California here we come!

We are ready to rumble.  This Friday at 8:45 a.m. we lift off from Logan.  By mid-afternoon we should be tackling San Francisco.  It will be a tame night, if I have anything to do with it, so that we can be ready to pick up our bikes early Saturday morning.  Can't wait to hit the road.

It is about 190 miles from San Fran to Yosemite.  We start at Dubbelju Rentals (http://bit.ly/d96F9y ), go north across the Golden Gate Bridge and then who knows from there.  One possible route is highlighted in the map to the left.

We will be riding KTM Adventure 990's (See photo).  I have never heard of KTM, much less ridden one.  I rely on Eric's expertise on these matters.  He says that they are great bikes, made more for performance and handling than for touring.  Should make for fun riding inside the park.

Eric made reservations in tent cabins for the first couple of nights ( see http://bit.ly/1agyBf ).  I trust he knows what he is doing.  

Look for our first post on Friday night.

Later!
