lots of point to point information on road trips in the lower 48.

This thread was started by Traveler, and I thought it was a good idea to have one thread with favorite links to route finding websites.

If you have a favorite place on the web that you go to for help choosing a route, add it here for others to find. Dan

Hi to you all,
If it's planning a route and knowing the mileage between stops and how long it'll take to get you there. {roughly} along with a turn by turn explanation,...... then try "the ride planner" @

I know ....I know,...it's a Harley site but what the heck this might be the best thing they have done. I found it quite useful planning my ride last summer through Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon and Washington.

Hey rickyboy, that is a great site. I used it to plan my trip this summer too. Mind you I didn't even come close to riding the planned route, but it was fun plannig in anticipation of the road trip.

Your avatar looks exactly like a guy I worked with up here.
But he's a Harley guy. He tells me he keeps gettin flashed by women whenever he rides his hog. Must be a Harley thing cause I've been riding rice for 25 plus years and have not yet gottin
the mammary salute.

Maybe we can put them all together and Trip can add a section to the links page. I just received an excellent book, The Essential Guide to Motorcycle Touring, lists a lot of good sites for trip planning.

nomad561 · 09-17-2008, 08:08 AM

Great sites guys.Thanks

rickyboy · 09-17-2008, 03:18 PM

Bosko,
Yes it is a good site, and like you I didn't stay on the planned route either. The GPS kind'a took me in other directions.

unwind2 · 09-23-2008, 09:13 AM

Good idea...thanks all for sharing.

Netnorske · 09-25-2008, 08:30 PM

Here is a great site specific to Washington/Oregon. This guy is a Gold Winger, but has an incredible website including videos of each ride, stops, maps....you name it!

After you decide on a route, go to www.motelguide.com for a listing of MOM and POP motels across the country listed by states. We have used it several times and not been disappointed.

Zoom45 put this link in the main forum.

Here's a link where you can ride coast to tcaost and plan your gas stops:
