Best of the NW Canada/US ride in July

No harm/No foul. I was giving her a hard time about leaving her at home and making this ride.
That was a very nice recovery though. I'll follow this thread and try to work it out to meet you guys somewhere,but rest assured,she is not going to let me go on a multiday ride and not tag along on her bike,that doesn't mean I can't give her a hard time about being a girl motorcycle rider though.
Did I mention that the 750 mile ride was the first half of a 3 day wekend ride of 1600 miles in mid 20 - mid 30 degree temps.

Cool. I have started making reservations and will have a room to share and cut down on costs. Chime in if anyone wants to split rooms.

I just spoke with Mike (Lomax)....and we will probably share a room for most of it. He's still not positive he can make the whole ride but is a solid maybe...lol. No word lately from Hammer on whether he intends to ride along....he indicated he might in an earlier post.

Canuckrider....Mike says you can ride to his place in Armstrong, BC on Fri July 1....then ride with him to meet Charlie and I in Cache Creek for the run to Williams Lake Sat July 2.
