175 days to go... Hitchin' a ride in an RV with two buddies from L.A. Want to see everything in between L.A. and SD. Hope to get the bikes out to ride through Byrce Canyon, check out the Great Salt Lake, Bonneville Salt Flats, smell the grass in the Thunder Basin and ride through as much of the Black Hills that time allows. It's our 1st time... any words of advice for us "virgins" from you veterans?

Hey Lwood, Don't forget your training wheels. This event is for people who can ride. And after riding by your side side for over 10 years, that's my advice. Just kidding. Chris Lwood is onre of the best riders out there! We're stoked, and are counting the days. PARTY!!!!! Great feedback guys. We hope to meet y'all out there.
