Default Road trip!!

My dad and I are taking off on this trip one week from today!! Super pumped, it will be my first long trip and to take it with pops makes it that much better! Check it out and if anyone has any stops along the route or general tips for long trips, hook it up!

Looks like a good trip.
If it were me, I would stay away from Ricmond, roads are rough and there are better ways to go.
How are you packing your gear?

Since that is your leg home, I would drop down to Lynchburg on 29, visit Jack, then to Appomattox, then stay south of Richmond on 460 through Petersburg. Just a thought.

I just wanted to be sure you know how lucky you are, to get to spend this time with your Dad, and go on a great looking Road trip too. I lost my Dad 3 years ago and I miss him every day. God bless both of you and ride safe.

The Cape May - Lewes Ferry costs about $39. for each bike. You may want to ride around and go to the I-295 (Delaware Memorial Bridge) $2.00 each and save a lot of money. If money is not a problem it is a nice ride.

Either way - Have Fun.

I just went on a father (63)/son (27) camping trip (in a car) to Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Bryces Canyon (UT), etc and it was a good experience and great time spent together.
