SICVIC 0 Posted June 5, 2014 Took a cruise out at Corral today. Its the final countdown before the bike ships. I threw a few final parts on her yesterday and loaded the thing up with everything going down range. Today was to see how the weight did in tighter singletrack. Ranger loaded with road gearing is a whole new level of fun. I recommend it to all! All was good aside from my camp chair attempting suicide by performing a hi speed extract. Oopsie.... As always I made sure to get a few selfies for your entertainment. Nose picking da berms on Kernan.

wildwood 11 Posted June 5, 2014 Where is the bike (and presumably you) headed this year Vic? Your Tour Of Idaho last year was astounding. Sorry if I missed an earlier update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SICVIC 0 Posted June 5, 2014 Well the bike is shipping to Wilmington, NC and I'll meet it there. From there I ride up to Jacksonville, NC and from there I'll start the TAT (TransAmerica Trail) *GPSKEVIN version* I'll ride the TAT out to the Continental Divide and take that north. When I hit WY I'll skirt over to Idaho and do the Tour Of Idaho again. Skirting across WA near Canada I'll start the WABDR (Washington Back Country Discovery) and take that down to Portland, OR There I'll meet a couple guys who are riding the ORBDR and I'll ride along with them until I cross the TAT again. TAT back to the Conti Divide this time going South to the Mexico Boarder. From there I skirt along the Boarder in AZ and jump on the El Camino del Diablo into Yuma. From there I'll putt Anza to the 79 then home. Screen shot. Also has West Coast bail out routes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
