I've been asked to crew on Tabasco. The vessel is currently anchored in shelter waiting for the storm to pass. I'm taking a bus up to join them. It's anticipated to be a 27 hour sail but the weather forecast has changed somewhat.
Ian is travelling cross country on his new bike. I'm meeting him in West Virginia and will take him on some of the best roads I know between there and home.
4 days on the road. 2 nights at the Ft. Lewis Lodge in Virginia, one of Jackie's favorite spots, one night at The Old Jail in Tazewell, then home. We'll be meeting friends at the Ft Lewis Lodge.
I am riding sweep for a tour group traversing the COBDR. I am going to use this opportunity for testing the MBM mobile app and post the results here.
Once again we're departing on a funny looking motorcycle for a crossing from Bermuda to Halifax, Nova Scotia. This will also be the first trip where we should, fingers crossed, have offline posting of status updates and photos. This has been a capability I have wanted for the longest time.
Photo uploads are working. Wall Posts are working. Heading out to get tested.
Once again we are embarking on an adventure involving a funny looking motorcycle. From March 26th to April 3rd six friends and I will be aboard the Tabasco, a Baltic 76 sailboat, sailing around Sint Maarten. Since I don't have a selection for "Other" vehicle type yet, if you want to respond just select "Watch".
Weather is looking somewhat iffy but temps are in the 70's today. Chance of rain is less heading West.
A guided tour with Colorado Motorcycle Adventures / Elephant Moto starting and ending in Bogota with the purpose of putting the Miles-by-Motorcycle Ride App through field testing.
The trip that got me into sailing. I've been invited to crew on a 46' catamaran sailboat leaving from Annapolis, Maryland to St Martin. I am tempted to stand up another site just for this trip, so as to not dilute Miles By Motorcycle, but I am stretched pretty thin these days so I don't know if I'll get that done before I leave. I just find having a place where I can keep all the things around a trip in one place is just too useful, so this "ride" is where I am planning and will document my upcoming sailing adventure. Feel free to join the site and "watch" this "ride" to get notifications when I post updates. There will be a number of days when I won't have any signal so updates will be intermittent.
An impromptu trip, not expecting to find rooms during peak leaf season, Jackie and I will set out for a weekend of looking for ways to ride the smallest back roads from North Carolina to Virginia and back without riding the Interstates in roughly the same amount of time.
A quick trip. Just testing things out.
I'm going to head down to Waynesville for 5 days to help map and explore the plethora of fire service and other legal unpaved roads in the area. Unfortunately, because of time constraints, I'm going to have to travel the entire distance in a single day both on the trip down and the trip back. It's a tall exhausting order on a DR650. 637 miles on twisty back roads in a single day ...
I'm heading up most likely solo to the IMS show on Saturday in Carlisle PA. My thought is to try to take a nicer route up than to just slab it.
A week of riding the mountains along the Spain - France border.
More VA / WV / MD mapping.
Doing a 35-day lap around the lower 48 with a focus on seeing National Parks and other national treasures. Starting and ending in Bowie, Maryland
We're going to attempt a bit of a longer ride today.
