Beensie Posted April 15, 2009 Share #26 Posted April 15, 2009 Mike & I are in - he gets to choose the route though since he is the one that drives. I don't care where we end up as long as we get to ride:) Get well Freebird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowawegian Posted April 15, 2009 Share #28 Posted April 15, 2009 http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:t2gG5td47qCJVM::http://www.scandinaviantravel.com/images/NO%20images/fjordboat.JPGJust thought I'd update you on our virtual trip to Norway. Flew in last night early and got our Midnight Venture rented. Stayed at a virtual hostel and were the beds ever comfy!! We took off this morning and within an hour, this was scene we were looking at! My whole life I've wanted to see the Norwegian fjords and thanks to this virtual trip I've finally gotten to experiance it!! We've rented the bike for a week and are having a ball! Oh yeah, BoomerCPO, I made Pioneer Stew for you when you come through Iowa on your virtual trip! Just unplug the crockpot when your done. Don't worry about the dishes. I'll do them when we get home!! Rasberry Cheesecake in the fridge for ya!! Like the locals say "Gutten tag"!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladybug69 Posted April 15, 2009 Share #30 Posted April 15, 2009 Bug and I are in. I think we're gonna head back to Ireland. Another Bed & Breakfast tour but this time on our Venture. I'll let him pick the route. I hope the rain can hold back during the day while we ride. Our prayers are with you FreeBird.

rosebud Posted April 15, 2009 Share #31 Posted April 15, 2009 Newtrk and I are in and ready to leave on our virtual ride. We just have to decide where we want to go. I'm thinking that I want to see the bluebonnets in Texas, then ride the Natchez Trace, from there head on down to Florida and see our youngest daughter. Then after we wear out our welcome at her house maybe we should head up to DC via the Smokie Mountains and Blue Ridge Parkway so that I can sit on the steps of the Lincoln memorial, haven't done that in 10 years now and I can hear Lincoln starting to call my name again. Then we would have to make a detour and go to New Hampshire since we're so close. After that I imagine that we'll have to start making our way home, but we'll have make another detour to see Niagria Fall. And since we saw one daughter in Florida, we'll have to stop in Chicago to see the other daughter before we finally head back to Oklahoma. Of course, NewTrk may have other plans - so we'll have to see where he wants to go on his virtual ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime I'll see it in my mind! Man if I only had the time. We're leaving Atl., Ga and heading up to SD then over to WA with some zig zagging up and down through Wy, Mt, Wy, Mt, Ia, then WA. Then we're heading south down to San Fransico. Then some more zig zagging to hit a lot of sites in Ca, Hoover Dam, the over to AZ, Ut, Az, Ut, Co then 1,550 miles home. It ain't the 4 corners but boy at the sights we are a going to see. We are spending 3 nights in Billings for STAR Days. This is not a Virtual trip this is an actual trip and we are leaving July 16. Anyone want to ride along just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheelsonly Posted April 16, 2009 Share #41 Posted April 16, 2009 How many days you going to be gone??? Riding the Cascades is very cool and up the Pacfic highway to the Redwoods would be a blast, Leaving from Atlanta too Very Very Tempting I think I would like to talk with you!

Guest Saddletramp Posted April 16, 2009 Share #43 Posted April 16, 2009 I put my check in the mail yesterday morning to Freebird's address with a little extra left over. My virtual ride is a perimeter ride of the US with an X across it to finish up. I'm figuring approximately 15000 miles over the summer. I'll stay in touch.

twowheelsonly Posted April 16, 2009 Share #44 Posted April 16, 2009 I would love to go but I can't go for that long unless I want to lose all my customers, maybe I could ride up to the Yamaha Days then head up to good old beautiful Briish columia, see my mom and sister, ride some of B.C. they have some great roads there too..hey! then ride to Alberta see my girls and see the Rockies then head back, I can only take about 10 to 14 days to do it so.. Are you riding anywhere this weekend?? I was thinking about riding up to Suches then Vogal, Russel Scenic highway and back home on the weekend!

YamaDuck Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share #45 Posted April 16, 2009 I wish I could but I have some business in Girard, Ga. Some friends and I have to take the truck over (bummer) and I'm not sure about Sunday. If the weather is nice I'm up for a ride on Sunday.

YamaDuck Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share #47 Posted April 16, 2009 http://www.allamericanpatriots.com/files/images/maine-lighthouse-sunrise.jpgHere is a picture of a beautiful sunset along the Maine coast. My Virtual Ride is very relaxing. The good thing about it is I can really see in my mind (with the help of the puter) what I am missing and hope to see someday. If people keep this post going and hopefully include some pictures it will give us all some ideas on where to ride in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosebud Posted April 17, 2009 Share #48 Posted April 17, 2009 We made it to Texas today on our virtual ride. The bluebonnets are just beautiful this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
