After announcing on Facebook last month the planning for the Ride of a Lifetime is taking shape.
The plan is to ride from New York to Chicago and then from Chicago along the Route 66 crossing 8 states
1st Leg = Chicago to St. Louis ,
2nd Leg = St Louis to Tulsa, Oklahoma,
3rd Leg = Tulsa, Oklahoma to Sante Fe, New Mexico,
4th Leg = Santa Fe, New Mexico to Barstow, California,
5th Leg = Barstow, CA to Santa Monica, CA
Then ship the bikes back to New York whilst we get a one way flight back.
Planning is well underway as the Go Pro has arrived as well as the Top Case ( a whooping 56 liter)
This trip we will be staying in Motels / Hotels along the route as well as stopping at all the recommended tourist sights.
I am looking forward to riding from the East side when it will be cooler (heated gear and heated grips ) to Santa Monica on the West coast when it will probably be hot and sticky ride in fully protected bike gear.
Me and my buddy will be connected by our bluetooth communication in our helmets and we will both have camera helmets as well as Go Pro's mounted on the bikes to take the photos and videos of this lifetime trip.
The inspiration here was watching Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman in 2004 complete " The Long Way Round ". Still one of my favorite television series.
