Hey all,
I'm planning on an Iron Butt ride in August. Me and my '84 1200 Aspy are heading down the Pacific Coast Hiway in August. The #1 ride in the US according to several biker mags. If anyone is interested in joining up let me know.

The return trip will be through the desert up to Reno, Nevada and then on the the Pacific Northwest GWRRA rally in Pendleton, Oregon the weekend of the 10th.

I have my itinerary planned out - long days on gorgeous roads with spectacular views at every corner. Camping along the way unless the weather gets nasty.

If anyone might be interested in joining me on this once in a lifetime ride, let me know.

I was thinking figuratively of course. I might attempt the real Iron Butt on the way home - San Clemente to Pendleton, Oregon - that is just over 1000 miles straight up 395 through Reno....

Anyway, I plan on leaving Vancouver, Canada on the 2nd going down I-5 to Mt Vernon and then cutting over to the 101 via the ferry at Port Townsend, continuing on to Astoria for my first night stop.
The next day I hope to get to Gold Beach, then on to Gualala, CA on Sunday. If that is too far, then Fort Bragg would be my next choice.

Then on to San Francisco to a visit with a friend. Tuesday will see me on to Carmel, then down to Dana Point Wednesday, my turn around spot (I have family there). I think this is doable - Google maps says 6 hrs each day - I can go 8 if needed. I have driven this course in a car before with wife and 2 kids, stopping along the way - it was a nice 2 week vacation. I just don't have 2 weeks to do it this time, so sightseeing is not really an option. I just like to ride!
