Once again we're departing on a funny looking motorcycle for a crossing from Bermuda to Halifax, Nova Scotia. This will also be the first trip where we should, fingers crossed, have offline posting of status updates and photos. This has been a capability I have wanted for the longest time.
Photo uploads are working. Wall Posts are working. Heading out to get tested.
Once again we are embarking on an adventure involving a funny looking motorcycle. From March 26th to April 3rd six friends and I will be aboard the Tabasco, a Baltic 76 sailboat, sailing around Sint Maarten. Since I don't have a selection for "Other" vehicle type yet, if you want to respond just select "Watch".
Weather is looking somewhat iffy but temps are in the 70's today. Chance of rain is less heading West.
A guided tour with Colorado Motorcycle Adventures / Elephant Moto starting and ending in Bogota with the purpose of putting the Miles-by-Motorcycle Ride App through field testing.
The trip that got me into sailing. I've been invited to crew on a 46' catamaran sailboat leaving from Annapolis, Maryland to St Martin. I am tempted to stand up another site just for this trip, so as to not dilute Miles By Motorcycle, but I am stretched pretty thin these days so I don't know if I'll get that done before I leave. I just find having a place where I can keep all the things around a trip in one place is just too useful, so this "ride" is where I am planning and will document my upcoming sailing adventure. Feel free to join the site and "watch" this "ride" to get notifications when I post updates. There will be a number of days when I won't have any signal so updates will be intermittent.
An impromptu trip, not expecting to find rooms during peak leaf season, Jackie and I will set out for a weekend of looking for ways to ride the smallest back roads from North Carolina to Virginia and back without riding the Interstates in roughly the same amount of time.
A quick trip. Just testing things out.
I'm going to head down to Waynesville for 5 days to help map and explore the plethora of fire service and other legal unpaved roads in the area. Unfortunately, because of time constraints, I'm going to have to travel the entire distance in a single day both on the trip down and the trip back. It's a tall exhausting order on a DR650. 637 miles on twisty back roads in a single day ...
I'm heading up most likely solo to the IMS show on Saturday in Carlisle PA. My thought is to try to take a nicer route up than to just slab it.
A week of riding the mountains along the Spain - France border.
More VA / WV / MD mapping.
Doing a 35-day lap around the lower 48 with a focus on seeing National Parks and other national treasures. Starting and ending in Bowie, Maryland
We're going to attempt a bit of a longer ride today.
A by-invitation promotional event for Colorado Motorcycle Adventures new expansion to Arizona. Meeting in Phoenix, then based out of Bisbee, there will be 4 days of riding both on and off road.
Meet at the Sheets in Frederick, KSU 0930
Stitching together a few segments found on road Curvature project maps, with a loop around Prettyboy Reservoir.
Years ago, I bought parts K100RS from Craig. He recently reached out on messenger saying he had picked up a K1300S and was interested in being shown some good local roads. I thought maybe we could show Craig and Tim some of our go to local roads maybe doing a loop up through parts of the Power of Left and then to points North looping up towards Catoctin. My only constraint is that I am having some electrical work done on Saturday so will have to wait for that to be completed. I'll post updates here as it gets close to completed. So consider the two o'clock departure time a rough guess. I figure we can all meet at Duncan's house. Seeing three K1300's following an R1100S should be a noteworthy sight.
5 riders meet in Denver then set out to explore the hardest and highest sections of the Colorado Back Country Discovery Route on a 5 day ride on the highest mountain trails.
A 2000+ mile ride through the central Appalachian Mountains over 10 Days.
