Default Vacation with a Gasser?

Would like to throw out the question of were do you want to go with your bike?

I want to take a week long vacation this winter or spring and go riding. I don't think I want to leave the US because I would like to use my own bike but I am open to ideas.

The area would have to have logging, trail system with maps ect. If it's a day or two drive I would bring the bike myself, if longer I would ship it out before I left.

Colorado or Idaho would be my top picks without question. Probably not a spring or especially winter place to go riding considering the snow pack. I hear the miles and miles of single track in Idaho is amazing. Colorado has a really good documented trail system and the views from either are to die for.

When do we leave???

For spring or winter ridding I would go to Georgia. The Duhrma Town and Highland Park both look like some sweet places to ride.

Unless you want to go to Canada then go to victoria and get Dave from gasgaspacific to let you Demo a new bike and let hime show you the trails to ride.

Lifes journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways totally worn out shouting holy cow what a ride !!!!

I take the bike up to BC with some guys every spring. So far we have gone to Kelowna, Kamloops and Lytton(which I missed ). The riding is unreal and so are the friendly canadians we meet in the woods.

Hey PEB go a bit further north and I will go ridding with you. I am in Prince George which is about 6 hours North of Kamloops.

Well, you could do the WUDI ride in ARK, then head southeast to Meridian,MS. they have a good singletrack trail system there,http://www.meridianohvpark.com/ then go about 3.5 hours east to Birmingham, we have the Ridge http://www.ridgeriding.com/
or we have several riding areas to choose. If you let me know ahead of time,
I can arrange a ride at the famed Perry Mountain venue where they have the 24 hr race and nat'l enduros. Then when you want to move on, load up and travel about 3 hrs northeast and go to Highland Park http://www.highlandparkresort.com/
You could spend a couple of days here.... then over to Durhamtown about 4 hours southeast. From there you could head up to Brown Mtn in NC.

How long a vacation you takin'.....
