Hey Andreas and others: I have connected with a few of you in this thread already, but thought I'd mention my RTW ideas as well:
> My plan is to leave Vancouver in August 2017 and travel south through western North America, initially riding the Back Road Discovery Routes through the US states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Arizona. For more information on these routes, go here: Backcountry Discovery Routes
> Then cross into Mexico sometime around mid September 2017 and ride through to Central America and into South America towards Tierra Del Fuego.
I have about 8 months. All is in the early planning at this point which means I can be persuaded of other routes and timing
I'll have a new KTM 690 R Enduro and I intend to ride a lot of off-road.
I'm a young 52, and consider myself a skilled off-road rider, having done some racing. I spend my leisure time riding single track.
I have also done some medium-long road rides on a sport cruiser in the past, but I prefer the more physical off-road types of riding...at least while I still can.
PM me if you want to connect through email and discuss ideas. Thanks!
Rob
