Bungie
FrostBack #2 - IBA # 44620
It started when one rainy night when I realized that WCR on Vancouver Island, SW-FOG in New Mexico and NAFO in Tennessee were on 3 consecutive weekends. How cool would it be string them together. I'd mentioned it to Rob (FJRob1300 and the guy who have I travelled well over 25Km with over the past couple of years) and got a little glimmer of a good idea. Flash forward to about a month ago when I mentioned it on Facebook again. Rob's interested. Still, pipe dream of a ride but the seed was stuck in the ground... Next thing I know, Rob tells me he can do it! I can do it, I've taken the summer off for personal reasons and I've got a bit of money banked. I won't be able to take another trip like this for the foreseeable future - my god, the planets aligned!
Out of the blue, Tom (Huron52) shows some interest. He would have to clear it with work yada yada.. I tell myself Tom's just going through the motions hoping he can do it.
An email arrives.. he's in!
The bikes are prepped and two of us went to the darkside for the trip. Come and join us as we travel west, visiting the Black Hills, Devils Tower, Chief Joseph Highway, Beartooth Pass, Glacier National Park, hop back into Canada and run the Ice Fields Parkway between Banff and Jasper then onto beautiful Vancouver Island. From there, we head south through the North Cascades, Hells Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and finally onto Taos. We then head into the sun to Knoxville, we might run the best of Ozarks, or, we might hit up the southern States. The roads open to place our bid in.
The 3 of us are T-24hrs for departure. I'll try and update on the road when WiFi is available and time allows. It might be spotty though as we intend on camping when possible.
Time to get packed. Here's the Stalk Tracker linky if were passing by close to you, by all means, take a run out and intercept us.
