Gonna head east to RI next week on the K75. A stop in Johnnyville, Cheezeconsin is in order. Hopefully arrive before the weekend. The weather forecast looks perfect.

Here's a plotted route to Cheezeconsin.

Here's a plotted route from Cheezeconsin to RI.

Here's a real-time tracking map. (Active starting Monday)

I've done US2 and US12 to the Great Lakes before, so I'm thinking something a little further south this time. Very open to alternate route suggestions.

If anybody wants to meetup along the way, lemme know.

As you venture thru Clear Lake and around Mason City, you are about 120 miles north of me.
We will be home(as I'm on call for work I can't venture more than 45min away) thru the 25th, then we head east to Baltimore for 5 days.

So you're near Des Moines, Scott?

Scott_ · « **Reply #3 on:** September 16, 2015, 08:17:58 PM »

Northeast of DesMoines about 45 miles on 330

If you want to make a stop in ZIP code 10977, give me a buzz.

I thought you were headed to Enterprise valley next week? No takers?

We'll see how progress is when I'm near, Scott. Would be great to see you in-person again!

Could be, Bill. Gonna visit an old friend (and former K-owner) in Accord, NY.

Yes, Bob. Nobody wants to E OR next week, so eff it, I'll just bust out.

Dang, I'm in Madison not too far from Johnny.

I probably owe both of you a homebrew for all the great help I've gotten out of this forum!

Snowman · « **Reply #8 on:** September 19, 2015, 06:14:32 PM »

If you have time, I at least owe you beer & pie for the help this site has given me. Let me know when you're coming across SD, I'm in Sioux Falls and can drop down to intercept anywhere in the area. Safe travels.

TimTyler · « **Reply #9 on:** September 20, 2015, 01:46:41 AM »

Cool, Snowman.

I just added a link in the first post to my Spot tracking map which will start working after I hit the road.

TimTyler · « **Reply #10 on:** September 21, 2015, 08:38:49 PM »

Good riding, so far.

Time to start looking for a place to bunk down.

herseyb · « **Reply #11 on:** September 22, 2015, 08:18:22 AM »

Dang, great ride yesterday and a really beautiful one coming up across Idaho.

I'd love to know more about the map tracking system you're using...

Snowman · « **Reply #12 on:** September 22, 2015, 05:18:33 PM »

Starting tomorrow, through Thursday & Friday, Heavy rain 2-3 inches in SE South Dakota, I29 Corridor. :musicboohoo:

Go Tim go !

Thanks, JO.

Thanks for the heads up, Mike. I'll have a look tomorrow and route accordingly.

Got caught up in a mad rush for hotel rooms in Gardner, MT tonight. $240 was the going rate. By chance the RV park in town had a camper cabin for $60 which is better than perfect in my book.

Currently waiting with my IPA for a pizza.

US 12 through Idaho was a chilly blast.

Met a rider in Hamilton MT at lunch who recommended a pass heading east just south of town. Half unpaved, was a great break from norm.

Will upload non-phone pics once I dump them into the computer.

That little cabin looks similar to one I stayed in when I went out west a few years ago.

Great pics Tim, thanks.

Tuco · « **Reply #18 on:** September 24, 2015, 02:21:01 PM »

I'm envious, have fun and thanks for letting us enjoy vicariously.

That's the kind of area where there shouldn't be speed limits. When you can see all the way to the horizon, what's there to hit?

TimTyler · « **Reply #20 on:** September 24, 2015, 11:41:41 PM »

Easy riding out here but the short days impose limits.

Ran into a couple of hours of rain on Thursday. Cleaned off all the squished bugs.

I suspect my ETA will be Saturday lunch time but we'll see...

Looking happy as a clam, Tim! I'm tempted to try and find ya on the road when you get to wisco, great trip!

TimTyler · « **Reply #23 on:** September 25, 2015, 10:21:39 PM »

Here's some more pics.

Snowman · « **Reply #24 on:** September 25, 2015, 10:47:42 PM »

Missed ya Tim! Couldn't open the site today to see the tracker. Take a rain check on the frothy beverage. Heading out myself tomorrow to bag a SS1000 out to the Black Hills and the Badlands.
