Need route advice, Toronto to Denver, and??? Now with ride report!
Update: see here for the ride report http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-...route-advice-toronto-denver-2.html#post354998
In my usual procrastinating way, I've left the planning for a trip to the very last minute (been busy, that's my excuse!). Leaving tomorrow morning on an eight day getaway. I've decided to go south westernish, as I've already done much of the east coast, but never been west of Chicago on a bike. The plan is to ride for seven of those days, and take a day off to wander around Denver as I've never been and keep on hearing good things about it. I figure probably around 7k km round trip should be fine, 1200km+ days of slab aren't much of a problem to get to a destination. Outside of Denver, I'm free as a bird to go and see whatever I.
So far I'm thinking of maybe slabbing it straight to Badlands national park, South Dakota and going south from there.
Here is a very rough outline of what I'm thinking of, Mexico is there just cause I think it would be cool to bike to Mexico. I haven't looked at specific places to go really, just a few points that seem interesting from an hour of googling. Nothing is firm and all advice is appreciated. Looking for cool things to see like Rockies, deserts of New Mexico, thinking of maybe hitting up some bit(s) of Route 66 on the way back. Stops that I'd love to get to but unfortunately I don't think I'll have time for are Yellowstone national park, and Bonneville salt flats
