Wow, this does not sound good!

Maybe we have to shuffle our routes....

Route Day 4 & Day 5

Still got the feeling Niagara is doable.

If we do day 4 like this:

And Day 5 like this....

..

We could do it and be back in WV in a few days!

Let's see what will happen.

Jan is still in doubt. hope he can make it.

Route 3 March 28-3

For this day we planned to meet the former owner of the Blue ST, Bob Schulz.
He lives in Charlottesville and will join us.
Also we would like to meet the owner of Flash2Pass to discuss his product line.
Flash 2 Pass

I do not think with these meeting we will end in Washington, but that's fine.

Route Day 2 March 27

Basically a big part of Blue Ridge Parkway, combined with some good tips we got from the STOC and motorcycle tourers forums.

Looks like a great start for the rest of the ride.

Route Day 1

For our American friends I will start writing in English from now on.

Here is the plan for the route of Day #1, March 26 2010.

We will start in the morning to pick up the rental bikes in Kodak, TN.

To get used to the new traffic, roads and bikes this day will not cover a long distance.

This is the route

Maar er komen ook alternatieven.

Bij sneeuw gaan we niet naar Niagara...

Toch een alternatief

Mocht Niagara ijzel sneeuw en meer ellende geven, dan gaan we voor de muziektoer.

Nashville, Memphis, Batom Rouge, New Orleans...

Blues, country, jazz en rock' n roll!!

Ook niet verkeerd!!

En anders gaan we gewoon West Virginia door.
