Enchanted Circle Ashley & I did a two day adventure ride up into Northern New Mexico. We left Albuquerque saturday morning and road North up through Madrid and into Sante Fe. Madrid is a cool tiny town and was in that movie 'wild hogs'if any of you saw that one. At any rate, We continued North into Santa Fe and beyond taking what is called the high road into Taos. We passed through amazing landscapes as snowcapped huge mtns came into view. We even drove t...

BREAK! (day 35-day 50) 1 week into my break. It's nice to be home & relax. My fingers are so tight, the muscles really from holding the throttle of the bike for the past 34 days. I have to spend every day stretching them so I can bend my fingers again. Lots of pain. I even got a therapy ball to help get those muscles moving.

Day 32 Conquering Sunny skies! Not one cloud! Amazing! I woke up and packed the bike to a very brisk morning in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. 39 degrees to be exact but supposed to warm up to the mid 70's. I rode up to the motorbike repair shop and found that my bike parts were overnighted from Texas and were at the shop and waiting for me at 10:15AM. So I had about 2 hours, maybe a little less to wait outside in the nice sun (it was warming up nicely today) whil...
