Riding the Grease: Show Low to Gilbert to Grand Canyon
I generally rise fairly early so that I may enjoy vibrant colors of daybreak and the morning birds. The air is crisp and clean and unlike any other time of day. I love sitting with my coffee staring into the distance and at the MCB&B the mornings were perfect! Sadly, this was the morning I…

Riding the Grease: Gilbert to Show Low, AZ
Did i want to take the long way or the short way to Show Low? I was dying for twisties after miles of straight roads, but opted for Salt River Canyon up to Show Low and 191 or the windy Coronado Trail for my return to meet Gary in Phoenix. Heading out of Phoenix

Riding the Grease: I get underway…finally
Well, the bank fiasco was one that ended up taking a serious slice of time and it was nearly noon before I was riding south, heading toward Las Vegas. Lacking the affinity for excitement like Hunter S. Thompson, I was trying to remain high on the highway and the miles simply began to slip by.…

Riding the Grease: the Great SW Moto Tour
My bike had been packed the previous day, my auspicious exit was, as usual, less than timely. I believe I finally rode out of my “valley of the gods” neighborhood at 1PM riding over Carson Pass to Monitor Pass by way of some fun little Sierra foothill roads. The passes were cold, and I was…

Agirl’s Amazing 2007 Adventure to Alaska
I have always held a respectful fascination for women who take to the road solo. Especially given there aren’t many, however when a female rider takes the road to Alaska solo, then she has really gained my undivided attention! Agirl began this journey and for all but two weeks rode alone covering 12K. WOW! I…

A Motorcycle Ride Back in Time
Yesterday four friends braved the spring winds to take a cool jaunt into history. By that I mean we traveled to visit a Civil War Re-enactment preformed in Knights Ferry, about 100 miles south of Sacramento. The route we took was less than direct so we could incorporate some of the twistier roads and avoid…

March – Back roads riding with Gary
Today, my general dislike of riding with others had a face lift. I went riding with my husband and had a delightful ride, right in our own backyard. We shot over to the gold country and traversed several back roads crisscrossing between farm country, hillsides, dams and tiny towns. The wildflowers were in full regalia…
