Going for a weekend trip through the Ozarks and Branson, Mo. in the middle of June.

Possibly going to Cedar Point Roller Coaster park in Sandusky, Oh. in July.

Going to Sturgis in August.

Those are the only big trips we have planned atm. Plan on going on a lot of weekend rides and poker runs.

2 major rides planned - last week of July - I think July 20th I will be taking the bike to Denver/Boulder area. I have some sales training that week so i figured I would mix some business with pleasure. Then it is off to Sturgis on the 3rd returning on the 11th. 3rd time in 3 years - trying to keep the string going.

Probably going to the Honda Homecoming July 28,29,30. Looks like I'll have to trailer there though :cry: because the little lady doesn't want to drive that far.... So to get her to go... The sacrifices we make....

Hubby, friends & I are planning on a few trips this year.
Memorial weekend, up to the Badlands and maybe ride through Spearfish Canyon in SD. :mcrider:
For the big vacation, a road trip to Yellowstone. Never been out there and thought we would see it (before it blows up... we saw the movie Supervolcanio)
When the weather warms up, we'll take off on some weekend trips. Never know for sure on those where we're headed, so that really makes it fun!!!

Memorial Day: The Sand Hills for a couple of days of camping in the country north of Hiway 2 and south of Highway 20 (in "Old Jules" country ... for those of you who aren't originally from Nebraska, Old Jules was a settler in the Sand Hills region who was immortalized by his daughter, Mari Sandoz, a well-known Nebraska author).

Mid-June to early July:
Indianapolis via northern Missouri and southern Illinois.
Wyoming--Casper, Lander, Cody, Sheridan, Newcastle--and then into the Black Hills before returning to Beatrice.
Denver (No, VTXHOGG, I'm not going to be able to make it to the
Colorado VTX Run--I'm going out to see an old fraternity brother--but it would be a blast to ride out or back together if our schedules coincide)

A few trips to Broken Bow, Kearney, and Grand Island.
A few rides with Nebraska VTX Riders! :D

No Wife, Robb! :wink:

Good chance of riding to the Homecoming in July. Another X'r from work and I are talking about going...... can't seem to get the wife intrested (trailer or not)...

Rob - do you have hotel reservations yet?

Another one I am thinking about is being sponsored by a rider club out of Hastings..... Goal to to drive to each of the Nebraska county court houses (93 in all) and have your picture taken with your bike. Document the trip(s), by September 06'...... This one will be a work in progress...... If I can find the web site I will post it......

I have a trip planned to the Blue Ridge Parkway this summer, July 20 through August 1st.

No trailer involved for this trip! estimated 3500 miles, not including recreational riding. The full itinerary takes me east to Ohio, southeast to North Carolina (Great Smoky Mountains), northeast through NC and Virginia, then into Pennsylvania. Finally, back west through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa...

No but my wife has been looking into it. Basically it looks like Dublin is the only choice at the moment. It's 19 miles from the Homecoming. Can't remember the best rate she's found but they're not too expensive.

Will be spending Memorial Day Weekend in York NE. I leave Syracuse, NY 05/24. Will leave York on 05/31 to return to Syracuse, NY. I do this every year. The round trip for me is 3,000 miles. I generally take 10 days.

I graduated from Thayer High School (near York) in 57. I go back every year for the High School Alumni Reunion.

It's nice being retired!
