Enjoy the ride & safe travels!! Wife & I were planning a similar trip this summer but I decided to delay it until a later date to allow for more planning / prep! (We ended up riding around UT (Moab), Yellowstone, Bear Tooth, & Grand Teton areas instead.) Your trip should serve as another good point of reference for a future ride! Can't wait to hear all the details! | ||

Mike, Good luck, I'd love to be riding with you. My wife wouldn't let me go there without her. | ||

It looks like they will be riding right past my place. If someone has their number let them know they have a place to stay tonight if they can make it to Waverly, IA. | ||
| Xdigitalx |
Thats very cool! I wonder, if they stop and take pics and post them up on google maps could we see them? I wonder if there are any live cams along the route. | ||
| Iamike |
Here is a map of cameras along their route tonight. http://http://hb.511ia.org/main.jsf?minLat=41.605& minLon=-91.8261&maxLat=42.0279&maxLon=-91.4252 | ||

| Fltwistygirl |
Very cool! Have a fabulous time and be safe. Looking forward to the ride report. | ||
| Xdigitalx |
just saw them pass Wasbi!! | ||
| Iamike |
Looks like they are headed West on I-80, won't go by my place after all. I saw 2 bikes go by at 8:31 also but wasn't sure if it was them. | ||
| Spike240sx |
Looks like they stopped in Iowa City for the night. Last update was 2 hours ago. Too bad they didnt stop in Des Moines. Only an hour and 45 mins away. I would have gladly hung out with them and taken them out for a nice cold one! | ||
| Wolfridgerider |

Mike . . .keep and eye peeled for my Kiwi friends Eric and Corrinne. They are about a week ahead of you on a similar route. You might cross paths as they turn for home. They are two up on a black M2 with white fern leaf accents on tail section. Ride safe, ride well . . .enjoy he journey! |
