I look forward to meeting you, Lion Lady, follow, and coffee brake (I do hope she decides it's worth going!), and Wrider & slimcolo if they appear. And now, CCRyder too! On a 950 V-Star, I understand--very nice.

Point taken.....edit made.MZ33 wrote:I like the word "impressive" instead, Blues, for "overwhelming."it's a bit overwhelmingBesides, it will be an impressive feat, and not the first one you've pulled off, either.

950 Vstar
It feels like Christmas Eve...tomorrow I'm picking up my Custom Blue 950 Vstar! I'll post a picture asp...
Yes, Blues2Cruise and I are making the trip to the AMA, and looking at the map it is a long way... We are leaving lots of time to get there and back, plus time for breaks along the way. I am really looking forward to this adventure!!

Lots of "IF's" for me with regard to this convention. My bike is still being restored (by me) and I suffered a traumatic hand injury which Im still waiting on insurance for an MRI approval - it is a sure bet that surgery is in the near future....so I might have to wait til next year - unless I hit some jackpot of some sort and can buy a new bike!!!
I hope all of you who are going will post all about your trip, take photos and note all the good times and you all have a safe and fun trip.

I hope the hand proves to be not too serious.
