Fort Lewis Out - Day 2
This adventure took place on 'Friday August 9th, 2024'
Due to a bug having to do with adding routes to a plan after the fact I'm adding a new trip to cover the second day.
Fort Lewis 2024 Out Day 1
This adventure took place on 'Thursday August 8th, 2024'
This is my solo ride to join up with Wayne and Jackie at Fort Lewis Lodge, which has become a tradition for Jackie's birthday. Once out there, I'll switch over to the group adventure Fort Lewis 2024. This will be the first longish trip on the Blue Oil Burner since putting it back together. I've put it through its paces and all seems well, but I am still a bit apprehensive about potential mechanical failures. The plan is to divide what would normally be an easy day ride into two days in large part because those muscles around my shoulderblades continue to plague me by locking up. When this happens it's beyond painful. There is also a major rain system moving in, so this will be a very wet ride.
Fort Lewis 2024 Birthday Ride
Scheduled to Start on: 'Thursday August 8th, 2024 7:00'
This is an invitation only adventure.

George Washington National Forest ADV Ride with Ryan
This adventure took place on 'Friday June 28th, 2024'
I really liked some of the forest roads on the last ride and thought to myself, "Ryan needs to see these." So we're heading out on a two and a half day ride along forest service roads. The plan is to leave Friday before close of business to get close to our target area and have all day Saturday and most of Sunday to go exploring.

A Few Day ADV Ride
This adventure took place on 'Sunday June 9th, 2024'
Aaron is doing is Shenandoah Bicycle Ride and has invited me to join him when he stays in a cabin near Skyline Drive. I intend to take the DR and depending on how my shoulder is doing I may extend the trip by a few days and explore new-to-me gravel roads in Virginia and West Virginia. It'll all depend on well I'm doing. That first 89 miles on slab on my DR650 is not something I'm looking forward to.
