    Wrapping it up

    I got to have lunch with a fraternity brother of mine over in Tucker. I’ve missed him on prior visits to Atlanta, so it was nice to see him this time. I am looking forward… Read more

    Costal Plain back to Piedmont: 300 miles

    Every story has it’s climax. For this story that has passed. With the drive back west, it’s all “downhill” from here. All that remains now is riding the bike back to Atlanta and then dropping… Read more

    The Tybee Island Round Trip – 30 miles

    As luck would have it the bike does not start. The electrical issues that got me in Atlanta were back. Now the question was could I fix it with a new battery or were there… Read more

    Piedmont to Coastal Plain: 300 miles

    At this point I’ve lost the sense of what “Monday” means with nearing three weeks on the road. It’s strange to have the bike in Georgia, sort of an out of place thing even though… Read more

    North Georgia. . . As good as I remember It (100 miles)

    It was Father’s Day so I needed to pick up a card & gift for Dad as I didn’t have much room on the bike to carry it. I wound up getting a foam roller… Read more

    Murfreesboro, TN to Atlanta, GA – 252 Miles

    My eye was not doing well. I have a solid bump on the eyelid that is painful to close. It wasn’t materially worse than it was last night, but not better either. I really wanted… Read more

    Leaving Savannah was hard. Saying goodbye to Lisa was really hard. I was glad to have stayed the extra day so I could spend more time with her. Today’s drive was about six hours most… Read more

    The Low Country

    Driving with kids is an entirely whole different ball game. You’ve got to focus on the road ahead and the baby behind. Lisa was great for most of the trip. About halfway through she let… Read more

    Lisa comes home!

    Peace and tranquility ended in Atlanta on Wednesday. Brittany and Lisa flew in from Savannah on Wednesday. It’s been about four months since I’ve seen her, and man do kids grow. She’s about 6 months… Read more
