Metro DC BMW Group Ride – Apple House & Morgans Ford Well, we’ve been wanting to meet some folks and ride with a larger group so… today’s the day! Weather wasn’t really cooperating; one trip we signed up for canceled but these folks were hardy and pressed on. A little farther away from us,...
What a pleasant stop for the night. Kathy was such a wonderful host, we sat and talked over coffee for a good part of the morning. Eventually it was time to go though, packed and ready, then scoot down the driveway and point north. Just down the road we saw the sign for ‘Natural...
Daylight sure came early today :-). Quick bite to eat and we’re off… The morning is bright, the air is cool, the road is full of twists and turns. So perfect. I wonder what we will find today??? Ah we found this, the Fairfax Stone. Headwaters of the Potomac and the extent of Lord...
Well, the day we have been waiting for has finally arrived. A quick, but good nights sleep and its time to get moving. Up at a reasonable time, breakfast done, time to get the bike packed and us ready. After the obligatory selfie to mark the start of our journey we are off… It...
Prelude Well, getting a little bit restless for a longer trip. We have been out and about for some local and extended local rides, but have not had a chance to go long yet this summer – this weekend we’ll break free! Where? Thinking, thinking…. Well, we do have obligations at the land and...

Well, session three of flight training went pretty well. I had a couple of ideas that I wanted to try so got the bike out and headed off to take a a few shots…. The first shot is from St Annes. Such a beautiful place, facing the sun, and absolutely charming. I was so...
Ride ‘all’ the roads near home… As it turns out Southern Maryland is a wonderful place to ride… Before getting the bike I suspected it was true, having been down a number of little two-lane county roads in the car. That notion was confirmed in spades as I began looking for new and different...
Good Morning! Well, first order of business is a cup of coffee, sit with me? :-). Then, as our brains awake the second thing is to start figuring out where to go today… so many choices! Ok, here is a logistics problem with the route planning… The PC/web browser version of Google maps allows...
Prelude Well, here we go… However, before you can go anywhere you have to have some kind of a plan, right? The outline of this ride coalesced around two ideas: last years Michigan trip and AIT graduation. We had such a fabulous ride last year we imagined something very similar for this year. Settled,...
