I know that feeling. I'm planning an October trip to Vermont and New Hampshire, and the rest of New England as well as NYC/Long Island. I can't stop planning / map reading myself

So now it's my fault is it???? Jeez can't even be helpful without being verballed :

Hope you're having fun with it. I've got to plan possible routes from the island to Mt Lofty, the Flinders and back again for October :

Sad thing is we'll probably avoid the GOR as it's likely to be busy and patrolled straight after the MotoGP.

once you start baking, it will become clear.

and sometimes the unplanned route leads to more beautiful paths.

Robin, I know exactly what you mean. The other day Tito said something about riding a motorcycle to Alaska in two years, and now I can't stop thinking about long-distance touring. I've been wasting ridiculous amounts of time looking at adventure-touring bikes and gear online.
