The scooter shop in Tucson, AZ, Scoot Over, organized a group ride to Bisbee, AZ. Six people rode 250 miles roundtrip to meet up with me and bring me into Tucson.
It was an amazing feeling to see six riders scoot in and seven ride back as a pack. I've never done a long group ride with that many people.
One Buddy St. Tropez rider, Shaun, asked if he could join me from Tucson to San Fransisco. At that point he under 700 miles on his Buddy. As of today, he just hit 1,000!
I initiated him hard today-desert winds, long miles, astounding heat. What a champ! Today's ride, 263 miles.
If you see us on the road, show some love. And please, join us if you have some time.
Scoot Scoot for Peace
We will arrive San Diego tomorrow night and stay until Saturday morning. Then on to Long Beach and to LA by Sunday. Tuesday we will probably begin the drive up the coast to San Fransisco, stopping to camp somewhere.
Hope to see yall along the way!
I'm trying to talk Shaun into blogging on www.peacescooter.com so keep your eyes out for the noobies words on traveling!

Thank you for the invitation.
$50 is 10 tanks of gas.
Is there any way I could just "trail" you all and act very nonchalant...
Like, hey, cool, look other scooterists out of the road...fancy that.
Once P.E.A.C.E SCOOT is over-I will def. make a donation in support of yours. And if your ride brings you through Maine, you have a place to stay, for sure.
Will get in touch about a place to crash...not sure yet the exact plan.
Peace!

Hey Alix, just wanted to say peace scoot is an awesome idea!
I'm hoping I might see you on my morning commute as you head through Portland! Keep an eye out for a tangerine Buddy 125! Just a heads up though, from looking at your route map it looks like you plan on riding right up I-5 through Oregon, and your photos look like you're also riding a Buddy 125. In Oregon the 125 isn't freeway legal!
