The stars aligned between a great deal, a seller willing to work with me and my place of employment letting be take 10 days off to do this. I’ve never been more west than West Virginia nor done any multiple day trips on a bike before so I’m looking for o get as much insight as possible while still keeping some of it in-planned and relaxing to make this a bucket list trip.
Background: Scooped a killer deal on a fully setup FJ09 (You name it and this thing has it…other than an auto blipper) with a hair over 3500 mi & so clean you can eat off it out in St George Utah. I bought a plane ticket for 5am September 2nd and took from 9/2-9/12 off of work to get home the long way. Zion, canyon lands, Bryce, Million Dollar Highway, Pikes, Blue Ridge and Deals on the way. I was going to string Zion to Bryce to Moab for the night, Canyon lands & arches to Telluride through the $1000000 highway. Snag the sunrise at pikes peak before slabbing to Knoxville. Grab the blue ridge & deals one day and haul ass up to Boston over 2 more days with a stop in DC or Philly. I’m an aging 28 years old with rather good physical well being.
Whose done such a trip? Any thing you wish you brought with you?
Planned kit: fuel bottles, flat repair kit, external power supply, 12v mini pump, quality rain gear, some light clothes & hiking shoes for off bike visits.
Was thinking of grabbing an aerostich or Hardanger for the trip. Already have good gloves & boots.I’ll be flying out with a large dry bag, helmet & oversized tank bag
