Ride Ideas

[LSGiant]

It has been a couple of years since I have done a big ride. I think I am more than over due. Let's see if we can find something to send to the Iron Butt and get our names in history. I like to do something unique.

For those of you old enough to remember Gomer Pyle.

How about Surprise, Surprise, Surprise.

Here is one 1348 mile version.

Hopefully you pick dates with nicer weather than you did for your last big ride

I'm a fan of the two burger idea

[Breeze]

Since the Moonshine Lunch Run is a regular run for me, I'm in.
I like the two burgers idea.
Vanessa and I were in Surprise last year during the USA tour. There isn't much there. The only business was a bar and it had a for sale sign. There was a small sign stating most of the town was destroyed Sept.15, 2006
If this is something everyone wants to do. I would be more than happy to do any scouting of Surprise, Nebraska that needed to be done to meet any requirement.

Only sign with Surprise on it in Nebraska is on the top of a tornado siren pole. When I was there for the GT anyway that's all there was.

Do you need me to scout Surprise, AZ? Just sayin....

OK, Building on everyone's original thoughts: Surprise, Surprise, Surprise -> http://goo.gl/maps/YmK3y ... Just Saying.

Oh, and if that looks too easy, we could do it Shooter style and throw in a couple dozen GT stops on the way.

Looks like a great SS2000 ride!!!! I could get 50 GT's or so in the time allowed for a cert?..... I think...depending on the rules next year.

FYI this was the only sign I could find in Surprise, NE last year. No time stamp available in town.

I love how this seems to have gotten some traction. The Moonshine idea is great but I am going to be in Moab. I had Arizona in originally but was hoping to do something that would only be a long weekend. If we can get settle on a date and a ride I can cross post and maybe get The IBR on board. If we are set on Moonshine that's cool I can help some one set it up but I won't be there for the ride.

I'm interested to see what you can come up with LSGiant. Maybe T-Bone does needs to take a scouting trip to Surprise, AZ and Breeze to Surprise, NE?

Could we have a over-night mid-way stop and have dinner somewhere? Any great burger or steak places in W. NE or KS, there is a famous steak place in York, NE, but its not quite halfway.

I'm not crazy about pounding out 2,000 miles of interstate (esp I-80 and I-70), could we route at least part of it down some 2-ways?
