A great ride.

I have a really looong story about a young traveller who was from a nordic country and was riding across the western states on a little dirt bike riding dirt roads mostly! He was an adventurer and he had a great time.


I hope these guys have great adventures too.

What age group did they seem to fit in?

they were on their bikes.

They are now in their 60's and the long rides are not as much fun. I can see their arms getting tired. Last year, was a weekend trip of about 200 miles. So far, no trips planned this year.

I guess its another activity that is lost to aging.

I went on a long trip in my mid 50s and that was the last long ride, it was four days, a lot of dirt. I agree about 'things' lost to aging, I hope I can have a couple more winters with my skis, we'll see.

don't get too uncomfortable with the heat. But more than that, I hope they have a great time.

They are foreign. They probably speak with an accent. That's all ICE needs to lock them up and sell them to slave countries.

A state-issued license plate! (One presumes they brought their bikes from France and that you saw French plates.)

Also, you must've met close to where I live, off Rte 78 W from NYC/NJ to the PA border at Easton.

They're probably still riding across Pennsylvania!

butI didn’t see you.

and stopping off at places along the way. They always look experienced and well-provisioned.

Only once in a motorcycle but fabulous experience!
Trip mostly across tbe US by bus in '80 with several places that I stopped at. One - met my cousin in Denver (studying at Denver U).

He took me by motorcycle 1st to Red Rocks Amphitheater, then an old still existing mining town, 3rd up to Echo Lake about 10,200 ft where the mountain SW still have some snow at the top (? 2nd week of July), and the line of snow covered atmospherically blued mountains in the NW distance were the Continental Divide.
.
Finally we went up even higher, stopped, and showed me a fir tree covered, roadless valley. Thousands & thousands of trees!
Then back down to Denver.
Extroidinary mini-adventure!

Do you have any stories from your bus trip?
