FJR ride prep - stage 2.8

by smthng 21. July 2008 08:43

Still working on it, but I'm now REALLY close. ;)

I got everything mounted and all the appropriate wiring stuff routed all over the place.  Tonight, I just have to hook up two power lines and slap all the body work back on.  Then the bike is DONE!

I still have to switch out the headset in my helmet and install one for the wife's helmet, but those are both only 15 minute jobs.  Then, it's just down to packing up my gear and ready to roll out Wednesday morning at 5 am (EST).

The basic plan is as follows:

  • 23rd - 1500 miles to Burlington, CO - stop for 6 hours sleep
  • 24th - 200 miles to Golden, CO - meet up with wife and the rest of the FJR group
  • 25th-27th - unknown miles touring the Rockies.
  • 27th - 550 miles to Yellowstone National Park
  • 27th-29th - unknown miles touring Yellowstone
  • 29th - 70 miles to a ranch in Cody, WY to spend the night
  • 30th - 470 miles to Mount Rushmore

After that, it gets a bit hazy.  But, we have at least another 2100 miles to go before we get home in the begining of August.  So, that's a total of about two weeks with 4900 known miles.  I'm guessing we'll add about 500 unknown miles, so that's well over 5000 miles on the road. 

Good times! :)

I'll be posting up here with short updates.  Basically, I'll post up cities we stop for gas at when we're actually moving.  I'll post up longer accounts when we get the chances to settle in at night if there's an internet connection. :S
