I'm not going to lie-- when I first heard about Babes Ride Out, the thought of camping with 1500 women sounded... overwhelming, to say...

As we stood around in the drizzling rain waiting for the front end loader to attempt to grade the riverbed for our crossing, nothing was said, but I believe we all were thinking maybe this wasn’t the best idea. That may have been the first time we all were thinking that, but I’m sure it wasn’t the last.

When it rained I would pull over and put on some rain gear. When it stopped raining I would pull over and take it off…then, inevitably, it

Challenges, for some people, are the breath of life. Always pushing to do something beyond themselves. Sometimes to see if your capable, sometimes to expand that notion of what you are able to do, and sometimes just plainly because it sounds fun. Throughout my life I have gravitated toward pushing my abilities as a human, and as a result I find myself seeking out others on the same path. As I was trolling my social media last week-ish when I came across a woman I follow and l

Sometimes adventures build themselves. With only a few months till I deploy with army for an extended period of time, this summer has quickly become a “Choose your own Adventure” as the days unfold. We left on our choppers for a weekend, and about half way through the weekend I was like fork it... lets make a loop and head east toward Wisconsin. Although not as prepared as I am accustomed to be when leaving home for a long trip I decided I had enough to not return home.

I truly understand that taking your first trip is not often as easy as it sounds. What do I need? Where should I go? Will I find gas, food,

​If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a million times, not all journeys and adventures have to be of massive and epic proportions. Not all adventures have to involve traveling great distances to remote and foreign places and not all adventures will leave you with the worlds best story, sometimes they just are what they are. However, sometimes they are just what the soul was looking for weather you knew you needed it or not. Rarely do I find even the smallest of excursions to

Some people say that deserts are boring and drab, but I found the landscape incredibly varied and beautiful and was in awe ...

What kind of trip-taker are you?

Part Two – Flow.... This is where it gets Interesting Yesterday I stuck to the road I was familiar with on the south side of the Spiti...

From day one in Peru, Guy and I had decided to ride through the Andean Mountains rather than along the coastline. We had crossed into the country from Ecuador at a low altitude where it was unbearably hot and dusty, so despite being rainy season in the Peruvian Andes, the mountains were more appealing. After consulting the map, it looked like Route 3N would be the way to go.

Rain. Wind. Heat. Cold. A real adventure has them all (and oftentimes more) and that’s exactly what I was hoping for on a trek from Denver through Utah last Summer.

Part One – Lets Do It The next riders arrived in five days, so I had to decide to either stick around in Delhi’s energy-sapping humidity...

I appreciated my good fortune, the twists and turns of the open road, the laughs and smiles, tears and heartfelt conversations

We pointed our GPS’s north and with little plan or even an idea of mileage we set off.

“If you had to lose one of your five senses, which would you choose?” In the moment, without thought, I responded with “smell” However...

This pandemic has been interesting for everyone.... We’d both gotten out on some day rides but we both were itching for a bit of adventure

The air was thick with anticipation as the group gathered, 4 of us in total, and finished topping off our tanks.

The nonsensical pursuit of childish joy is essential in rounding out serious travel into pure enjoyment.

Packing for a motorcycle trip can be a very bewildering task. What bag do I get? Is there such a thing as too many pairs of underwear?
