Supporting Member betoney Posted July 23, 2023 Supporting Member Share Posted July 23, 2023 Last month's trip was on the FJ so this month's trip was on the VFR. This trip was originally planned for right after Memorial Day but the forecast showed lots of thunderstorms throughout the route for the entire duration of the trip, so it got postponed until now. The weather was manageable when riding at higher elevations (a lot of the time I was at least 6,000' ASL and as high as 9,000' at Mt Rose Summit) but the lower elevations were HOT, triple digits on many occasions with typical summer traffic and road construction. I will definitely plan earlier in the year next time. Google Maps showing the California and Nevada portion of the route. https://goo.gl/maps/6mRpNweVXRJrWeLp6 Overall 2,112 miles over 4.5 days with a fuel average of 42mpg.

Supporting Member Heli ATP Posted July 23, 2023 Supporting Member Share Posted July 23, 2023 Looks like a great trip, with you're experience out west you should be a motorcycle tour director in retirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
