Ad Hoc Saturday Ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday October 23rd, 2021'
It's been quite a while since we've taken the big bikes.
College Park to IMS Show in Carlisle PA
This adventure took place on 'Saturday September 11th, 2021'
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.
July 2021 Mapping Trip
This adventure took place on 'Saturday July 17th, 2021'
More VA / WV / MD mapping.
R1100S Post Brake Line Replacement Shake Down

Duncan and I replaced the front brake lines on the 'S today and despite the late hour we've decided to do a short shake down ride.
Riding "Curvature" roads around Prettyboy
This adventure took place on 'Saturday November 21st, 2020'
Stitching together a few segments found on road Curvature project maps, with a loop around Prettyboy Reservoir.
Cool Monday Ride
This adventure took place on 'Monday September 21st, 2020'
The plan is to head to points North and West to revisit the area we rode in yesterday, temperature permitting.
Adhoc late afternoon short ride.
This adventure took place on 'Monday September 7th, 2020'
We're heading out for a shortish ride before grilling this evening.
Post Injury K1300S Test Ride, Attempt 2
This adventure took place on 'Saturday September 5th, 2020'
So Saturday's ride attempt was a bust because of a nail Duncan found in his tire. We managed to get the tire replaced so the plan is to attempt an initial post injury K1300S ride on Saturday. Hopefully, we can get an earlier start than what we've mustered lately, but sleep has been so elusive for me.
Post Injury K1300S Test Run
This adventure took place on 'Friday September 4th, 2020'
On Friday, we're going to do a test run to see if Duncan can manage the K1300S with his banged up leg. Things went so well when riding the DR650SE that we think there's a decent chance it'll be ok. As such, there's no real plan. We're just going to take it cautiously and see how it goes.
Power of Left Restart
This adventure is underway.
This is an invitation only adventure.
Duncan to my great surprise showed up spontaneously and declared that we needed to go for a ride since it had been too long. Who was I to disagree?
Training Ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday March 8th, 2020'
Riding with Farida today on a moderate initial training ride. We'll focus on mild to moderate back country roads with little traffic possibly interspersed with some parking lot work. There will be frequent stops. Depending on how things are going we might make it as far as Gambrills Park Road which is one of my favorite in the area.
Coaching Farida
This adventure is underway.
This is an invitation only adventure.
I thought I had it out of my system, but I do not, so I've decided to coach a new rider, one of Yun's friends. The weather is nice today and I haven't been on a bike in 3 months so I'll take a few hours out and spend it away from the computer. I've made plenty of progress so I can probably afford a short break.
Random Southern Maryland Chesapeake Coastal Ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday October 5th, 2019'
First properly cool day in ages. We have no particular plan. The thought is to stop by Bob's BMW and buy some parts and then head somewhere. Not sure where. Maybe McGinty's for dinner ... well, probably McGinty's for dinner.
Philadelphia Dinner Ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday September 29th, 2019'
I've been invited to dinner North of Philadelphia. My thought is that we could ride North and East-ish.
Another Attempt at West
This adventure took place on 'Sunday September 22nd, 2019'
Last week we got rained out and opted to ride the Delmarva Peninsula. My thought is to go explore a few roads in a blank spot on the map just North West of Front Royal and just go exploring from there. It's supposed to be warm but the chance of rain is low.
Eastern Loop
This adventure took place on 'Saturday September 14th, 2019'
The weather is turning sour in all points West. If we go that way we'll very likely get wet based on Wunderground forecasts. Looking around there's one area we've never ridden to before. It's just super boring long and flat but we have not done a loop out to Ocean City. My thought, as reflected on the plan, is to head across the bridge to Ocean city and then loop up and over through Chesapeake city. It'd be a right proper 340+ mile ride but consisting mostly of slab.
Ad Hoc Cool Sunday Ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday August 25th, 2019'
Heading out. Don't really know where we'll end up.
A Hot Sunday Ad-Hoc Ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday August 18th, 2019'
It's super hot outside, the car thermometer read 98. We're planning on heading out on another late afternoon/early evening ride to roughly the same area as yesterday to see what other roads we can find. And I'm sure, as is customary, I will find my way to McGinty's afterwards. I've added the tracks from yesterday's ride and the ride we did with Garrett to the plan just for easy reference.
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.
Philadelphia BBQ Solo Ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday August 3rd, 2019'
I'm heading up to Philadelphia for the weekend to attend a BBQ later today and to take a friend on her first motorcycle ride tomorrow. There's no much of a plan. I'll probably just superslab it up.
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.
