Part 5–Visiting some desert rats–A solo journey across NV, UT, AZ, NM, CO, TX
I was up early considering I had gone to bed early, I wasn’t too surprised. I got the bike packed and left Holbrook after some coffee and a quick bite at the motel around 8 am. It was a bit chilly, so I donned my Kilmanjaro jacket and called it good. I knew it would […]
Part 4–Visiting some desert rats–A solo journey across NV, UT, AZ, NM, CO, TX
The following morning, I packed the bike heading across West Texas and into New Mexico in some of the most windy riding ever. On to see friends in Truth or Consequences, NM I wanted to ride toward NM without getting back onto I40, so instead I went through several small working farm towns and once […]
Part 3–Visiting some desert rats–A solo journey across NV, UT, AZ, NM, CO, TX
For the next few days, I hung out with Dave, Betty and Don and we explored that which only West Texas can offer, like the esoteric Cadillac Ranch for one! Don generously offered to drive me around to see the sights, which was perfect so we could talk and I was able to garnish the […]
Visiting some desert rats–A solo journey across NV, UT, AZ, NM, CO, TX

Stay tuned for the follow up with words and photos of the Bikes and Babes: Quintessential Female Riders…
My Grandmother, Vera Evangeline War I began thinking about this post a while ago and finally am about to actually let the women who ride, speak for themselves. Bikes and Babes–What constitutes the quintessential female rider? Who are those women who ride? What are they thinking? Next week you’ll be able to answer that question […]
My friend Karen–Adventurer Extraordinaire!!
When one of my riding buddies went across country on a solo adventure, I didn’t think much about it. She’s an outstanding rider and no stranger to solo travel. But knowing this didn’t distill the surprise I had when I pasted in the query of “women in motorcycling” and one of the first returns was […]
Bikes and Babes–What constitutes the quintessential female rider?
google image By breaking the stereotype of the biker babe with our new female rider demographic, I believe we are changing the face of the female motorcycle community. We are succeeding in re-branding exactly how female riders are now perceived. But it comes with a new challenge: who is the new moto-female and how can […]
Woman riding solo: Reflected
I’ve had lots of time this winter to contemplate the solo tour, of which I have been partaking the last several years. In looking back I found some old blog posts that pretty well summed up the solo ride, at least for my purposes and I believe they speak to many. Riding Solo: A Woman’s […]
