Hi RNS,

Seems like alot of people are doing there own trips.

I don't speak Spanish either... Just a few phrases to get bye.

Happy to meet up in Vancouer (or anywhere else along the way). I will be there in 1 week.

By October I hope to be in Ecuador/Peru/Boliva.

Will you be riding?

Scott

Hi RNS,

What kind of trip are you planning? For how long? I guess I'll be crossing the Mexican border around Sept, but we can meet somewhere on the way.

I'm adding all you guys as contacts so we keep in touch during out trips :clap:

Hi RNS,

I'm getting to Calgary on the 15th of July, ride Canada, Alaska and then aprox. 4 more weeks in the US. I'm also thinking on crossing on a ferry from Baja California.

I plan to get to my home town in Argentina (close to BA) by the end of December, spend some time with my family there and then travel around one more month to the south.

Anyone going there (between Dec and March) is automatically invited to an asado and craft beer bier

I've been planning a trip to Newfoundland (Canada's most easterly province) will be in Calgary July 3 - 8. My plan is to do as much gravel as possible, going north from Calg. & staying in the north to Manitoba. I've been across Canada many time's on Hwy 1 so am looking at something new. Will be returning to the west coast on Hwy 1.( your welcome to come along ) I'll be back in BC for the HU meeting in Aug. 20-23 you should come if your still in the area.
If your still in Canada or US in Sept. I could meet you before crossing into Mexico.
According to info on HU its quite difficult to get bike & rider from Panama to SA.

Hi,

I'm planning on shipping my bike to Alaska around July and take around 6 months to get to the south of Argentina.

I have the bike almost ready, time and some money, that's it. I don't have a fixed route nor schedule, just some idea of the places I want to visit. I know people that have done Alaska and the US and are sharing information with me, and for the southern bit I know some already. I'm from Argentina, so language will probably not be a problem.

I don't mind travelling by myself, but I also enjoying sharing experiences, so I'm opening the invitation in case there's someone else interested in doing something similar.

I've done a few 2-3 weeks trips before, in small and big groups, and I love being on the road with my bike, so this is for me just an excuse to ride as much as possible and get some experiences on the way.
