I haven't heard anything about a SS1000 at Moscow. Is there info out there?

It has already come up here in post #34 and here in post #41.

It is quite difficult to do an in-state Idaho SS1k that includes Moscow without doing some out-and-back routing, and/or using some less-traveled roads which are problematic at night due to critters. So I gave up on the in-State aspect.

I laid out a tentative route that starts/ends in Moscow, uses the cities below as "corners", and is run counter-clockwise for reasons of maximizing daylight running time in the more remote parts of WA/ID/MT. Google Maps says it is about 1,075 miles. I'll check it with Garmin's Mapquest (or the Mac equivalent thereof). This is a pretty nice ride: about 50% scenic but reasonably fast motorcycle roads, 30% freeway (much of that also scenic and curvy) and about 20% transitions.

Missoula, MT

Cusick, WA

Tonasket, WA

Cashmere, WA

Yakima, WA

Waitsburg, WA

Ohhhhh!

That includes Lolo Pass Highway! Yum, yum! One of the best times I have had on a motorcycle!

Well done, H Marc!

Certainly watch for the forest rats on US-12 coming into Montana from Idaho! From personal experience, I was approaching Missoula at dusk, and there were some big 'uns!! I don't think I exceeded 35 MPH from the Montana border all the way into Missoula that evening! I remeber this like it was yesterday! This was in May '08. Just FYI.

Cheers!

Will there be qualified witnesses on site? I'm considering a BBG on the way to WFO and would like to be certain of an appropriate welcome.

That was the time you had the sheep sitting in front of you instead of behind?
