Exiting Tucker Road, we will follow it to W Tehachapi Road where we will turn left and go to the Village Grill for breakfast. After breakfast, we will fuel at the Chevron Station on W Tehachapi RoaD and then get back on the 58 East. At Highway 14 we will head north. Highway 14 merges onto the 394 North. Continuing the 395 to Olancha we will stop at the EXXON station for fuel. Then back on the 395 North to Lee Vining exiting at Main Street for a rest and fuel at the Shell Station. Once rested, fueled, relieved and hydrated, we will get back on the 395 North to Reno. We will exit at Niel Road and continue onto Frontage Road to Crummer Lane where we will turn right. This will take us to our Hotel, Aiden by Best Western. 5851 S Virginia St, Reno.  This is the Day 1 Termination Point

Day 2

We will make our way back onto Highway 395 North and exit at Highway 80 East to Winnemucca exit NV-289 where we will stop for breakfast and fuel. After the much needed stop we will make our way to Highway 95 North and ride to McDermit to stop for fuel. Then continue to Jordon Valley for another fuel/rest stop. Continuing Highway 95 to Highway 55 North to the East Highway 55. Exiting at Eagle Road, our hotel will be on the right.  Towne Place Suites by Marriott, 1415 S. Eagle Rd. This is the termination point for Day 2

We will tarry in fellowship in Meridian/Boise with other HOG and Black Sheep Chapters the following days, riding throughout the area. The local Dealership and Chapters have planned catering trucks and entertainment over the weekend. It should be pretty amazing!

On Sunday we will begin our trek back home either the same route in reverse or a different route if the group decides.

Hope to see you there!
