We do a 7 day ride with another couple every year and this year we're doing it a bit different. Only plan is to head west where it's warmer and will most likely end up on the California coast somewhere. We don't have anything mapped out or even a hotel reservation. Plan to put between 2000 to 3000 miles on the bikes. Spring time has been mostly cold and even snowy here in Utah and it's time for a warm adventure. We leave Saturday, Can't wait.
Not warm right now, that's for sure. Been cloudy and overcast here in SoCal for the past few days and looks like same for the rest of the week. Maybe warm up going into next week. I hope!
In January, I went to a conference in LA. The locals were all wearing jackets and shivering--I thought I was going to get heatstroke. It was really funny--had a good laugh at myself

My kind of trip! No itinerary, no particular destination and no reservations! Wing it the entire way. Have fun!
