2020 trip for Lola & Us

[PosseRider]

Rt 66 will be another year now. We have done it maybe 5-6 times. We don't do cars. Every year for the last 30 yrs & counting our trips have been on the HD 2 & now 3 wheels. 48 states & 7 country's. Decided on the northern route as the sw is already hitting triple digits so July would be bad. We need to do 66 in May or June, China virus screwed up this year

O well, 120 near Baker,Ca one summer & 113 when we got to Vegas @7pm. Just dont do it if we dont have to, but we will . Go on your car trip we will RIDE. Thats why we have HD for over 40 yrs, & all tours on them last 30. We love to ride all summer every year. Drive in the cold weather.

I have been there, just want to go back. Parts of it will not be opened due to the virus, have to wear masks and social distance. What time of year will the PA gathering be or is that to be determined?

Oh Boy, we really wish we could tag along. But, neither of us can get off. This damn Covid-19 is going to kill our riding season. Hope ya'll have a great trip. Hope to see everyone at the next Kerrville meet.

If you and Janiene ride down to Texas this fall maybe we can meet up in Kansas (or someplace else) like we did last year. Be safe and have fun.

Not sure about that, over 200 miles out of route. Have to wait & see.
