New Mexico, Utah, Colorado: Part II

Moab, Utah was a great experience on this trip.There are many roads around the area that make for a great ride and the scenery is phenomenal.

New Mexico, Utah, & Colorado: Part I

For the past 8 months we prepared for a 2 week ride to New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. We booked and paid for rooms in advance as we prepared our route. Any extra income was saved and taken in cash that we used for meals. By the time we left the entire trip was paid for with the exception of fuel. That makes for a worry free get a way to not have to worry about paying off credit cards…

A couple weeks ago the weather became favorable for a decent afternoon ride. We decided to take advantage of that bit of warmth and make it count in two ways. Riding and seeds! Seeds? Exactly that! This content has been moved to Ride it Wrench it.

Texas Christkindl Market

A couple weeks ago on a Saturday night the weather was cool and clear so we took a short ride to Arlington, TX to visit the Texas Christkindl Market. This was the fourth year the market has been set up and we went with high expectations from the write-ups we found online about it.

Waxahachie TX- Texas Hill Country Reporter Festival 2014

The weekend looked good for riding all week. I kept a close eye on the weather hoping it wouldn’t change so we could take a trip somewhere. At first the plans were to go with a group to Cranfills Gap, TX. It just didn’t play out though. It was short notice and most of the group couldn’t make it. I had a backup plan though! And for Margaret, it was one of those secret destinations that I keep her in…
