Motorcycle ride from Calgary to Vegas and back !
With a conference to go to in Las Vegas (for work) and a boss/friends that enjoy riding as much as I do, it was easy to make the decision to go for an adventure motorcycle trip of 4,500 kms !! Going through 1 Province and 5 States (Alberta, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Nevada). The gang, Peter, Darcy, Ian and me. Day 1, we met at Pete's house at 8:00am Saturday and without wasting any time we hit the road south. Stopped for fuel and breakfast in Nanton and discussed the plan, route and next stops. I rode a BMW R1200GS, Darcy and Pete had the K1300R and Ian a Honda Shadow 750 (with a smaller engine and gas tank Ian was forced to make a few more stops, but that was fine as riding for more that 2 hours straight is tough anyway..) First day we rode around 760kms all the way from Calgary to Butte Montana, after checking in the hotel we went for food and beers. Day 2 started with a 6k run at 7:00 am with Pete around Butte. I wanted to run...
