for sure!Awesome. DM me if you want to talk trip planning. I've been planning this one all winter and relied on the internet for 'must see roads' so anxious to finally get started. I have 2 weeks baked in for delays, breakdowns, etc just in case.
Yeah, I need to change my language. Around motorcycle riders you just say "I'm taking the bike" but at work where most of my colleagues are mountain bike riders, I get befuddled looks when I say "rode to Asheville this weekend and back" and they're like "no effing way"
i got most of the route mapped out on GMap, just need to finalize it to see daily drive time and make reservations for campgrounds and weekly lodging.
it's frigging June and I only finalized the first week LOL
told the shop i'm taking 2 months off and they're actually very supportive of it. my friend (the shop owner) just told me to go enjoy it and not worry about the shop while I'm still single because he regret not doing it when he had the chance (he literally told me way before "if you want to go somewhere, just go! don't wait for me, don't let the shop stop you from going. just let me know ahead of time so we can schedule less customers while you're gone.") my part time office jobs... they aren't so keen on that lol but i already made my mind if they don't approve it then I put in my 2 weeks lol i don't take home much going to those anyways. but yeah I'm reserving 2 months just so I can be more flexible and should put me just in time to skip the summer season at Glacier National Park so I can do Going to the Sun Road without needing a reservation.
