Alright, rode w/ the 'Ride For Ronnie' (Dio) Cancer charity event. Bout 200 or 300 bikes - the only 'B' was mine (that I saw). Becoming more and more one with the bike. With all the accessories for comfort, I'm kinda diggin' it. I may (next yr) move the arm of my ergo III's downward and place a floorboard instead of the peg. Saw this look on a GW trike and it looked like it may be very comfortable.Originally Posted by unsub
Hey, since you mentioned Baker City and Twin Falls have you rode hwy 12 (ID), 99, and 55 from Missoula down thru Lolo Hot springs, riggins, McCall? Always dug that ride and may be able to do it on the B later this year.
Grand Junction? If you ever have the opportunity, go west of Grnd Junct to a small exit (hwy 128). The hwy isn't like driving on glass but smooth enough. About 1/3 of the way you'll begin to ride along the Colorado River and the Red Mtns all the way into Moab. As you're getting closer to Moab you'll start seeing rafters and tubers drifting down the river. In the hour and half ish I was one this hwy - may be saw 10 cars - and those were closer to Moab. Not to many cars on this old hwy.
Hwy 12 (UT)? Have you ever taken it all the way thru and /or from the North? About 15 min past Green River (East to West) off the 70, there's an exit (hwy 24). The first hour, it's a VERY LONE 2 lane blacktop. (We saw 2 cars in 1 hr). Take that south to Hanksville and then turn right / west (it's still hwy 24) and continue to Torrey - that's the North point of Hwy 12 (UT) - and take that south to Bryce. Friggen fantastic ride. Heading South from Torrey, you'll also traverse thru a heavy forest atop of boulder mountain - 9-11K foot.
There's a reason this one of the most scenic hwys in the world. The thing wasn't even fully paved until 1985.
