Day 9–Keystone to Cortez, UT
Day Nine—Keystone to Cortez There was a chill in the air as I road out of the 10K foot elevation of Keystone and realized that I would remain in high elevations until I reached the Utah border. Even Mesa Verde area lies between six and eight thousand feet but breathing would be easier than it…

Days 4 to 8 – AMA Women and Motorcycling Conference…I made it!!
Redstone to Keystone could have been reached by any number of roadways, but I chose to take Independence Pass, a road that was highly praised by several riders. I chose Hwy 82 to Hwy 24 to Hwy 91 to Hwy 70 getting off on Hwy 6 to Keystone. So, once again I packed up my…

Day 3–Moab, UT to Redstone, CO
Since I have a moment…I thought I’d throw up a few more pix! Since I arrived in Keystone and the AMA Women and Motorcycling Conference, it has been a whirlwind of events.

The CO journey begins! Sacramento, CA to Ely, NV
Had the bike packed and was on the road by 9am. For those of you that know me, this is a serious feat considering I didn’t make my usual 5 trips back into the house for forgotten items! It’s amazing when a plan comes together. The one thing I didn’t plan was how chilly it…

Falling into a new career…
Ok, now I have heard about actors finding wait person employment as they rung up the career ladder, but this is certainly a new perspective and seems very dangerous and a bit silly, imo. The Times of India released an article on August 2nd about a new MTV show entitled MTV Stuntmania giving stunt women…
