Wednesday, June 19th Breakfast the next morning, I had cute little waffles!! And then ventured off the highway… Found an old crashed plane. And somehow I rode to Norway!!!! Fancy limo… And TYLER!!!! She was in the area, and we had been communicating about where to meet up. She told me...

Tuesday, June 18th Left the hotel in the morning in the rain. Ugh. Keeping an eye on the radar…. Looks like I might be able to outrun it in about 100 miles… Something was burning big. Passed 2 Toby Keith tour concert trucks… Coming into Iowa. The sky was clearing up. At least not...

Monday, June 17th In the morning, we got up a little earlier than I had been the past couple days. I knew I needed to make time heading east. But first, breakfast! We walked back down to the Cuban restaurant. I’m tempted to make this an RTE destination/group gathering next summer…. Dang good...

Through the areas with the road sharing, and we were on the outside lane! Awesome! And what a view to have! Made it to the top, and stopped for pictures. Could barely get my bike next to the sign with all the snow still there!! Can’t wipe that smile from my face!!! Walked to the...

Sunday, June 16th Get up, and ride down the main street to eat brunch at a new Cuban restaurant that opened recently. Ate an amazingly delicious lunch sandwich! Told Tim we’re coming here tomorrow morning, I’m going to eat this again, and I’m gonna order 1 to take with me on the bike. Wow. My...

Saturday, June 15th This is a special day…. Getting the bikes uncovered and ready to leave the house… and the dogs are chilling on the porch. And the gas station has such a beautiful view! Tim says that their dump is the prettiest dump around. Lol We headed south, and then made our way to...

Friday, June 14th We uncovered the bikes, and prepared for our day’s ride! Ride around town a bit, as we headed to breakfast, and there is never a bad view in this area. Breakfast was yummy! Biscuits and gravy and Cajun potatoes. Headed out route 91 back to the north. Stopped at a...

Thursday, June 13th Leave the hotel about 9am. Head west. About 2 hours later, see something cool up ahead. Pull over for a break. Kearney Archway Go inside and see what it’s all about. And decided to pay the $12 to go up inside the arch and explore. And wow! So impressed!!!! First it...

Dreaming with my eyes wide open I heard this song while I was cruising along the highway and found it fitting for my current feelings. Due to making some changes last summer, I was actually able to take days off in mid-June. (farm wouldn’t allow taking days off during breeding season) And...

OCTOBER!!!!

And with that… 2018 is a wrap! Now, I know I didn’t get out much this year- on the bike. My yearly mileage is the lowest it has been since I got the bike. But I still had a fabulous year. Both on and off the bike. My parents and I are not getting park passes next year. It’s not something we can...

Since the day I got the truck, I have been making progress towards moving into it and setting it up how I would like. My dad and I installed a bed slide, and I wanted a larger shoe rack. And my dad finds immense joy in creating things that I think of. Lol. So dad then takes wood that he had...

Bike hasn’t been out for a couple weeks, so I took it down to my dad’s garage for a check-up before I head to EOM and SFO. I picked up my littlest nephew to watch for a couple hours while my sister did yard work. He had a fun time on “Juey’s vroom vroom!” (My parents, my sister, and I all live...

May is a busy time with work- not much time to ride. But I was able to find some time to hang my hammock and stare at my bike and just relax. End of May was a tech day in New York. I didn’t attend the tech day in Michigan, and the bike really needs a valve check done… considering I recently...
