Leaving Vegas Friday morning. Two days to Oregon, two days there with family then it's off to Montana to see friends, ride through Glacier National Park (again...NEVER get tired of that one) down through Denver across through KC and into Nashville. I will be basing out of Nashville for July and taking a little trip up the Blue Ridge Parkway to meet up with a group in Gettysburg. Lots of riding!!!!
