2016 Ride Plan

[Daiku]

If you find yourself in or around Boone, NC, (The High Country of the Blue Ridge) feel free to pm me.  I can offer a meal (or two), a guest room, hot shower, and two barking dogs during your visit.  Some most excellent roads and vistas all throughout this area.

Safe travels!

Thanks for that offer. I'm going to ride Deals Gap, just to say I've done it, which is already a bit off my direct route. Then heading directly south. But thanks a lot for the offer.

Thanks for that 'heads up'. I suspected that would be the case. I've ridden roads in northern California that were twistier than Deal's Gap claims to be. I'll see how the mood takes me when I get thereabouts.

The Santa Cruz mountains are full of some very, very good roads.  Back in the 80's I used to commute about 60 miles each way on my bike over these roads.... it was wonderful.

Thanks for that. I got to do the Angeles Crest Highway on Sunday which was a treat.

Depending on where you make it in PA let me know, shower, a/c bedroom etc is offered.  My best advice from my experience stay out of Arkansas.  The only place I went on my Tiger that I couldn't wait to get out of.  (no offense to others here, I just got treated far too badly by everyone I came across there).

Thanks for that. I ended up crossing the country directly west form Florida to Los Angeles.
