After today's motorcycle club meeting seven of us headed off to the Dark Horse Tavern in Flint Hill, VA. The forecast was for rain, but it wasn't suppose to start till late afternoon. By the time I got everything collected from the morning meeting everyone was on their bikes waiting for me. Alan ha...

At 5:00 am on Sunday June 25, 2023 John L. and I undertook the challenge of riding 1000 miles in 24 hours. We started in Front Royal, VA and took a route that was 500 miles long to Winchester, KY, where we took a break to eat our "Subway" sandwiches before beginning the return trip to Fro...

Jim called a ride to the CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE SHOW, in Mt. Airy. https://classicmotorcycleday.org/ Charlie, Albert and I joined him on the adventure. Jim's only mistake was asking me if I would plan a route. The group aptly called the route the "Dave W. GS ride" because Dave ride most of th...

It was a beautiful day and we had a "spirited" ride. Ralph said this was Alan F. initiation ride. We don't have initiation rides but if we did Alan passed with "flying colors". I had missed riding with Jeff. I guess he's had other things to do. :lol: Anyway, Ralph, Jeff, Alan an...

image010.jpg What a wonderful day for a ride, seventy degrees and sunny. It has been a long time since I have seen so many bikes at Bikes and Breakfast. Generally, by the time we get there most are gone, NOT TODAY. John L. and I were the only two that rode, short notice and Mother's Day, I guess. W...

Today we had one of the most beautiful rides you could have. Spring is a beautiful time of the year and the estates are gorgeous. I have attached a track of our route and it is truly a "keeper". We call it our "smell the roses" ride, 127 miles with an average speed of 32 mph!! W...

It was a good day for a ride and we made the most of it. Leeds Manor road is always a nice ride. Six Bears and a Goat Brewery was packed because of 30 young Marines from Quantico. So young and so much ahead of them. The energy and excitement was fantastic. After lunch we went to stop 12 on the Gran...

Today was my 6th Annual visit to see the Cherry Blossoms in DC. It is a whole lot easier from Lake Frederick than it was from Kansas City. I hit it at the peak on a beautiful 66 degree day. I was pleasantly surprised by it being Kite Day in DC. Families brought their kids and their kites and let th...

What a beautiful day for a ride. We broke 80 degrees before we got home today. The warmest day of the year.

We had a very productive St. Patrick's Day ride. The countryside if full of baby calves and baby lambs. The ride along the Cacapon River was very scenic. Lots of summer cabins along a very nice river. After a good ride along the river we set out to find the answer to question number 10 on the Grand...

This was my first trip to Bike Week and I learned a lot. It was not at all what I expected. The featured event is motorcycle racing and I didn't know that, and I never saw a race!! The main races were on the last weekend of Bike Week, March 9-11, and I left on March 8th. Poor recon on my part. They...
