Anybody riding from California to the Rally?

**trip** · 04-07-2011, 06:58 AM

I wanted to see if anyone from California or the western states is coming to the rally.

Teri Conrad and Brian Gibson of Kawasaki Corp. are planning on riding to the rally and back to California. I wanted to see if there is anyone that might want to join them on the ride back.

Thanks,
Trip

I interpret Scott's post to say "talk big, ride little"

I am trying to make the national rally work with my schedule, but several things have changed recently and I'm not 100% sure what the next month or two will bring.

If I do go they most likely wouldn't want to ride out I me because I'd be taking a longer northern route and hitting all the new england states. But my route back will be pretty much a straight shot on I-70 and I-80.

That would be an interesting ride with two of MaKaw's people. Someone should join them.

Jared, Trip only said on the ride back. If you make the trip that would be great if you could hook up with them.

I will be riding to the rally from California.
But it will be a few weeks before I start to head home. I have some friends that live about 100 miles from Maggie Valley that I will visit after the rally.

I've met both Brian and Teri. Both are very very cool people! It would definitely be an enjoyable ride back.

One of the things I will be doing after the rally is to go and watch the Civil War Battle reenactment of Gettysburg. that takes place on July 1, 2, & 3 and then I will head home.

You think the 5,000 mile round trip to the middle of the country had anything to do with it??

About the same as Custer would've been for people around here.

Rickyboy is riding out from British Columbia. I believe his route will be by the U.S, maybe he could hook up with them.
