Planning to ride from East to West beginning around the first or second week of July.

Details:

Bike - 2009 KLR 650
Time on the trail: 8-10 weeks
Accommodation: mainly camping with occasional hotel/motel

About me: Retired. Have some experience with longer rides.

16000k down Appalachian Trail - to Continental Divide Ride to Vancouver and back to London Ontario.

TransAmericaTrail. - Jelico Tennessee to Pt. Orford Oregon, and then back to Colorado.

Some lesser rides around Algonquin Park and also rides out to Vermont.

I've generally ridden smaller bikes (Wr250R, DRZ400, KTM350) This will be my first long trip on a larger bike.

I'm not a interested in seeing how quickly I can do the trip.

I've got more background in photography and I appreciate landscapes, but also enjoy challenges and adventure.

I'm pretty self sufficient and content to ride alone, but also appreciate and value the company of others.

I've got some experience in moto setup and mechanics, and can generally figure things out when they go wrong.

If any of this sounds like your cup of tea feel free to drop me a note. I'd be happy to have some company for part or all of the journey.

I'll be heading out to NFL around the end of June on some faster roads. From Vancouver Island, I'll probably ride down to Colorado (near Denver) and then catch a ride back to Ontario from there.
