Motorcycle Adventure
Record Temps predicted for Idaho this weekend…and we’re headed to the mountains on the motorbikes looking for hot springs! There are several commercial hot springs in our area (Heise Hot Springs, Lava Hot Springs), but Edward and I are going to head out on the KTM 950′s, ride the road less traveled, and find some [...]
Well, I’m finally embracing Facebook (a little bit)…and one of the cool things about it is that I keep bumping into voices from the past… This week I saw Michael Murray on there. In 2008 Edward and I went to see his presentation on the Trans-America Trail (crossing America on all dirt roads and tracks) [...]

After my Women’s Tour, Edward met me in Sandpoint, ID, where we spent the holiday weekend with Martha and Kurt of Black Dog Cycle Works. It was really fun for us to ride the 500 miles home together–it’s been a coupe of months since we’d been able to ride together, and it brought up all [...]
So. I leave the hotel very early the next morning–Edward has decided to meet me halfway between Seattle and Idaho Falls, and since Kurt and Martha of Black Dog Cycle Works have invited us to spend the holiday weekend with them. that’s our meeting point.

Womens Empowerment Motorcycle Tour 2011: Day Nine (Last Day) I wake up before the alarm goes off, and look out the window. It’s a sad day–last day of the tour. But we have a lot of miles to cover, and a volcano to see, so let’s get started. We leave Cascade Locks in a group, [...]
Womens Empowerment Motorcycle Tour 2011: Day Eight Bend to Cascade Locks Today was my day to play. Charlene and I took off to ride, and we caught glimpses of Mt. Hood along our path. There was construction on the road, so we took a detour up to the ski area to get some decent pics [...]
Women’s Empowerment Motorcycle Tour Day Seven – Rest Day Ahhhh…a rest day. Nice. It’s been a little hard for the ladies to ride so much for so many days in a row…most of them are new to touring on a motorcycle. Two tour members got new tires and two others went off to ride one of the [...]

Day Five on the Women’s Empowerment Motorcycle Tour: We had a very cool (40 degree!) ride out of Stanley. Yet it was a spectacular ride, and a slight navigational error (was it truly?) on my part brought my small group through some of the twistiest, funnest roads over the Mores Summit in the Boise National [...]
Third day on the Women’s Empowerment Motorcycle Tour. Karen Spotted a neat road on our way over to Montana, so we took a little detour and rode up the Spiral Highway. Then we rode one of my favorite roads, Route 12, Lolo Pass. It was a long LONG day, but [...]
