Notwithstanding my slow start with Senility this year, I am planning a road trip in 2016 if my physical condition is no worse than this year. (Stuff happens when one gets old.) My trip will be from Jefferson County in eastern Idaho to mostly Union County in eastern Oregon. Total trip length will be probably less than 2000 miles, which includes about 1000 highway miles.
My whole purpose is to explore off-pavement roads and trails in Union and Baker Counties, which comprise most of my ancestral homeland. I'm planning about three weeks in late August and early September.
I intend to stay off the interstates as much as reasonably achievable. The main reason is to maximize fuel mileage. I also prefer the scenery on the other highways.
So...Is this reasonable on those blocky TKC80s that came with my NC700X (named Senility)? Or, should I spring for a trailer?
Thanks
PS - Not being exclusionary. If this seems OK, I will be posting my completed plans in the Rides forum.
