I estimate that's about 1600 miles of super slab in three days, which is a mighty fine daily mileage without back roads and stopping to set up/strike camp. I would re-evaluate the time/speed/distance aspect of your trip. Good luck and enjoy your vacation.Catchina wrote:I am planning a two week ride in July from Rochester NY to Colorado and back.

I figure 3 days to CO, a week there (staying with a friend near Denver) and 3 days back.
I looked that up and it is right by rt 36, will stop there for sure.machew01 wrote:Consider U.S. 34 across Nebraska or U.S. 36 across Missouri and Kansas.
Just northwest of Lebanon, KS is a small park that is the location of the geographical center of the conterminous U.S. - or something like that. It's a pleasant little primitive camping spot and photo opportunity. CamFarm and I camped there on our way back from Boise, ID in 2006. Your plan is giving me ideas!

Yes, I suspect you are right. Perhaps it will be more like three nights and four days of riding to get there.STDocLizard1 wrote:I estimate that's about 1600 miles of super slab in three days, which is a mighty fine daily mileage without back roads and stopping to set up/strike camp.
