6 Sep 2019 Well, off we go, unfortunately time to point north… Dipping out of Georgia and beginning to move through the South Carolina countryside I couldn’t help but notice a historical marker on the banks of the Broad River commemorating the Revolutionary War Battle of Fishdam Ford, which of all things, happened near...
5 Sep 2019 Totally off the motorcycle subject, but… way cool if you ask me! After breakfast today this rig rolled in and set up. Turns out that Al needed some trees removed and found this team to do it for him. I’d never seen tree work done with a crane – it was...
3 Sep 2019 Day 4, here we go! Light travel day today, only about 150 miles. It was just a bit much last night so we stopped, later start and meander along. Out of the mountains now so the terrain is flat, not supper interesting from a roads/riding perspective. Well, in no time we...
2 Sep 2019 Yawn, stretch, get those feet on the floor! Peek out the window, It’s looking oh so nice out there this morning. Well, let’s get those saddle bags packed up and ready. Before heading out we said good bye to our host, what a sweet lady. Another ‘classic’ AirBnB, normal folks practicing...
1 Sep 2019 Good Morning! Well, first order of business is a cup of coffee, sit with me? :-). Then, as our brains awake the second thing is to start figuring out where to go today… so many choices! Ok, here is a logistics problem with the route planning… The PC/web browser version of...
31 Aug 2019 Prelude Well, here we go… However, before you can go anywhere you have to have some kind of a plan, right? The outline of this ride coalesced around two ideas: last years Michigan trip and AIT graduation. We had such a fabulous ride last year we imagined something very similar for...
Sunday 12 Aug 2018 Well up and at’em! The place was very nice, a small ranch purchased for the host’s mother, family taking care of family. Now there are guests in the front and… puppies in the back. Well, enough fun for one morning… Packed up and on the road. Breakfast at a local...
Saturday 11 Aug 2018 Woke up this morning hoping for some favorable weather… Quick check shows predictions of scattered rain tapering off over the the course of the day and with each mile east. Not perfect, but way better than yesterday and certainly heading in the right direction. We packed up, ate in the...
Friday 10 Aug 2018 Good morning! Yawn, stretch! Open your eyes, time for some coffee ;-). Look out the window, oh oh pretty dark. Check the weather; looks like we are going to be getting wet. Well, it’s early, probably should make the most of it and get going :-). First stop: breakfast. The...
Thursday 9 Aug 2018 Ok, today was unique in many ways… Shortest ride. Most ‘touristy’. Air B&B letdown :-(. Last night we were poking around on the map trying to figure out which way to go. Drop down into the heartland? Follow the lake? Target New York before starting south? Then we noticed a...
