If the Hotel is full there are several more close by. I am pretty sure Alan and Brian will have the longest trips.........Kid

Looks like about 25 hours from here. That will be spread out over 4 days though. I try to stay off the interstates as much as possible. Lots easier pace and see a lot more interesting stuff.

933 miles from Atlanta.

I'm thinking about stopping halfway. I haven't made reservations because I'm not 100% I'm coming yet.

Brian`s will take the longest time, he`s coming by Slick power, where as Lyn and I are coming by A380, average speeds, Slick 100kmh, A380 1150kmh but were coming about 15,500km+ . from our door to Altoona 31 hrs not counting hickups. take away international date line and it only takes us 7 hrs! :lol: we actually land in LA before we left Mascot!!

after seeing that, it would be kind of hard for me to try and bow out of any ss that were held in the continental u.s. mark. lol

Its about 1573 miles for me. I am making my reservations this week. I'll be there even if I have to ride the Goldwing. It'll be a fun trip either way. Really looking forward to it.

Mileage to SS

Post by Truckrat »

According to Google Maps it is 550 from here to Altoona, give or take a few for food and potty breaks. Around an 8 hour drive if I keep it under the radar. TR
