Tabasco Bermuda Adventure
This adventure took place on 'Sunday April 17th, 2022'
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.

This adventure took place on 'Sunday April 10th, 2022'

A Sailing Adventure Aboard Tabasco
This adventure took place on 'Saturday March 26th, 2022'
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".

Frederick Watershed and Michaux 4x4 Excursion
This adventure took place on 'Saturday December 11th, 2021'
Lisa wants to take her jeep off pavement so we're planning a little jaunt up to the better parts of the watershed and Michaux State Forest. Since this is not a motorcycle ride just set yourself to "watching".
Sailing Adventure Aboard AraVilla (No Motorcycles Involved)
This adventure took place on 'Wednesday November 3rd, 2021'
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.
Post "Landlording" Ad Hoc Local Saturday Ride
This adventure took place on 'Saturday October 30th, 2021'
After finishing some work on the cottage, especially since it may be many weeks before we get to ride again, Duncan and I are going to take an easy local ride on the street bikes.
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.
Seeking Backroads - NC to VA and Back
This adventure took place on 'Friday October 22nd, 2021'
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.
Two DRs leading 4x4's through Michaux
This adventure took place on 'Monday September 27th, 2021'
We're going to be guiding a few jeeps through th e gravel roads of Michaux State Forest in PA. We'll be meeting at the social center of Thurmont also known as the Sheetz off of 15 and 550, which is marked on the map. The Sheetz is at 428 North Church Street, Thurmont, Md 21788
Overnight to Tapoco
This adventure took place on 'Sunday September 26th, 2021'
A quick trip. Just testing things out.
NC TN Unpaved Exploration
This adventure took place on 'Tuesday September 14th, 2021'
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 ...
Michaux DR Ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday September 12th, 2021'
We'll be taking all three DR's up to Michaux for the first time tomorrow. My thought is to bypass the watershed because of the dead ends and just head to our traditional entry point at the Southernmost end on Rattlesnake Run Road. The plan is to meet over at 11 and then slab it up to the traditional Sheetz, probably by 12:15 or so and then on to gravel. We'll be retracing the route up we took to the IMS show.
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.
The Pyrenees - Aug 2021
This adventure took place on 'Thursday August 26th, 2021'
