My Trips

Taking Ruby for a spin in South Dakota’s Spearfish Canyon. I get to go on trips like this every summer.

***

Every year, I go on at least one major ride.

“Major” is something more than saddling up to get my hair cut in downtown Carbondale, and something less than taking a year to ride to Tierra del Fuego.

Major means a week, or two, or three on the road. Great destinations. Fabulous routes. Unhealthy food. Cheap motels.

Here is a compilation of two-wheel travel I’ve been on since 2009 – in reverse chronological order: most recent first, oldest last. Click on the image to see the details of where I went that year.
