This is really a new topic, but I wanted to direct it especially toward the SFO people, because of the distance involved. I am thinking about a winter or early spring trip to Big Bend, and wanted to find out if any of y'all would be interested in a group ride. But this cannot be a weekend thang . . . we would need at least 4 days, and 5 would be better.
We can either camp in tents, or rent cabins or hotel rooms in the park, which is nearly a million acres large. The 2-lane highways north of the park are excellent, and traffic is non-existent. You can really lay some serious tracks in that part of the country.
February and March are great weather-wise, but 2nd week of March is Spring break, and accommodations are hard to come by.
My wife does not ride, and is very distressed that I might go alone from Oklahoma. My son llives in Ft. Smith, and may be able to go, but on his old Magna, he has to stop for fuel every 120 miles! (I'm trying to get him to trade up to a sport-tourer.)
Any interest from Dallas/Houston/Austin/OKC? Canada?
