Best of the NW Canada/US ride in July

[Netnorske]

Well it looks like this modified ride has moved to the probable stage! I'm planning a long loop up to Prince George, BC then south through Jasper NP into Montana, eventually riding south on Hwy 93 to Challis, Idaho before heading west back toward Washington. It will end up being between 2200 and 2300 miles. Planned dates will be Saturday July 2 to Saturday July 9.

This will be a pretty aggressive ride....with RIDE being the key word here. This is not an official "guys only" ride, but if your spouse/GF does not come along.....that would be all good. We can make better time riding solo....so give that some thought.

Here is a modified list of overnight stops including mileage and ride times estimated by HD Ride planner:

Super 8 Williams Lake

If you would like to join us from the beginning or join us (or break away) at any point along the way, you are welcome to do so. Drop a note in this thread and chime on in. There are no plans for any real touristy sight-seeing, as the scenery itself will be the main attraction. This is a riders ride....so come prepared to do just that... !

I have reserved a suite for four guests (all accounted for) at the Best Western Jasper Inn and Suites for the evening of Sun July 3. The room has 1 queen bed and three single beds for $305.00 CN (AAA rate including all taxes). I have me, Lomax and Ballast and Canuckrider in the suite.

At all other locations I will reserve a room with two queens beds for either myself....or to share with another rider (Lomax). I would suggest making reservations at these same places when you get a chance.

So far it looks like me, Ballast, Lomax, and Canuckrider anyone else up for a great ride....??? Let me know what you guys think....
