Tiny Bike to Alaska 2016 (Planning and Bike Prep)

27 pages and Elvis hasn't left the building.

Haha yep. I'm leaving Monday morning.

Just got back from a short ride and got the fire going. Got some travelers stopping by for the night tomorrow. Then a bit of yard work and I'm done with NC for three months

Happy trails from Me and Mrs Trip. Fellow tiny bikers looking forward to following along...

Will u be carrying any tracking devise? I will have a Spot on me. The wife won't let me ride without it on me

^^ Posts 174 & 175.

Yes I will. I have a few (very) friends who want to follow along. I created a Spotwalla page called "Tiny Bike to Alaska 2016". I guess I did it right.

Safe travels...looking forward to the reports and videos.....goooood bye.

Thanks. I'll have small updates along the way. Nothing fancy.

Hope you have a great and safe trip.

Hey Tim, been following along again. FYI, in Salida here this Saturday afternoon. Snowing hard. It ain't pretty. Supposed to straighten up by Mon. Tues though. . If I remember correctly, you will be coming through Buena Vista. It would be great to meet up with you. We will see. Travel safe. Terry

Hey Terry,

I will be in Boulder on Wednesday and start across CO on Thursday. Looks like the weather will be good then for a few days. I will PM you when I get near to Salida. Look forward to meeting you. Hope it works out.

Wed. 4th, Thur. 5th and Fri. 6th are pick of the litter, Sat. 7th, Sun. 8th and Monday 9th are showing 90% chance of disappointment.

Well Colorado awaits your return. And we await sunny days as well. Bring it on.

Hey there Tewster2, I rode up to Alaska from Utah before heading south to central America on my Honda CRF250... I was lucky to meet Stefano on the way on a WR250 We rode a month together, it helped keep us both sane as the ride up there on a 250 doing 40-55mph can be a little dull. You wont regret it! Had the best time ever, just make sure you take an eye-shield for you to sleep with.

Yep looks good....

Get the coffee brewing for me haha.

I like to really look around these days so the slower the better! It's great that more and more people over here are riding the smaller bikes. I've got several folks who will be riding part of the trip with me. Will be nice to have company who know the areas.

Have a great trip and if you're near Great Falls give us a shout!

Hey I'll be coming right through downtown Great Falls on my way to Glacier. I'll PM you to see about stopping by.

I figure you're loaded up and hoisting the sails on your prairie schooner this morning. Have a great time and post a teaser pic now and again. All the best, Rich
