You guys need to come to Nevada with us sometime - average 60-85 miles a day for 4 days

I know DAVE does the trip 1-2 times a year - I make it at least once a year and try for 2.

heading to UTAH (FINALLY) this year for a min 5 day ride alone the piaute system.

Yes it is wide open here in nevada and you can go for days with out even seeing one person. everyone is welcome to come and hang out and ride anytime. i live about a mile from the california line on 395 north.



hey fish or hell cat why not set up for an overnight ride sometime?we could go up into hardscramble or something?

in anycase let me know

In most cases trips like this are doable......getting the time away from work, having the money to go. it takes a bit of planing but can be done.

a few years back I took a month off from work and rode my motorcycle to Alaska. I had asked my boss 2 years ahead of time for the time off.

you know the saying we have time for the things that we find important.

Drive an older truck, don't get that giant house, don't worry about keeping up with everyone else.

next thing you know you are doing what you want when you want :wink:
