Colorado-Utah-Wyoming-Idaho-Montana
My brother and I did a big loop. 13 days riding. 2600 miles. We estimate 2000 miles off pavement through som eof the most beatutful terrain in teh USA. The route was a combo of the TAT across Colorado, Forever West route headed north from Colorado and the CDT from Montana back south to Colorado. This was an awsome trip!

I have started a trip report on ADV if you care to see.

No, you are supposed to put the report here and link it on ADV I'll go check it out.

Edit: Well, I went and nothing but red x's at work. Must be one of those questionable photo sights; explains why the report is on ADV? So it will have to wait.

Humm. Not sure why you get the red x's.

I got most my info for the trip from ADV folks. Plus we ran in to other ADV riders on the trip. So I felt putting the trip report there was appropriate.

If others are having issues I can re-post the whole thing here once I finish.

Think before you post. Leave out the vulgarity, personal attacks and foul language!

Quote:
Lies are fragile. They require constant attentiveness to keep them alive. The exposure of a single truth can rip through an ocean of lies, evaporating it instantly. - Brandon Smith

If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. — Joe Sobran

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance. – Murray N. Rothbard

When one possessed of the Truth suffers from a heavy heart he is susceptible to a more dangerous affliction — the craving for power to eradicate error, to cause Truth to triumph by force. - Frank Chodorov

Where politicians flourish, long history has harshly taught us, people and their liberty wither. Where the state is god and the "public interest" worshipped, individual man will be found bleeding upon the altar. - Karl Hess

The accepted wisdom is that without the state, society would collapse into lawlessness and crime. In fact, lawlessness and crime define the very nature of the state and the society organized by it. - Bionic Mosquito

But the myth of the rule of law does more than render the people submissive to state authority; it also turns them into the state's accomplices in the exercise of its power. For people who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law. - John Hasnas

Re: Colorado-Utah-Wyoming-Idaho-Montana
Well your RR just ate up my Sunday morning!! Outstanding, lotta fun. The 'Parting of the Ways' placard was intense, puts into perspective the hardships of the day. Loved the pic of the bicycle family on their 60th something day. Were they nuts or what? Those kids are certainly unique in this day and age.
Again, great RR and 's !!

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the report. It is much better to go ride it! If you have any desire to do a multi-day trip like this I would highly recommend you just do it!
