RE: whats the best ride you've ever done
I did a ride in June with several forum members that was over all the 10,000 Ft. + passes in the State of Colorado. That was some pretty nice riding and was with some very good company.

From here in Bozeman, MT, I never get tired of going down Gallatin Canyon to West Yellowstone. West is not much of a town, so I usually fill up and keep riding. I like to come back through Ennis (turn left/west at Hebgen Lake) and Beartrap Canyon. Or, going from West into the Park and out through Gardiner and up Paradise Valley. All nice rides.

Did the Cabot trail, PEI, some of NB coast about 3 weeks ago.
Approx. 1k miles in a couple days, amazing, I'd highly recommend it.

We haven't taken a long ride yet but we ride a lot. Our trips usually are between 2-3 hundred milesby the timewe get back to the house. But I have to say that anytime I'm with my wife Sandra the ride is always the best.

RE: whats the best ride you've ever done
My best motorcycle ride was about 15 years ago from Cima, CA to Goffs, CA on a Honda XR600R with a friend on a YZ Yamaha. We unloaded at Cima, took a little used gravel road to the east side of the Hackberry Mountain range and then took a broad desert wash south to a powerline road. Then we went on south to Goffs on the first two-track we saw. It was 90 miles of the fastest sort of desert riding. We had lunch, gassed up and returned on approximately the same route. In some places of the big wash, we were running 70/75 mph. We got back to the haul truck in Cima and met up with some dual-sport riders. They asked if we knew about the establishment of the Mojave National Desert Preserve. We didn't. It had become official three weeks beforehand. If we had been stopped while riding off-road in the preserve, we probably would have faced huge fines. No wonder we got some strange looks when we arrived in Goffs on strictly off-road bikes. Great scenery, great desert riding and a great hamburger in Goffs. ...... BC
