Riding the World…2012
Every year I like to do a culmination slide show of the year of riding. This year I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to ride with one of my best pals, Tyler Risk. We did a 3500 mile ride up to the great Northwest and Canada in the summer, seeing some absolutely gorgeous…

Part 4–California Chicks Converge on Canada
On our way to Elkford, BC. This was to be my third trip to the Nelson area, the first being in 2007 when I made my epic solo journey covering seven states and two provinces. I had only been riding for three years and was excited to take such a long and adventerous journey. I…

Part 3–California Chicks Converge on Canada
Leaving Grangeville was a wee bit chilly as the morning temps were barely 48 degrees. I was still stunned that since leaving Nevada we encountered very little “summer”. Bundled up with my heated gear we headed to Montana. Tyler, bundled like a kid in a snowsuit! All the wild flowers were in bloom on this…

Well, I have thus far neglected to impress what it’s like traveling with a celebrity. By celebrity, I mean the CanAm, what else did you think I meant??

A ride approaches…
Kootenay Lake, BC, Canada As many of you know, I tend to be a distance rider and less of a daily rider. I’m quite content to wile my day away swimming in the backyard pool, or creating a fashion collage. I have even been know to do an original piece of artwork or a fine…

Evil evil drugs…a little advice when crossing Canadian borders!
I learned my lesson this past summer when traveling to Canada with a friend and at the border crossing we were asked, “do you have any prescription drugs”, to which we both answered “yes”. Well then came the query of how they were packaged. The border patrol was actually very nice, as he informed us…
