Title: TSDAT Aug. 9-11
Post by: Bogus Jim on August 05, 2013, 08:23:09 PM
I have some new camping gear I want to try out before a longer trip this fall, so I am tentatively planning to ride the TSDAT this weekend, if the weather looks decent. Probably leave sometime Friday noon and ride pavement (highway 44) to the eastern side of the route, south of Mitchell, then take Sat/Sun to ride back to RC.

Anybody want to tag along for all/part of the ride?

I'd be glad to keep you company but I'm on the wrong side of the state and working all weekend.

What are you planning for the fall? I have a chuck of time off at rally time, I'd be game for a trip. I think I'm taking from Sept 13 through the first weekend of Oct.

I am hoping to do a 1-week in Aug. and a 2-week in Sept., if I can get the time off. For the 1-week, I'd like to do another loop of Wyoming. Route undecided yet, but planning. For the 2-week, either the Forever West route (2800 miles of big-bike dirt) or Tour of Idaho (1600 miles of dirt bike stuff)

I just got back home, about an hour ago. It was kind of a mud-fest, and I rode at least 12 hours in rain or drizzle. But was fun anyway, in a sadistic kind of way. I'll post a few pics, I did manage to take a few when it wasn't raining.
