    You must belong to them. However, I use then instead of AAA. The beauty about there program is they'll recover your vehicle from anywhere. I had a friend who broke down 50 miles away from help in the Mojave and they came and picked him up. Since I like to explore that is important to me.

    I'm going the first week in July. When are you ?I have been all over Colorado and have some places I want to go see. I may be able to help you plan some if you want.

    Thanks. I just downloaded the Scenic app. I see that it tracks your route, and I believe you can send a pre-made route to it, or use the app itself to program your own route.

    I will experiment with it and check back in.

    I use Tom Tom route planner. Not sure if it's free but here is the link

    Also in my opinion if you are using "avoid highways" then the max distance I ride per day is 350-400 miles. Good Luck
