Goin’ South–A female tale from the desert of the Southwest USA Pt.2
Ride ideas are sometimes altered. Beatty to LV was miserable, hot, straight and boring, but from LV to St. George was even worse. I believe that every bad driver in both NV and UT were on the interstate. I could hardly wait to get off onto Hwy 89 and then after a few miles of…

Goin’ South–A female tale from the desert of the Southwest USA Pt.1
Another great adventure began…one of “what comes next”, as I stood helpless watching the State of NV take my father to be evaluated. Well, I guess not helpless, as I could have gone and gathered him up and brought him to live with Gary and me, only life as we know and enjoy it would…

My new baby!!! Bandito2

I rode from Windsor over 128 to Spanish Flat, by accident and then onward through Winters making my way via backroads to Sacramento.

Going for Montana Floss
Kluts, who mentioned that he was riding to Montana to see his friend Gurdon (Murph), lit a fire under me. I had to go. I just had to! Following on the shirt tales of my awesome ride in Spain, I figured nothing could compare to those glorious days spent riding southern Espana, that is until…

Viajar por España – Part 4
An early start was a very difficult thing in Spain since one never eats until well past 10pm and then after walking off dinner, I found myself getting back to the motel near midnight and then I simply had to view the day’s photos. I don’t believe I ever got to bed much before 1-2…

Viajar por España – Part 3
The next few days—Granada and the Albaicín I entered Granada hot and tired after a full day of riding the Sierra Nevada Range. The temperatures were rising to a dull 39C / 102F and the traffic of the city made for some confusion and chaos as I tried to negotiate the way to the hotel.…
