On The Road Again...Well Almost

It has been three years since I last posted to this blog. In my last post (July 2010) I was reflecting on the end of a journey that had left me with a new respect for the USA - the country, the people and those beautiful long roads that go on forever.

2013 brings me back for the beginning of yet another American Ride. This time we will cover over 7000 miles (that's roughly 13000k's) from San Francisco to Chicago and back again. We are going through 20 States and will be riding through some of the most stunning scenery the US has to offer. From Yosemite to the Grand Tetons. From Yellowstone to the Badlands of Dakota. We will ride the Loneliest Highway and the Beartooth Highway. We will ride through searing heat in the Mojave Desert and hit snow as we cross over the top of the Rockies. We are going to ride into the little town of Sturgis with half a million other bikers and then go back to Milwaulkee to celebrate Harley Davidson's 110th Birthday.

We are going to have breakfast at Joe Mitchell's Diner in Chicago and then get straight on our Harleys and ride every inch of Route 66 all the way to Santa Monica Pier in California. Then it is the iconic Pacific Coast Highway and the finish riding over the Golden Gate Bridge. On the way we will go through little out of the way towns that time (and inter-states) have long passed by and we will meet some of the good people who call these places home. We will ride through the magnificent Monument Valley and have dinner in the Grand Canyon. We will push on to Las Vegas where we have a date at the Little White Chapel and a ride through wedding. Yes - we are getting married (again) but this time on our Harleys!

This is going to be a fantastic adventure and it starts in seven days. I hope you enjoy sharing another American Ride with us. Catch you in San Francisco. In the meantime have a look at this. It is just a taste. Let The Good Times Roll.
