USA Four Corners Tour

The final plans are pretty well in place for our 2013 USA Four Corners motorcycle tour. Above is the US map showing the route to complete the tour in 21 days or less! My friend, Bill, on his 2006 Ultra Classic is going with me on the tour. We are planning to leave around May 29 for Madawaska, ME. That will be the starting point for the tour. Received the final "Starter Package" from the Southern California Motorcycling Association (SCMA) last week. My tour number is 015.



From Madawaska, we plan to ride back to Richmond for one night and get maintenance done on our bikes the next morning. Head on to Key West, FL then to San Ysidro, CA and then to Blaine, WA.

The estimated miles just to do the USA4CT is 6,800 miles. Should complete it in 17 days with an average of 400 miles/day (To get certified on the tour we need to complete it in 21 days or less). That is the average I have done on most of my past multiple day trips. The total round trip from home should be around 11,050 miles for 28 days.

This trip should also complete the rest of the 49 states that I will have ridden my motorcycle in. Only have 5 left as of today (I'm not counting Hawaii as I don't ever intend to ride my own motorcycle there!!):



I plan to do postings on the tour to this blog. May not make a posting every day!! You should be able to track us too on the SPOT tracking (Location Map) tab above too.

Anyone have any good tips on places to stop along the route, please let me know. I have a lot of places bookmarked already on my GPS, especially food stops (you will see the pictures)!!!
