Puffin Across America Continued

The (not so) Wild Hogs trip 2017

Previous motorcycle rides have included the famous ride across America, Nova Scotia & PEI, Skyline Drive Virginia and Florida. Last year I did not go on the ride and decided to make up for it this year.

This year we are heading to Albuquerque New Mexico. The rest of the group will fly out and ship their bikes out and just ride home. I have decided to ride out the 2,136 miles (3,438 kilometers) by myself and ride back with the gang. Total trip over 4,000 miles (7,000 kilometers)

I plan to go via Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and finally New Mexico. I have planned five days out by myself - riding when I want to, stopping when I need to and if it gets too hot I might try and take a rest in air conditioned comfort during the heat of the day and ride early morning and later in the day.

On the return trip there will be seven rough, tough bikers via Route 66 which was made famous by the old TV show. The stops on the return trip are:

Albuquerque, NM
Amarillo TX
286
Oklahoma City, OK
260
Springfield MO
285
St Louis, MO
215
Indianapolis, IN
242

271


Total miles return Trip 2,005 miles
