Routes to the rally

**Framer** · 04-07-2018, 11:16 PM

With the rally just a couple of months out I figured everybody getting there routes planned out, I know I am.

So I thought I’d see how everybody getting there, what routes your taking, so if anybody want to meet up and ride in together they can.

Trip’s trailering to my house and we’re leaving Saturday morning from Piedmont OK (on the bikes). If there anybody interested in riding with us let me.

Yep.... Trip DID buy a Harley. Now it's time to stop every 50 miles... eat and smoke a cigarette. Then talk for two more hours and then get 50 more miles down the road. 100 mile days are wonderful...

Well this threads on the way down

I won't be joining you, as I am starting my trip to the rally on June 8th.
The plan is Home(Indiana), Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado(2 Days), New Mexico, Arizona (North Rim Grand Canyon), Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, back into Wyoming then to Custer South Dakota.

Ride home, Up to North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois then Home.

No Interstates, all back roads(small highways).

So Whats your route up? Riding the Interstates or the back roads(smaller Highways)?

**Framer** · 04-08-2018, 10:50 PM

Backroad mostly, day one leaving my house to Woodward OK, Dodge City, Garden City then North to I70 and to Burlington CO. Day two Burlington to Custer

**BudMan** · 04-09-2018, 10:47 PM

We will leave Fort Smith headed west on I-40 for about 100 miles to Okemah.
Then go through Guthrie to avoid OKC. West to Watonga then turn north.
It's 400 miles to Medicine Lodge KS. Probably stop there. If we feel like it we'll keep going.
We'll take US 281 to Great Bend then north on 183 to Ansley NE.
Then take NE hwy 2 through the sand hills to Alliance NE. Then 385 to Custer.

Are you planning on taking 62 to 177 to 105 to get to Guthrie.

**BudMan** · 04-10-2018, 06:44 AM

That’s the plan.

Day one: Marietta, GA to Benton, IL. Camping at Benton KOA
Day two: Benton to Kansas City, MO. Camping at Kansas City East/Oak Grove KOA
Day three: KC to Sioux City, SD. Camping at Sioux City North KOA
Day four: Sioux City to Custer, SD.

Days one and four will be all interstate. Too long a day if I do surface roads on those days. Depending on how I feel, how early I get started, etc. other days I will either do interstate or surface roads.

dkdixie · 04-16-2018, 08:31 AM

Kawhead and Sue are coming to my N GA house few days before leaving for Custer.
Planning to spend first night around Edwardsville, Ill, or somewhere East/North of St Louis which will be 500+ miles and that's about 1/3 of miles to Custer.
Probably cross Big Muddy at Hannibal, MO....from there don't have a clue right now.

spending 2nd night around Sioux City, perhaps meeting up with Coach if it fit his plans.....3rd day on to Custer
