Bucket list, whats on it?

This topic has been floating around our house these last few days,
certainly some epic rides are on my list, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, eh maybe France too.

In the US, Vermont, Montana, and California, what is on your list?

To invade a neighboring country and impose my own ideology. Any of the countries you mentioned would do.

I'd like to ride across the US, not RAAM but a more sedate pace.

But I guess that's not exactly what you mean . . .

Are we talking a cycling related bucket list?


There is great riding all over the world, I think some of the stuff on my list would be.

1.) Ride across the US, Boston to Seattle, or possibly via Rt. 20.
2.) Winter rides in Santa Ynez California, Tucson AZ,
3.) Ride in North Carolina
4.) RAMROD
5.) Ride cobbles in Northern France & Belgium... ride up the muur, and kopeburg, maybe ride a lap on the Roubaix velodrome.
5.) Bike around Tuscany
6.) Spend a winter in Girona, Spain
7.) Climb Mauna Kea or Haleakala in Hawaii, from sea level
8.) Teach my (yet to be born kids) to ride


Probably others too. I'll have to poach some of your ideas....

If a "bucket list" is a list of things you want to do before you die, then I would hope that happiness has already been crossed off the list - hopefully it is already a regular occurrence in your life. If it isn't, then that's unfortunate.

Perhaps it is on the list because you want happiness to be a constant part of your life. In that case, I wish you all the best in your quest.

visit the bike shop in caldonazzo

that was on the list last summer, along with watch a real stage of the Tour de France. It was a great experience on both ends, and memories I will be keeping for a long time.
