**Iâm going to say it⌠you CAN overplan a motorcycle trip. đď¸**
Donât get me wrong â Iâm a massive believer in preparation.
Know your route.
Know roughly where youâre getting fuel.
Have somewhere to sleep.
Know where youâre trying to end up that day.
But you donât need to plan every minute in between.
Because then youâll spot an incredible roadâŚ
âŚand ride straight past it because youâre âbehind scheduleâ.
Youâll find an amazing little cafĂŠâŚ
âŚbut youâve already planned lunch somewhere else.
Or youâll reach a viewpoint that deserves half an hourâŚ
âŚand give it five minutes because youâve got somewhere else to be.
**Thatâs not an adventure. Thatâs an appointment calendar with a motorcycle. đ**
Plan enough that you can relax.
But leave enough freedom that the trip can surprise you.
Because years later, you probably wonât remember whether you arrived at the hotel at 5:15 or 6:00.
**Youâll remember the places you nearly rode past.**
đď¸ **So which one are you?**
**PLAN EVERYTHING đ or WING IT đŞ˝?**
đ Let me know.
And send this to the mate who already has next yearâs coffee stops scheduled to the nearest minute. đ
