Not as much as you think. It will be about 17 days. There will be a couple of long days in boring areas on slab to eat up miles and time fast, but there will also be mostly 300 mile days inbetween those. If it gets too rough, than I will slow up a bit an tell work I had mechanical issues :lol:, but the plan is 17 days.

I got the us political map laminated so I can use dry erase markers on it.

I meant I would love the map. But the trip idea sounds good too.

17 days... WOW. I would have to burn allot of vacay... remember I work 7 days straight each shift. But I burn 7 days and get 14 off. That means that i would have to burn the next shift (nites) which requires 8 days of vacay. That's 15 days (3 weeks of my 4) of vacay time. No way I'll be willing to go back to work after doing such a trip....

So 17 days...

Budget?

What kind of miles you looking at? Fig that and divide by bike's mpg times $3.25 (min) per gal of gas.

Even cheap lodging... fig $100 a night divided by 2 if you room up.

Food is $75 a day = $1275

Yeah it will be pricy but you only live once. camping is an option to save cash. this is my only chance like this before me and my wife have kids.

Gas Man 05-22-2010 02:34 PM

See but I don't plan on having kids. LOL

I think you're figuring a bit high per night on hotels. We don't need a Hampton, fucking budget motel works just fine. Get a first floor room and roll the bikes inside. :lol: I laugh, but I'm serious.

Agreed. It's going to be difficult being away from my daughter for that long, but I'm hoping to talk her mom into taking her vacation with her parents at that time next year. They always take a vacay down to Florida or Tennesse for about 10 days in June or July. If they take it in early June, it would work out great.

I didn't plan on it either, but sometimes it happens when you don't expect it. However, I want to do a trip like this before getting married (no, I don't have plans for that just yet, but things are going well with the g/f.)
