This year’s ride will take place in June or July and go through parts of the Idaho BDR north into Canada.
The proposed route is here:
2020 Ride
2019 Ride
In July of 2019 I rode from Spokane, WA to Harvey, ND for a family reunion. On the way home I rode the old Highway 2 in ND, through MT to visit Scobey, MT where my Father’s blood family lived for a few years, then north into Canada to visit Assinaboia, SK where I saw a few photos with city signs in the background.
I’ll add additional photos and notes below.
2018 Rides
My 2018 ride was minimal due my father dying as well as me changing job and location.
In May of 2018 my father’s cancer finally took his life. I rode up to South Dakota from Phoenix that final trip as I’d done many times over the years, but on the way up it was to make sure I’d be there for his final weeks.
May Route from Phoenix to Rapid City:
Phoenix, AZ to Grand Junction, CO
Grand Junction, CO to Denver, CO

Made to Phoenix where I began the process accepting a job from a new company, selling my home in Phoenix, buying a home in Spokane (see route below), and moving from AZ to WA.
