Alaska 2020

It's always good to have goals...goals certainly keep me out of the "lost weekend" syndrome, where I can fritter away large blocks of weekend time without producing anything meaningful. So, it's with that in mind, that I'm seriously starting to plan a nice ride to Alaska (and British Columbia, Yukon, and everything between Virginia and there) in 2020.

With a 2017 R1200GSA to ride, and much (perhaps all) of the gear needed to make that ride, already around the house, all I need is a plan and a good set of off-road/on-road tires.

Chilly weather

Some winters are better than others around these parts. This is one of the bad ones. We're caught up in a mass of cold air that covers much of the eastern part of the country. So much for getting out for a little winter riding!

The R1200GSA sits on its battery tender, waiting for an opportunity to explore. I have a lot of ideas of where to go this year, but I do need a little bit of cooperative weather. Highs of 20 deg F and lows of 3 deg F aren't conducive to adventuring (at least on a motorcycle)!
