From Simi Valley to Austin, Texas. I'll be riding this (assuming I can convince Mama, which I think I can). Thinking of riding halfday Wed the 5th thru full day Saturday the 8th, or 3.5 days:
My criteria/thoughts
1. 3.5 days of travel (assuming around 1600 miles)
2. Avoid highways where possible; prob will want to blow out one day on the highway to "make good time"
3. Scenic
4. Warm as possible
5. Riding a cafe racer, so real long days probably aren't going to be great
6. Ave speed won't be great with a ~130 mile tank
Am I being way too optimistic thinking I can ride 450 mile days? I really need to get home Saturday but could extend to Sunday if you think I'm totally crazy. Got a great back, etc. so not anticipating being too creaky.
Also, if any Pelicans along the way would like to get together for coffee or beer, I'm up for it!
