I drive a lot and he's right. There are a ton of games played by drivers.

Block jobbers.ass riders, come on overs...

That first leg sounds brutal to me. glhf

Don't ride bikes but love long trips. Did a round trip from Austin to Grand Rapids last year. Will be headed to Macungie Pennsylvania this August with my dad pulling an antique car for the show there.

The longest though was back in 1990 when three of us went from Oregon to Orlando and then back up to Columbia Mo. About 10,000 miles in 30 days in a camper van. Greatest trip ever!

Changes to schedule have already been made.

First leg of the trip will begin on July 6th and I will travel from Denver to Ft. Collins, then to onto Chicago. (1,015 Mi).

I'm being misunderstood here. There is a language and way of the road and I like it.

I'm not this guy:

Updated the OP with latest info. Dates and requests for meetups.

Chicago to Cleveland is quite a bit more than 140 miles.

Indeed... I superimposed the 140 from Cleveland to Pitt

I understood. Just adding my 1 cent lol

Maybe we should meet while you're in Denver. You know, on your road trip.

Yeah, I don't understand a goal of driving until you're exhausted. I thought the goal of a road trip was to explore different places. But I guess some people just like driving. I'll take the train any day.

I think it depends on the circumstances.

When I've driven from LA to KC, I try to go as long as possible without stopping for the night. I've done the 24 hour drive and I've split it up.

If I'm doing a true road trip, as in seeing the sites between LA and KC, the plan was to stop every four or five hours, take in the local scene, spend the night and head on for another four hours or so.

Back in '98, we did the Grand Canyon, Albuquerque, El Paso, Okie City, KC, Colorado Springs, Denver, Grand Junction, SLC, Vegas, then home.

But I have no problem racing from LA to KC asap.

I drove from Omaha to LA then to SF a few months ago. I was in an SUV and it was exhausting. I can't imagine doing that shit on a bike.

This is an incredibly bad idea.

Get all your bucket list stuff done before your trip and make sure you take out a life insurance policy because that schedule will literally kill you.

When you are on a bike you need your wits about you at all times, and that ain't gonna happen with your timelines. The fatigue becomes cumulative and you are doing things in between your rides rather than resting up.

I am all for long distance rides, but make sure you know your limits. Be willing to adjust your schedule. Maybe you are young and dumb and can pull it off; I'm just an old man who knows that even 25 years ago that ride would be a struggle. Part of the ride is taking it all in--slow down and enjoy it.

Morrison from where ? i thought you lived in KC ?
