I don't like Yahoo groups either but some of the old coots don't want to move to something more 21st century. ;-)<br /><br />Good luck with your interview, hopefully your next employer will allow for a flexible travel schedule.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088030514967478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17554196.post-63638652543990238342009-06-04T11:15:17.389-05:002009-06-04T11:15:17.389-05:00Marty,
Sorry to hear about your herniated disc :(...Marty,<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your herniated disc :(<br /><br />Is the Baker City meet the Yahoo ST group? I registered a long time ago for that forum but I really dislike the Yahoo forum format. Maybe someone posted the info on Ducati.ms, I might go look there. <br /><br />As of right now I'm tentatively planning on being in Gunnison, CO for the ST.N meet 16-17 of June. I think it could be very possible to get up to Baker City, OR in two days from Gunnison, it’s only 871 miles. <br /><br />AnnaAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360049377814446360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17554196.post-40059155818303852312009-06-03T23:07:23.867-05:002009-06-03T23:07:23.867-05:00Wow! I've had almost the same thing happen to ...Wow! I've had almost the same thing happen to me in the last few weeks! I've been planning a 10-12 day ride since Christmas with a bunch of friends where we'd go down the Oregon and California coast, cut across to Joshua Tree NP, up through Vegas then onto Bryce, Zion, Capitol Reef and Moab/Arches. Depending on how we felt the long option was to continue up through Yellow stone then back across Montana, Idaho and back into Washington. This ride was supposed to be going on RIGHT NOW, but I had to bale out due to a herniated disc in my neck that I just had surgery for on Monday.<br /><br />Were you going to go to Baker City for this year's West Coast Madness gathering of Ducati ST owners the weekend of 6/19? There is some really, really good riding in eastern Oregon around Hell's Canyon and over towards Grass Valley.<br /><br />If you do get up near Washington sometime in the future give me a shout, there's a large Ducati community up here (DesmoNorthwest.com)that would love to ride with you for a day or two and I'm sure could put you up in the Seattle area.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088030514967478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17554196.post-44310698785622233512009-06-02T20:59:06.638-05:002009-06-02T20:59:06.638-05:00Mike,

I've already been to Zion.<br /><br />I’ve already ridden most of the roads in the area. The point of this ride was to visit all the parks, camp and hike. And to ride 12, 24 and 95 again. My favorite roads in Utah.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360049377814446360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17554196.post-82894359506991027912009-06-02T19:02:50.362-05:002009-06-02T19:02:50.362-05:00You can check out my last trip there here.

Natural bridge...Bryce and Capital Reef are awesome. Natural bridge is eh. Are you going across Lake Powell? Moab is stunning, especially the Mountain Loop Road which gets you up in the mountains overlooking the slickrock. Cedar Breaks is great especially the ride from the east up and over and then down into Cedar City. I recommend 12 out of Torrey through Escalante (Escalante is unreal!) to Tropic then to 89 and Panguitch on to 143 all the way to Cedar Breaks, 148 to the 14. From there back to the 89 or stay for cheap in Cedar City. Zion's is AMAZING too, especially going East to West.Mikenoreply@blogger.com
