Rides
and Routes
 |
| This
is an archive of day rides and other routes that the club or individual
members have done in the past. Most are single day rides, some are
longer. Some are good, others great, otherwise who knows. As
always, ride your own ride... only you hold the handlebars!
In the best of all cases, each route will
have four elements:
- description of the
ride
- set of directions
(left right stuff)
- a map
- the Microsoft Streets
and Trips .est file (currently using 2001 version). (You will
need to have a copy of Microsoft Streets and Trips to be able use this
file.)
In reality this won't all happen very often,
but you can hope. So peruse at your own risk.
To make it easier to print these routes,
they are presented in Adobe Acrobat PDF file format.

don't have Acrobat Reader, first --

| Bridgeport
- Auburn Loop |
Departs from the Western Coffee Pot, take a
variety of roads up to Bridgeport, CA on the Yuba River.
Bridgeport is the site of the longest covered bridge in existence.
After a stop there, return via an assortment of roads to Auburn for a late
lunch at Ikeda’s off I-80. Burgers,
teriyaki rice bowls and fruit pies all get high marks. |

| The
48 Plus! |
Here
is the ultimate ego trip in the Northern Hemisphere, the 48 plus! Ride all
48 states plus Alaska in 10 days. For all this effort you'll get an 8X10
glossy of your handsome mug on the wall of the SeaLask Inn in Hyder, AK.
Long distance riders from around the world will see your face proudly on
display in the lobby for eternity!
Follow
this map and you should make it to Hyder with 24 hours to spare so you can
sight see and watch the bears romp around the glaciers. It will require
that you ride 9 successive 1000 mile days to reach Hyder, but then you get
to relax in the wilderness before you head back home.
For
more information check out; http://www.ironbutt.com/ On the left side of
the page look for "Ride Certifications" and click on it, then
click on 48plus and you'll find an explanation of the ride. It's simple
and just requires you to ride the bike longer than you've ever ridden
before and probably never will again!
