Well, after that wonderful fist day what comes next??? How about some breakfast in this unique mercantile. Couldn’t help but smile at the signage :-). How to describe the place? I suppose it’s a modern day “Tourist’s General Store” in the form of a soft Cretan Labyrinth fueled by the siren of consumables rather...
So… this will be our big trip for the year. Hey, every wonder what to pack for a long motorcycle trip? We break things into two chunks: personal stuff, and common stuff. Personal things are, well, personal. Normal stuff like clothes and those hygiene items supporting civil society. Two people, two saddle bags, works...
Spring has sprung and we had some nice weather to get out in for a trip to North Carolina. Come on along...
Metro DC BMW Group Ride – Apple House & Morgans Ford Well, we’ve been wanting to meet some folks and ride with a larger group so… today’s the day! Weather wasn’t really cooperating; one trip we signed up for canceled but these folks were hardy and pressed on. A little farther away from us,...
What a pleasant stop for the night. Kathy was such a wonderful host, we sat and talked over coffee for a good part of the morning. Eventually it was time to go though, pack and get ready, then scoot down the driveway and point north. Just down the road we saw the sign for...
Daylight sure came early today :-). Quick bite to eat and we’re off… The morning is bright, the air is cool, the road is full of twists and turns. So perfect. I wonder what we will find today??? Ah we found this, the Fairfax Stone. Headwaters of the Potomac and the extent of Lord...
Well, the day we have been waiting for has finally arrived. A quick, but good nights sleep and its time to get moving. Up at a reasonable time, breakfast done, time to get the bike packed and us ready. After the obligatory selfie to mark the start of our journey we are off… It...
Prelude Well, getting a little bit restless for a longer trip. We have been out and about for some local and extended local rides, but have not had a chance to go long yet this summer – this weekend we’ll break free! Where? Thinking, thinking…. Well, we do have obligations at the land and...
As I have been taking photos, marking the map, and scribbling notes about wondering here and there I started bumping up against a problem. What to do wit those rides that are not exactly ‘around the house’ but not proper road trips either…. hummm, chin scratch. Ah, got it, make up another category! Extended...
Well, session three of flight training went pretty well. I had a couple of ideas that I wanted to try so got the bike out and headed off to take a a few shots…. The first shot is from St Annes. Such a beautiful place, facing the sun, and absolutely charming. I was so...
