Ill be heading out on July 1 for my "liberation" ride. I think i have everything i need but what i would like is some good input about RT 20 especialy from the mid west to the western zones...once i hit Illinios ill be detouring south to visit an old friend. And im all set on that route...but Rt 20 vrs Rt 90 thats the input im lookin for!.....speed limits, traffic, or anything else that maybe helpful....3500 miles is a long ride to be on a rt that suckkkkksssss.....lol

thanks!

 

Hey MachPilot, you'll have to look me up when you make it to Illinois. I'm about a mile from RT.20 and RT.59....................Bartlett,IL...........you 'll be heading right past.....
Rt.20 has way too many different speed limits. From 30mph to 55mph..........and everything in-between. Nice ride on a bike, though. You go through some small farm (hick) towns. Which direction are you headed.......east to west or west to east? Rt. 90 is actually Interstate 90.............. after you're away from Chicago the speed limit goes to 65mph........... if you're headed west that is......

 

ill be heading east....at first...but its a round trip so...Washington to Mass then back again....

 

Great trip............... going it alone? If you like, I'll PM you my cell if you want to meet up. When will you be passing by to Chicago?

 

Man I am so effing jealous!! That sounds like an AWESOME trip! Sorry I don't have any help on the route, heck I never even get to go anywhere in my cage.

 

Ride safe Brother. If you are in Oregon either way, let me know. I think you have my number.

Rte 20 is a good Sunday ride, 90 is a fast road. If you get sick of the interstate take a cruise on 20.

 

you got it! I still do!...

 

not sure when....Im doing this trip solo...so im going at the pace my body tells me to...maybe around the 5th....

 

If you make it by the 4th, you can join my bar-b-q......................... otherwise it's leftovers on the 5th
