Hello'
Im riding with a buddy from Vancouver down the Coast to San Diego and then over to Vegas and back through the mountains. We are leaving next month from may15-june1 (ish)
Day1- Vancouver to Astoria https://goo.gl/maps/hjPsQ
Astoria to Eureka or Crescent City https://goo.gl/maps/VA0nf
eureka E36 loop Moved Permanently
Cali shoreline highway to San Fran https://goo.gl/maps/yAAyJ
vegas to reno? https://goo.gl/maps/FXLvl
reno to portland? https://goo.gl/maps/eyGSj then home
Thats the gist of the ride we are thinking about doing.
The most important part of the ride is to get in some great riding, so if you can offer any advice for alternative routes or ideas of must rides it would be appreciated. Such as I'd like to ride to the Grand Canyon or hoover dam but not sure of what is best route to get there.
Also looking at california there is a lot of 'places' I recognize the name of but no clue as to where is worthwhile to stop and check out and explore. Basically what are the 'must-do' in Cali/anywhere on our trip. We are in our mid-20s so stopping at wineries is not high on the list of 'must do'. We haven't booked anything except for the time off. We figured we will see what its like and have the freedom of staying longer/shorter in some places more than others. The route back from Vegas I am most unsure of what is the best riding/scenic route. We expect to be staying in cheap motels/hotels along the way. My fz6 is set up for touring and he has a street triple.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
thanks in advance!:thumbup:
