Merry Christmas!

I’m attaching the map I was talking about yesterday. By the way, it was generated by using the trip planner on the Harley Davidson website. If you are not familiar with that tool it’s really great and I would highly recommend it.

The total trip will be ~1038 miles around Texas over two days. The trip will take us from Odessa to Del Rio by way of Iraan, Sonora, and Uvalde. Next, it’s over to Big Bend for a quick ride from Panther Junction, up to the basin and then out the western side of the park. We’ll then ride up through Alpine, Fort Stockton, Wink (Roy Orbison Museum) and the back home.

It should be a fun trip and I hope to be able to keep you posted from the road via an audioblog.

This is my first attempt at a blog so if you are watching and reading excuse the mess. I guess I’ll just have to see how it goes. I’m really using this site to help my friends and family keep track when I’m on the road on my Harley. With any luck, it will be a little entertaining as well.

I am planning a trip on December 28th and 29th to south Texas. The weather is supposed to be great and there has been some enthusiasm for this trip including my son. I’m going to post a map of the ride and possible each stage. My goal while on the ride will be to post a couple of audio blogs as well as a picture or two from the road. Hope it all works out.

Here's the ride map. Okay, tried to make a copy of the map and have not had any luck. I'll convert it and post it along with the ride details tomorrow. Until then, Merry Christmas.
