Today I was at a loss as to what to write about for my weekly blog post. So instead of doing my daily exercise to get in shape for my year-long trip (oh how I wish that I had the same perseverance to do my exercise as I do riding my motorcycle, sigh), I decided … More Trails, Tracks, and a Sunset, Oh My!
The other day while at a workshop, someone asked me what was the most outrageous adventures that I ever had on a motorcycle. Two popped into my head very quickly, the Willie Boy adventure and the trail where I earned the nickname “The Flying Nun”. So in the spirit of “Throwback Thursday” that seems to … More WILLIE BOY, 2 TW’S, A GOOD SAMARITAN, AND A HELICOPTER.
On Sunday, when most of the country is suffering from the deep freeze, we here in Southern California have had the luxury of enjoying the high 70’s all week which mean it’s the perfect day for a ride! Sorry, I just had to rub it in. So the Ranch Rider decided to head out to … More Pioneertown
Last weekend, I went on another group ride that was hosted by the Know Where Riders based out of Rancho Cucamonga, CA. A friend introduced me to this group and they post all of their ride on a website called http://www.meetup.com. Meetup is an online social networking portal that facilitates offline group meetings in various … More The Meetup Group

In my previous post, I mentioned that I was getting ready for a trip to Baja. Well, I got to ride down to Valle de Guadalupe to visit Rancho Sordo Mudo. This trip came about after chatting with a fellow TW rider, Jeff, about my trip in May and mentioned that I might go to … More Rancho Sordo Mudo
Last weekend, I finally was able to get away and get recharged thanks to a dear friend. When I first started learning how to ride a motorcycle again, my late husband joined the TW200 community forum to learn more about these bikes. It was on this forum that we learned about a meet up and … More Rejuvenated
After spending 3 days of attending sessions and hanging out with fellow motorcycle travelers, it was time to hit the road to head home. This time I wanted to take a different route and go through Yosemite Valley. Believe it or not; I have lived in California for more than thirty years and I have … More The break down…
Now that I got all of my gears into my new luggage system by Nelson-Rigg, it’s time to hit the road up to Mariposa. Now, remember the little “t-dub” can only go on average 60 mph well if I’m lucky and going downhill, I can get it up to 65 mph. So my route will … More Hitting the road to Horizon Unlimited California
