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...
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...
RLT: Augusta Bound – Leg 6
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...
RLT: Augusta Bound – Leg 5
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...
RLT: Augusta Bound – Leg 4
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...
