In order to move my Honda Pacific Coast to Colorado, I decided to ride it east. From Oregon this is a 1337 mile ride direct on the fastest route. This is no easy undertaking.
I loaded my bike up at Heather’s house and strapped everything down early in the morning.
Bye Corvallis!
I stopped at my parent’s house to get the mail.
Out in the Columbia Gorge getting gas.
In La Grande getting gas and food.
In Boise getting gas.
In Burley getting gas. I decided to stay the night in the Best Western in Burley rather than continuing to try and get an Iron Butt SaddleSore. Next time I’ll push to 1000 miles in a single day. Instead I did about 750 miles in a day this time.
Getting gas near Salt Lake City.
Lots of bugs!
In Wyoming getting gas.
Stopped for lunch in Wyoming.
Fueling up near the interstate in Wyoming. Clouds on the horizon to the east.
I was forced into getting gas at this station that had E85 fuel. It really damaged my carbs. As of posting this I still haven’t finished cleaning my carbs out.
Near Boulder, Colorado. Big storms were just starting to roll into the state that punished Colorado for the next several weeks and led to historic flooding.
I made it all the way to Golden before the heavens opened and I was dumped on. I have never ridden through such heavy rain and hope to never ride through such heavy rain again. I made it all the way to Colorado!
