There's 10 of us coming from the Pacific NW. This ought to be an interesting trip for sure. 1200 miles one way leaving on the 3rd arriving on the 5th. Staying 5 days returning West on the following Friday. I guess I should say that's the plan but if I don't get back to work soon, it ain't gonna happen for me this year!

I rode to Sturgis last year from Springfield, MA. and wanted to see the sites along the way, not just jump on the superslab and stare at asphalt for 8+ hours a day. Take route 20 as far as you can..you'll ride through scenic towns with places to take a break, vineyards, plenty of gas stations and bars, miles and miles of corn fields, those big wind farms that i've never seen before..and you'll still be able to do 60/65 in some places. Man..I would love to do it again, ride safe!
Wrote a travel blog for my wife and friends so they could follow along..Here's the link if your bored

I'm in El Paso, TX. That's about 1000 miles one way for me. I have family in northern Wyoming so unless I have people to go with to camp or grap a hotel, I'll stay with them. I'd love to go this year but I'm not sure if I'll be able to. I'm also planning a 1900 mile trip in late June or early July timeframe. 2 trips like that so close together may prove to be a disaster. But if there are any groups meeting in the southwest and headed out, I'd be interested in tagging along.
