4 Jul 2020 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...
RLT: West Virginia Loop, Day Two
3 Jul 2020 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...
RLT: West Virginia Loop, Day One
2 Jul 2020 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...
RLT: West Virginia Loop, Day Zero
Prelude 1 Jul 2020 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...
RLT: Local Roads, Extended
2 May 2020 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...
Flight Training: Saturday Ride
15 Mar 2020 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....
Flight Training: Round Two
12 Mar 2020 Well, the journey continues… I have three short clips to share from the last couple of days as I continue to try and figure this thing out! Looking over the shots as I prep to write this I am amazed all over again at how much gets packed into such a...
Flight Training: First Flights
7 Mar 2020 Well, I’ve been thinking about, and looking at drones for a while now…. and, I finally took the plunge. It was a crazy busy week and I ended it more than a little tired and in need of some R&R. So, this was it! There are plenty of ‘unboxing’ videos out...
RLT: Local Roads
Ride ‘all’ the roads near home… 1 Jan 2020 As it turns out Southern Maryland is a wonderful place to ride… Before getting the bike I suspected it was true, having been down a number of little two-lane county roads in the car. That notion was confirmed in spades as I began looking for...
RLT: Augusta Bound – Leg 7
7 Sep 2019 Well, last day… Fairly light, only about 190 miles through Virginia, but first things first – need a little gas! Couldn’t help but wish we could have dropped into Bubba’s to see what kinda thangs was on the menu :-). Love coming across these gems waaaaay off the beaten path. This...
