The Idea

The idea to ride from Seattle to Prudhoe began during our June 2008 Vegas ride. We camped at Lake Mead and the photo shown is of Doug's GSA, John's R12C, and my GSA at the Valley of Fire. Somewhere on this trip the idea of riding to Alaska was just a dream. It only made sense considering John and Doug were loopy from riding from the Canadian border to Tijuana a few days earlier. Oh yeah...I better mention they did that ride within 22 hours. I had just completed an Ironbutt (1,000 miles in a day) ride from Northwest Arkansas to Winslow, Arizona. Ya know the song...
