Short Evening "Dodge Thunderstorms" Ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday August 17th, 2019'
Complications got in the way of riding today so we're getting a wicked late start. There are popup thunderstorms to the South and East and the sky overhead is turning dark, but I suspect we'll try anyway. McGinty's Probably later.
Short Ad-Hoc Evening Ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday July 28th, 2019'
Due to distractions with boats, it's been way too long since we've gotten out on the bikes. A short evening ride is better than no ride at all ...
Saturday Street Ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday June 22nd, 2019'
Looking ahead with the idea of maybe getting more people involved, I'm pondering a street bike ride on Saturday. The weather looks like it's going to be good. I have a dinner commitment in the evening around 7 near route 70 and 32. I'll put some ideas on the map for discussion.
R1100S Shake Down Saturday Ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday May 18th, 2019'
We just finished up with the master clutch cylinder and left heated grip on the R11 so now we're heading off into the likely wet to go for a ride North and West.
Ad Hoc Saturday Ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday June 8th, 2019'
The weather is good. I slept horribly and am too tired to turn wrenches so the thought is to go explore a local blank section on the map through Little Bennett Regional Park and skinny roads North and East of there. This is planned to be a street ride.
Saturday Cottage Ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday March 30th, 2019'
It's been almost three months since we've ridden but I also need to check up on the Virginia Cottage so the thought is to combine a ride with a trip there.
Ad-hoc late Sunday ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday January 6th, 2019'
I've been having epic sleep problems of late. As a result this will be another short-ish late afternoon street ride. Forecast is for a high of 50degF. No particular destination is in mind yet.
Lancaster Area Ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday September 30th, 2018'
The thought is to take the big bikes up to the area between Lancaster and Philadelphia to explore some of the roads that have been suggested. We'll probably slab it back down 95.
Saturday Apple Orchard Ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday September 22nd, 2018'
A ride starting out at Point of Rocks MD, and heading up to PA apple country.
Random Sunday Avoid the Rain Ride North and East
This adventure took place on 'Sunday September 16th, 2018'
We've gotten Duncan's K1300S back together. The front wheel is straightened and the wheel bearings have been replaced. We mounted new Pilot Road 5's on it. So the thought is to go for a little ride heading out into an area we have not explored to the North and East of Baltimore.
Little Saturday Ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday August 25th, 2018'
This is an abbreviated ad-hoc street ride just to get out on the bikes for a while before we have to go to Duncan's mom's birthday dinner. I'm not yet sure where we'll go.
Random straight and slab ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday July 14th, 2018'
After too much twistiness, I'm craving some gawdawful superslab. Duncan wants to go ride the section of I95 that's about to get shut down once the I95 project is completed this fall. From there maybe a waterfall or two.
A Ride into the Serious Heat
This adventure took place on 'Sunday July 1st, 2018'
Heat advisories all over the place. We're going to head out looking for cooler climes to the South.
Cool Weather Sunday Day Ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday April 29th, 2018'
The original plan was to ride the DR's up to Michaux but it's a bit chilly so we've opted to take the street bikes. The thought is to head down to Route 33 and then loop back up through Rough Run Road (an MTSweger suggestion). We haven't been on 33 in a few years.
Skyline Drive Ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday April 22nd, 2018'
The plan, if it's not too cold, is to ride the length of Skyline Drive tomorrow.
Another Saturday DC Area Local Ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday April 14th, 2018'
Where should we go today?
Ad Hoc Sunday Ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday April 1st, 2018'
It's been quite a while since we've managed to get out.
Rolling Week Long Good Roads Ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday June 10th, 2018'
This year's trip will be shorter than previous ones. We are considering a four day Virginia/West Virginia/Ohio loop ride. In a recent mapping trip with Wayne, I came across some truly nice roads only a few hours away so the thought would be to get to good roads quickly.
First Ride of 2018
This adventure took place on 'Sunday January 21st, 2018'
It's been since Nov 18th since we've ridden. There's no real plan of where to ride. North and West? West? Local road? Olney? South? Not sure.
Ride to Bob's
This adventure took place on 'Saturday November 18th, 2017'
Need gloves. Duncan needs electrics
Saturday Day Ride
This adventure is underway.
This is an open adventure.
Another day, another ride around the outskirts of the DC area
North of I66 East of Front Royal
This adventure took place on 'Saturday September 30th, 2017'
To our surprise there are quite a few very nice twisty hilly roads in the area East of Front Royal and North of I66. The weather was gorgeous with dramatic skies. It was cool and windy but very pleasant. Our first target was Virginia Route 626 which is a beautiful rolling old rock wall lined road that wends its way through the countryside. From there we intersected 50 and turned left on SR 713 which was another simply beautiful road. We encountered a number of beautiful very old homes along the way. We made our way to Route 17 which we had ridden last weekend and stopped at Sky Meadows State Park where some civil war event was taking place. From there we headed North to Route 601 which is this tree lined dramatically hilly and curvy mountain road. We missed our planned turn and found ourselves on 7. We turned left onto Route 606 along the Shenandoah River. At one point as we slowed down to look for a spot to take a photo, a large branch fell in the roadway ahead of us. There were just too many good roads to remember them all. Cold Stream Road towards the end of the day off 29 stands out as does Route 6. The sun started to set as we turned onto Route 522 North which marked the point we started our way home.
Saturday Ride with Duncan
This adventure took place on 'Saturday September 16th, 2017'
We ended up heading down into Southern Maryland for what turned out to be a gorgeous day of riding all the way down to Point Lookout, the Southernmost point in the state of Maryland. As evening approached. we were presented with one of the most dramatic sunsets we've seen in quite a while. The photos we attempted just don't do it justice. 248 miles
