Hey guys...I'm curious to see how many of the same guys are here since I last logged on.
For those of you who might remember me...a little update:
I kinda forgot about golf for a while...went from near scratch up to around a 10 cap, and gave up my club ho'ing ways (for the most part, just bought a set of Callaway X-Forged with some old gift certificates I found). I bought a membership for this year at the local muni and the goal is to get back down to/below a 5 by the end of the year. Practice, practice, practice.
I graduated college, I have a Bachelor's in Math with a teaching certificate, and I'm hoping to go to grad school in the fall.
I got into engines, and have a turbocharged Miata that will be capable of 300hp, a supercharged one that will be around 180-200hp, a couple other cars, and 2 bikes (ninja 650 and 250)
I bought a house, rented it out, bought another house, then sold my first house to my parents and paid off the second one, which brings me to where I am now.
I'm 22, have a pretty serious girlfriend, and have taken care of most of the responsible things in life. I'm debt-free, and pretty much obligation-free, and I want to make the most of it.
So I decided I'm going to take a little bit of time for myself and get out and see the world. I'm going to do a 48 state road trip on the bike, and I'm shooting for late May/early June. So here's what I have for a tentative plan, and I'm wondering if there's anyone on here who lives somewhere on my route (unfortunately, I can't stray too too much and stick to any sort of schedule), who might want to play some golf (I'm not bringing my clubs on the bike though), catch some dinner, or possibly put me up for a night. I'm not opposed to paying for a hotel room, I'm just hoping to meet some people
So here's the itinerary:
Day 1: Starts in NE CT, through RI, MA, ME, NH, VT, ends around Troy, NY
Day 2: Starts around Troy, NY, through PA, ends around Cleveland, OH
Day 3: Starts around Cleveland, OH, through MI, IN, ends around Chicago, IL
Day 4: Starts around Chicago, IL, through IA, WI, ends around Minneapolis, MN
Day 5: Starts around Minneapolis, MN, through ND, ends around Redfield, SD (Middle of Nowhere???)
Day 6: Starts around Redfield, SD, through NE, ends around Douglas, WY
Day 7: Starts around Douglas, WY, ends at Yellowstone in MT
Day 8: Starts in Yellowstone, ends around Lewiston, ID
Day 9: Starts around Lewiston, ID, through WA, ends around Lakeview, OR
Day 10: Starts around Lakeview, OR, through CA, NV, ends in Salt Lake City, UT (I have a friend here, going to stay for a while)
Day 11: Starts in SLC, UT, through CO, AZ, NM, ends around Albuquerque, NM (LONG day...)
Day 12: Starts around Albuquerque, NM, through TX, ends around Oklahoma City, OK
Day 13: Starts around Oklahoma City, OK, through KS, MO, ends around Little Rock, AR
Day 14: Starts around Little Rock, AR, through MS, ends around New Orleans, LA
Day 15: Starts around New Orleans, LA, through AL, FL, ends around Atlanta, GA
Day 16: Starts around Atlanta, GA, through SC, NC, ending around Knoxville, TN (Going through heaven...Deal's Gap, Cherohala Skyway, etc)
Day 17: Starts around Knoxville, TN, through VA, KY, ending around Elkins, WV
Day 18: Starts around Elkins, WV, through MD, DC, DE, ending in Perth Amvoy, NJ (visiting girlfriend's family there)
Day 19: Starts in Perth Amvoy, NJ, ending at home in Brooklyn, CT!
So let me know if you know of anything anywhere on this route that is a must see, things to do, anything you know of, any advice, any suggestions would be wonderful. Thanks guys, I hope to be checking in more this year as I get back into the game. Hope all is well!
