    Nobody wants to ride when I do. So I don't bother asking any more.

    Yeah, this retired gig doesn't suck!
    I'm just back yesterday from a 6 day mostly solo ride to "no place special."
    Saw a few friends along the path.
    All goodness.

    It seems there is a lot of over analyzing and over complicating simple adventures. Start of the riding season - throw on new tires. Change the oil too if it's been parked all winter. Gas you can get about anywhere along the adventure - except for a very few remote areas of the country, so pull in for gas when you're at 1/2 when you're heading into those areas. Very few hotels and cash stations are only cash. So, take a couple of hundred bucks with you. On my 11K journey last summer - I stopped an had my oil changed at about 5K. But again, how many of you are taking an 11K trip?

    In some of the heavy summer nat prk / resort traffic areas, most of the time you'll have to book a reservation especially if you have a lady w/ you (Zion, Telluride, Sedona, Moab, Glacier, Riggens - along lolo pass Idaho, Jackson hole). Otherwise there's no reason to pre-book hotels....just travel for the day until you want to stop for the day.
