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...
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...
