College Park to IMS Show in Carlisle PA

This adventure took place on 'Saturday September 11th, 2021'

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.

Post Injury K1300S Test Ride, Attempt 2

This adventure took place on 'Saturday September 5th, 2020'

So Saturday's ride attempt was a bust because of a nail Duncan found in his tire. We managed to get the tire replaced so the plan is to attempt an initial post injury K1300S ride on Saturday. Hopefully, we can get an earlier start than what we've mustered lately, but sleep has been so elusive for me.

Post Injury K1300S Test Run

This adventure took place on 'Friday September 4th, 2020'

On Friday, we're going to do a test run to see if Duncan can manage the K1300S with his banged up leg. Things went so well when riding the DR650SE that we think there's a decent chance it'll be ok. As such, there's no real plan. We're just going to take it cautiously and see how it goes.

Duncan to my great surprise showed up spontaneously and declared that we needed to go for a ride since it had been too long. Who was I to disagree?

Training Ride

This adventure took place on 'Sunday March 8th, 2020'

Riding with Farida today on a moderate initial training ride. We'll focus on mild to moderate back country roads with little traffic possibly interspersed with some parking lot work. There will be frequent stops. Depending on how things are going we might make it as far as Gambrills Park Road which is one of my favorite in the area.

Coaching Farida

This adventure is underway.
This is an invitation only adventure.

I thought I had it out of my system, but I do not, so I've decided to coach a new rider, one of Yun's friends. The weather is nice today and I haven't been on a bike in 3 months so I'll take a few hours out and spend it away from the computer. I've made plenty of progress so I can probably afford a short break.

Random Southern Maryland Chesapeake Coastal Ride

This adventure took place on 'Saturday October 5th, 2019'

First properly cool day in ages. We have no particular plan. The thought is to stop by Bob's BMW and buy some parts and then head somewhere. Not sure where. Maybe McGinty's for dinner ... well, probably McGinty's for dinner.

Another Attempt at West

This adventure took place on 'Sunday September 22nd, 2019'

Last week we got rained out and opted to ride the Delmarva Peninsula. My thought is to go explore a few roads in a blank spot on the map just North West of Front Royal and just go exploring from there. It's supposed to be warm but the chance of rain is low.

Eastern Loop

This adventure took place on 'Saturday September 14th, 2019'

The weather is turning sour in all points West. If we go that way we'll very likely get wet based on Wunderground forecasts. Looking around there's one area we've never ridden to before. It's just super boring long and flat but we have not done a loop out to Ocean City. My thought, as reflected on the plan, is to head across the bridge to Ocean city and then loop up and over through Chesapeake city. It'd be a right proper 340+ mile ride but consisting mostly of slab.

A Hot Sunday Ad-Hoc Ride

This adventure took place on 'Sunday August 18th, 2019'

It's super hot outside, the car thermometer read 98. We're planning on heading out on another late afternoon/early evening ride to roughly the same area as yesterday to see what other roads we can find. And I'm sure, as is customary, I will find my way to McGinty's afterwards. I've added the tracks from yesterday's ride and the ride we did with Garrett to the plan just for easy reference.

Short Evening "Dodge Thunderstorms" Ride

This adventure took place on 'Saturday August 17th, 2019'

Complications got in the way of riding today so we're getting a wicked late start. There are popup thunderstorms to the South and East and the sky overhead is turning dark, but I suspect we'll try anyway. McGinty's Probably later.

Short Ad-Hoc Evening Ride

Due to distractions with boats, it's been way too long since we've gotten out on the bikes. A short evening ride is better than no ride at all ...

Saturday Street Ride

This adventure took place on 'Saturday June 22nd, 2019'

Looking ahead with the idea of maybe getting more people involved, I'm pondering a street bike ride on Saturday. The weather looks like it's going to be good. I have a dinner commitment in the evening around 7 near route 70 and 32. I'll put some ideas on the map for discussion.
