Folks,

My trip report is too large to upload. With all of the photos and text it is way over the 60k limit. I was able to upload an addendum to the report with some day-to-day detail. I will continue to figure out how to get this large file uploaded. If any of want to see it, I can email it directly to you.

Okay trying it in HTML form. It may be ugly but you get the gist of what I am trying to say. I have many more pictures to include. Let me know your thoughts!

By the way, the entire trip was done two-up. At no point did Pam get off the cycle for any of the riding I wrote about.

Thanks!

We really enjoyed the trip. There are tons more pictures that I didn't include.

I also wanted to add that Uly riders should be careful accelerating while two-up riding. You will stand the bike up very easily all the way up to third gear. Pammie liked that feature and was expecting a Wheelie every time we hit an on-ramp.

Lastly, next summer we are will head to Alaska. In the meantime we are really enjoying the cycle!
