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. Between seminars, test rides, walking in this gorgeous country that winds the heck out of anyone not used to 10K elevations, and meeting…

Day 2–Ely, NV to Moab, UT
The morning came early or maybe I should say the night never ended. Down the hall in the Hotel Ely, a vintage hotel casino, a lively all night party brewed and by 2 am I’d had quite enough. Rather than yell out the door as others had done and been ignored, I put on earplugs.…

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…

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…

On the Road!
My friends Ara and Spirit reminded me yesterday that I had been off and about and hadn’t spoken a word on my blog! The oversight is all mine! I thank you Ara!!! I have been writing behind the scenes but have not yet finished my ride report, but then what is a ride report? I…
