    Day 4… WHAT. A. DAY!! I had a date today. Lol. Meeting up and hanging out with a college friend who resides near Co. Springs now. So I dressed in my “nice” clothes instead of my “bike” clothes. Well, this includes a pair of shorts. That I normally wear with a belt. But I didn’t pack a...

    Here I Go Again...

    Sometimes it is my iPhone that I have in the ram mount on the dash shelf... and sometimes it is my point and shoot Nikon camera that I keep in the tank bag. Just depends on what kind of picture I want, and how much time I have. Usually it's the iPhone. Has a good quality front facing camera...

    I have a Sena 10c unit on my helmet. Camera and communicator. Pictures and video capable. And yes- that pie left me speechless. Well, maybe not speechless. Just moaning. Lol.

    Here I Go Again...

    Day 3! This morning, the boys packed up for their week on the dirt in the mountains. I chilled and packed for a day ride. We decided to ride to Pikes Peak together. Big Foot anyone? Something funny I heard from the employee in the gift shop. They’ve had an influx in Big Foot sightings…...

    Here I Go Again...

    Oh, and here’s a funny for you. Lol. I seem to explode when I go into a hotel room… And no, Pants, there is no underwear in this picture. Hahaha!! Heat-Out gear draped over the TV, water jugs on the microwave, clothes bags (newly re-organized), suit strewn out on the floor, and laptop...

    Here I Go Again...

    Day 1!!! So I got a little later start than I had originally planned. I guess I valued sleep more than an early ride. Lol. So I headed out at 7am. And made my way west. Out of Ohio! See you in 2 weeks! Hello Indiana! And the travel was mostly smooth. I ride rather cautious, and...

    Another sad reminder to not ride in formation

    That looks to be the crash that John and Brian were at the scene of. Sad stuff.

    Here I Go Again...

    Thanks everybody!! I'm getting pretty excited!! And yes, I hope to get up Mt Evans this year! The first year I was in the area, the road to the top was closed. Last summer, I was in the area, but the weather was not pleasant, and I was cutting it close on time to get home. Maybe 3rd time...

    Here I Go Again...

    I am headed out again this summer!!! And because it is easier to recall the day’s adventure that same evening (rather than at the end of the trip), I will be doing another ride-n-write journey report. For this trip, I will be heading to Colorado. And I will be in the state for 10 nights- 2...

    Official 2017 SW-FOG meet-up, Aug 3-6, Loveland, CO

    Yes, I procrastinated too long in booking a room. And for those that know me- that is something I hate to do! I was kicking myself for not booking it sooner. Well, a huge thanks goes to Abercrombie... I was able to slide into the room he is vacating in the Fairfield. Super friendly hotel...

    well shooty-patooty. I just now called the hotel to make a reservation. Room block is full, and she also said that they are completely booked for that weekend. So it looks like I will be trying for a room at a neighboring hotel...

    Hostage of Photobucket

    Well, I've just received the dreaded email. This occurs just a few days after I decided to invest $2.50/month for ad free. (And a recent RR) Guess I will be looking for a new photo uploading site. Sounds like smug mug is a good choice? And here I was, just getting used to Photobucket....
