Okay here is my preliminary route to the rally. Not the exact route because google limits you to so many way points. Plus extra days in Colorado. 10 days of riding. So as long as nothing changes I'll see you all in Custer. And We will be there on the 17th now, so you've been warned.

That’s quite a trip Troy. What day are you leaving.

You are getting close to (and missing) one of the consistently top 10 rated motorcycle roads in the country - Beartooth Highway (pass). US 212 from Yellowstone to Red Lodge MT.

296 (Crandall RD/Dead Indian Hill rd)also looks like a awesome road to ride. So I will take what I can get.

296 is also known as Chief Joseph Hwy and it is a good ride - although road was full of tar snakes last time we were there (2014?). Hopefully they've done some work on it since then. We're going to be coming through Yellowstone and coming out at Cody. We'll be riding 296 and then the rest of 212 which doesn't include the short section that you'll be riding. :)

Beartooth is a beautiful ride. I also wanted to ride the Chief Joseph hiway, going the wrong direction at the time. Rode from Red Lodge to Cook City headed toward Yellowstone, crater lake and the redwoods.
Now that I think of it, that's why I missed Custer last time, just couldn't do both.

That sounds like a good route. I am trying to catch Idaho and stay away from as much of the tourist traffic in Yellowstone as possible. As my route kinda circles around the main park.

So Glenn you're doing something like this. Pinedale would be my starting point.

Yes. We are touring Grand Teton and Yellowstone the week before Custer. So, we'll spend the night in Cody and ride 296 and Beartooth to Red Lodge. Don't have a stop planned after that, but won't do the whole 500 miles to Custer that day. That wouldn't give us enough time to stop and enjoy the sites.

Me too! Framer and I will leave his house Saturday morning, ride to Burlington, CO. for that night, then make it into Custer Sunday afternoon.
On our way back, plans are to ride through the Sandhills in Nebraska. Nothing like cutting through the heartland of America! Hope to see some takonka!

To get past the Google Map waypoint limits use this site. https://mapped.me/ A Google map will be created with all the waypoints.
Saturday - Chandler AZ to Scottsbluff NE for a SaddleSore 1000. Sunday - Eventually Custer while I wander around.
