·It's actually more of a road trip than just a ride, but here it is:
THE ULTIMATE RIDE!!!!
:eek :eek :eek
Sunday April 21, 2002 i'm heading south with a friend or two on our bikes.
Our destination: Anywhere cool between Vancouver and Las Vegas, then 2 or 3 nights in Vegas , then back to Vancouver.
So far i'm thinking about visiting:
Portland,
San Fran,
L.A.
San Dieago,
Vegas,
Laguna Seca,
the coastal highways of Portland and Cali,
the Wine Valleys of Cali (yes we're doing the winery tours!),
any great bike shops along the way,
the Dune Park in Oregon,
The Tonight SHow in Burbank, Cali.,
Universal Studios??? Hollywood???
WHerever the road takes us.
Duration of the trip: 2-3 weeks, depending on $$ and butt soreness.
Accomodations: whatever sleeping bag/tent you can carry plus 3 nights hotel in Vegas (location not booked yet)
$$ details:
Gas money for over 3100 miles
Food money (we'll hit all the Mickey D's along the way, where "Two can Dine for $6.99"!)
Two or three nights hotel in VEgas, (the more the cheaper)
maybe a couple of nights in motels along the way
Shopping money for cool bike stuff
(don't worry, we'll win back the cost of our trip in Vegas, trust me.....)
Helpful $$ details:
1: Uncle Visa and Grandma Mastercard (U.S. cards if you can get one (only $30 Cad per year from Bank Of Montreal, i got one for the purpose of the trip)
2: I work at a bank so can get a slightly better rate on cash exchange
Who's in????
Destinations open to suggestions, and if anyone can only come for one week, than that's alright too. MAybe we could have an escort of bikes see us down to Seattle, and make two trips out of it for those who can't get away from work or school?
