Weekend Ride Exploring Victoria
When Deb initially mentioned the weekend to me she suggested we take the bike. Okay, she had me at bike…. so we decided to make it into a long long weekend by taking Friday and Monday off and do a bit of exploring.
When you just need more miles – Pikes Peak
When we started planning this trip I had originally intended on hanging onto the bike for an additional day so that I could do an Iron Butt 1,000 mile in 24 hours ride – that way I’d have a certified ride in the US as well as Australia. However in my route planning for the…
