Default Summer Road Trips Plans??

Where are y'all headed this summer on two wheels? I just planned a trip to CO. Chandler, AZ to my folks place in Loveland, CO.
Day 1: Chandler to Durango, through Eastern AZ and Four Corners
Day 2: Durango, Silverton, Montrose, Gunnison, Leadville
Day 3: Leadville, Grand Lake, Rocky Mountain Nat Park, Estes Park, Loveland.

Total distance is about 960miles with about 11000ft of elevation change. Will probably do some riding while on vacation up there. The area is awesome for bikes. Can't wait.

My home in the Arizona Mountains to Key West FL about 5 days 2500 miles.

From Key West FL to Homer AK. Hoping to do 9 days or less. Approx 7,000 miles.

From Homer AK back home. 4,000 miles. I ain't gonna be in any hurry on that leg and don't care how long it takes.

1. Edmonton to Calgary, up through Banff and tour through the National Park to Jasper. Then home. Weekend trip.
2. Edmonton to Calgary, to Kelowna, and possibly down to Vancouver. Depending on weather. 5 day trip.
3. Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, Montanna, Yellowstone, Custer's Little Big Horn, Wyoming, Sturgis and Deadwood. The trip home will depend how long and the roads I explore depends on when I can drag myself away from the last two.


Wanted to get a trip down along the West Coast and a day or two in Vegas in this summer but doesn't look like that one will work out. But there is always hope, lol. I am back on the drilling rigs for the summer so I work 2 weeks on and one week off. Trip 2 will have the wife and a few of the other wives and gfs following behind in our 300.
