Man I wish I could go but my schedule won't allow it this year.
 I hope you all get lots of pics and video! AT least I'm doing my qualifying ride for RTL this weekend!

What route are you taking? Mapquest says 16 hours; you planning on speeding?
If you pass through Salem, pick up jagur.

Taking 20 across central Oregon, not I84 through Portland, so no Salem. I got the 15 hours because I'm driving to SLC, overnighting, and then driving on to moab. The times are 12 and change and 3 and change and I rounded down, not up. It probably will be closer to 16 hours - but no one goes speed limit across central Oregon either. I'll fudge it just a little bit. Last edited by Seager; 2008-03-19 at 04:20 PM. |

That's quite a drive. If I remember right it only takes us about 12 hours total from the middle of Montana....
I've been preparing for Moab by NOT riding.

I've still got to buy a couple of tripods and a bunch of tapes. Other than that I think I'm all set to go!
Oh wait, I need to get a haircut really bad, I can't see when I put my helmet on... Only 8 more days!! Seamus

How come I live so much closer (Sacramento vs. Oregon) and yet Google Maps estimates the drive time for me at 13 hrs?
But I'm flying to SLC and driving from there, which brings the total door-to-door time (including drive to airport +waiting) down to something like only 12 hours.

If you were to speed like Seager, you'd save no time. Flying is saver and more convenient though.18 hour drive for me, but we're stopping at Jackson Hole, WY, so make that 27 hours to Moab.

I'm about 8,900 hours away! That's because I won't be able to go 'till the '09 Munifest.

18 direct and nonstop going through Des Moines. You must've gotten lost in the cornfields. Google maps says 15 hours from Ames.
