80 miles
Shit! It’s hard to believe it’s already mid June. Where has the year been going? Life is becoming more and more like “old normal.” Work travel is starting to pick up again. While back east I got to see my family again, which was great! I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do the Monterey…

Eighty Thousand Strong
This was going to be the trip where the bike rolled over 80,000 miles. I had thought I might’ve made it on the Easter ride, but I was about 20 miles short and didn’t want to just ride the bike to pound out those 20 miles. This trip was almost going to be a carbon…

Rolling Home – 226 Miles
Getting into town was a bit of an adventure. I turned on the wrong dirt road winding up in someone’s backyard that I didn’t think they wanted me there. With a bit of backtracking and some help from the phone, I made my way from dirt road one over to dirt road two and found…

Running down the coast
Last year the trip to Death Valley came and went and I decided not to go. I regretted that decision and was determined to go this year. I’ve wanted to start going on trips that have more miles per day and this seemed like a good trip to start. The last day was 500 miles,…

Two Wheels to Four
Southern California is a place I’ve not often visited, almost disproportionally for as much as I travel in this state and for as long as I’ve been here. I don’t know if it’s just the fact that I’m prejudiced against it or if it’s just never appealed to me. I often think that it’s full…
