Mostly rides around Colorado. 1 or 2 night camp/rides. I am looking forward to riding out to Monterey for the MotoGP race in July.

The only touring ride I had in 2004 is when I flew to Springfield, IL and picked up my ZRX. Took some back roads down to Kentucky where I jumped on the Interstate which took me to Tennessee. Found some back roads in Tennesse that lead toward The Smokey Mountains National Park. After reaching Gatlinburg it was US441 to Hotlanta and then south on 75 to makeup time.

No "touring rides" but one 1100 mile trip (Ironbutt) in 18 hours. One reckless driving ticket later too. I did get out of the charge though.

Holy crap Cassova, those trees have any soil to grow on???

2004 was pretty much a bust for me. I only had one 1,100 mile ride from Canada to Texas on the busa. More of a straight speed run rather than a "tour". I had some trips lined up but with a surprise deployment to Iraq (here now) and all the required training associated, I only had a couple of weekends free. Had to share those with the wife! 2006 will be different. Wife has a job (U2 pilot) that has her deployed for 60 days and back home for 60 days for a year. Lots of free weekends and riding for me then!

i'm currently a touring rookie, and just started in 05, but here goes anyway. labor day weekend i went out to visit friends in west virginia. ihad the best time, and i can't wait for some more long trips in 06.

total for my first long trip from baltimore to west virginia was about 3 days 800 miles total. like i said, im still a rookie, but i had so much fun, i can't wait to get out on the road again

If you ever get a chance to ride the Cabot trail around the island of Cape Breton,NS,do so. It is a sport bikers paradise. JL from Cape Breton.

I’ll start a new thread for “where did you go in 2005” when 2005 is officially over I still have one more bike trip to do for 2005: Texas I hope the weather cooperates.
