48 States in 10 Days?
June 3-11, 2021
The time is here! I have been dreaming, planning, and more planning to do the Iron Butt Association’s 48 State Challenge for over a year. I searched out those that have gone before, reading their blogs, and forum posts and comparing routes they have been willing to share. I use a web-based software program
Desert & Mountain Roads
October 28 - November 1, 2020
It’s been a busy fall trying to work on my Iron Butt Association’s National Park Tour and Harley-Davidson’s HOG Ride 365 which has several parts. The National Park Tour will go over the end of the year, but the HOG rides will end at the end of the year.
Colorado High
October 1 - 4, 2020
The annual fall ride! For the last 5 years, we have headed to Colorado to see the fall colors on the first weekend of October. The first time we went the colors were unbelievable in their vibrance. It was also a little rainy which brought out the colors even more. Since then, we have headed back to relive that ride…still chasing that first-time high!
The Grand Ride
Aug 27-28, 2020
Once again on the road, what better place could there be?
This is a quick weekend getaway to somewhere cooler and just a nice easy ride, and to relax in the great outdoors. I’m also testing a sheep-skin seat cover, even though my friends are trying to shame me about it. I’m also going back to my leather chaps for the heat. I’ve been wearing nylon adventure-style pants and the heat from the bike engine has really been burning my right leg.
August 13-16, 2020
The heat is brutal and with no rain, for months I’ve been looking forward to fall. That said, I realize that summer is quickly fading away, the days are getting shorter and I want to ride more. I started marking my calendar on which weekends I can get away and it is not enough!

Are you adventurous? Adventurous according to Google, means eager for adventure — an adventure always has an element of the unknown. Being adventurous means you're willing to go where you haven't been before and do things you've never done, even if you don't know how it's going to turn out.
