Daily Schedules

Due to the slower pace of the scenic routes in this area, we have purposely kept the overall daily distance under 200 miles. There will be planned fuel, restroom and scenic stops along the routes. These stops not only allow bikes and riders with smaller tanks and bladders to stay with the group, they allow for more interaction between the riders, and reduce the "Parade Ride" fatigue that is normally associated with large group rides.

Lunch stops will be at or near the halfway point on the ride. Some rides may officially end at lunch stops to allow for individuals who prefer a less  "structured" return ride, but all rides will have a return plan and ride captain for those who wish to remain in a group for the entire loop.

We expect to be back at home base by 6 p.m. each evening.
There are no scheduled or planned evening dinners other than opening and closing dinners.

Ride Plans

Rain Notice!! Good wet weather gear is highly recommended. Although we will not leave in the rain, getting caught by it, or negotiating wet roads is always a possibility and it is not possible to stop the group just anywhere along the highway.
BE PREPARED!
