I'd be interested meeting up with you in Michigan or wherever, depending on your route.
Well,
Since we're just talking..
My route out would be something like this:
Day 1 - Northern VA to somewhere in NW Ohio. It's 6 hours from Alexandria to Wheeling VA (I know because I've done it more times than I care to remember). From there, it's pick 'em. US 250 to Wooster is nice, then US 30 into Mansfield (usually get here around 5 pm). A good first day would get into Upper Sandusky or Findlay (13 hour day).
Day 2 - hot ass it on I-75 up to Bay City, Mich, then take US 23 up the eastern side of MI, cross onto the Upper Pennisula, catch US 2 all the way to Iron Mountain, MI. This is probably another 600 mile day.
Day 3 - Snake across northern Wisconsin on WI -70 into Minnesota then start dropping down. A good end point would be somewhere in eastern SD.
I know this makes it 4 days out, but the UP and northern Wisconsin are really some nice riding. Last time I took this route, I caught US 2 in NW Wisconsin and rode to Grand Forks ND. From Marquette MI to grand Forks, ND was a full 600 mile day (IIRC).
I KNOW ND isn't fer sh!t and I imagine eastern SD ain't much better, so it would definitely be hammer down time.
Comments? Suggestions? Anybody?
