I went to the final Bike and Classic Car Show at O'Tooles last night and my record is perfect; I have not won any of the prizes. But, I did run into two more guys who had some good tips on riding cross country. I'm researching some of their recommendations and will include them in upcoming posts.
Other things learned are:
1. Aleve is a life saver for us old "creaky bone" types
2. Smart water is recommended over other bottled waters
3. Make sure tires and brakes are up to a long ride; before leaving.
4. Pick your campsites carefully; (this guy must be talking to McManus about lions and bears)
5. There are nice hotels that will put in 4 king size beds so you can save money by doubling up or even 4 in a room (us submarine veterans know all about that stuff)
6. Premium gas is hard to find in some of the western states; this one requires some looking into (a can of octane booster is probably a good thing to have along for us Harley riders who require premium fuel)
I'm looking for some route maps of Beartooth Pass and Chief Joseph Trail and Roosevelt National Park on the border of North Dakota and Montana.
That's all for today

You mock me now about the bears. it'll be a different story when one of 'em picks you up like a chicken leg, you betcha.
ReplyDeleteI'm not mocking you; the guy I talked to was serious and that made me think you were actually on to something. Mock a journalist? that would surely get me investigated.
