Cross Country USA - Sacramento CA to ?

Looking to ride across the USA this spring/summer. Haven't made any concrete plans yet but I would like to start a conversation with a few others who are interested in riding coast-to-coast USA starting in Northern California. I'm young, with a flexible schedule, and will be traveling light and cheap. I ride a 2004 Honda VT1100 with fairing, hardbags,trunk,T-Bag storage. Contact me at RN54@comcast.net and we can discuss our ideas.

I have made a few cross country trips and the route I like the best is,
US-50 into Utah. I-70 to east of Denver, CO where you get on old US-36
US 36 : US Highway 36 : Route 36

Route 50 runs all the way from Sacramento to Ocean City, MD. I tried riding it from East to West about a year ago, but had to leave Rte 50 in Colorado because of snow (it was mid march), and head further south.

From MD to Dodge City KS, where I left Route 50, there was very little traffic and you get to see plenty of small town America. I made pretty good time, and it beats the hell out of the interstate.

That said, depending on how much time you have, it would be a real shame to cross the US and miss all of the cool national parks, which you would have to zig-zag to get to. Also, my favorite part of the country is NorCal-Oregon-Washington-Idaho, so maybe start by going north, not east?

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
