Destinations are set, but the Journey is open

I have all my landing spots finally tightened up, but how I'm getting there, well, that going to be up to me.  Maybe it will be highway, maybe it will be backroads, maybe I'll change my mind halfway in between?  There is something to be said for being able to turn off a GPS and just using the sunrise and sunset as a compass.

So what is landing?  Landing is where I'll need to be and when.  Here it is folks:
MI for Tega Cay S.C. - Ride on the May 24th with a group.
Bentonville AR - May 31st Ride with a group
Atlanta GA - June 6th Ride with a group 
Panguitch UT - June 11th - June 14th - Working a rally (camping) 
Dallas TX - July 3rd - July 9th or 10th...This is a ride north into Oregon and back. I will not be riding with these road dogs the entire time.Likely I will break off once into Oregon.
Seattle WA Variable - Visit the Loeding's
Las Vegas NV July 31 - Because I will not be hot and sweaty enough by mid-summer.

By the time I leave LV, I'm sure I'll be running on fumes, both mentally and physically.  Working my way back to MI through Utah to see my Wife's parents Jill and Wayne, and her Brother Alex and his family.

There are a few holes in my schedule, which I will use for road and weather time.  It's physically going to take me a bit of time to get where I'm going, and for those of you that do not know...I CAN'T STAND riding in the rain.  There are enough knuckleheads out on the road when the weather is respectable.  The knucklehead factor jumps drastically in the rain.

If you live around these cities, or possibly between these routes....Keep a sofa and washing machine open, as I may come knocking.

Cheer to the road.

  2. Wow Matt! We never know where life will take us--just taking the first step sometimes is the hardest! I just have to say it---I have never been so proud and in awe of you and the man you have become! I still think of that little boy I helped get ready for his first dance :) Enjoy the ride and be safe. Prayers are with you all the way!
