The countdown is on – the big trip starts on Sunday – the bikes are already there and I’m getting insanely excited. Here’s the route:
Starting in Colorado – we head up through Yellowstone, up to Glacier Park near the border and then in a loop back down to the starting point. I saw a tiny fraction of the route last year and it was breathtaking. I can’t wait.
I am a bit worried about a few things though to be honest:
- quite a lot of rain forecast. Boo. NOT the plan for a summer holiday.
- Likely to be lots of wiggly roads – meaning intense concentration and slow progress. So for a couple of days there will be severe danger of arse coma.
- Idaho. I don’t actually know anything at all about Idaho but most of the vowel states I’ve been in have not been great. Illinois is OK but it is all downhill with Iowa, Indiana, Ohio.
