Not only will you be able to go beyond the gates and see parts of the Ridge Route that are normally closed, but you will be able to help maintain it as well.

In time, I hope to be able to get these made as a fundraiser for the Ridge Route Preservation Organization, and not just for motorcycles. I shall also be finally taking this plate, and the motorcycle over the entirety of the Ridge Route in the not-too-distant future.

Views From The Ridge Route

In December 2019 and January 2020, I had the chance to take a couple of trips over the Ridge Route. Once this current situation is over, I fully intend to get back up there for a multitude of reasons. As I cannot get up there at present and we’re all still on some form of …
