Execute the Plan!

2003 VTX Retro 1800     Mileage 81,300
What's on the Bucket List? I always wanted to ride the Colorado mountains on a bike. So, I'm off to the Coloradical . A get together for like minded riders                                                       
(http://www.coloradovtxrangeriders.com/rideinjuly/rideinjuly.htm)          
But  there's a couple of other get togethers for like minded riders.
So I added 2 more destinations to THE TRIP.
First stop on THE TRIP is the 2010 eastcoast vtx gathering in the burg with bulldog in Fredericksburg Virginia. Nothing like starting out your trip with a little party with a couple of hundred of your friends, old and new.
Next, it's on to the Coloradical for some killer riding(see above)
And finish it off with another little party in Forkland, Alabama called the BamaFest
