Time Well Spent




Hey there! This summer, I embarked on quite the adventure, covering over 8,000 miles of road and fun. First up, I headed to Sturgis, South Dakota, for the RevZilla Get-on Fest, where bikes and good times were in abundance.

From there, I pointed my wheels toward the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and let me tell you, the scenery was absolutely epic. If you've not ridden over the Mackinac Bridge you're in for a treat... especially if you take the metal grid lane!

Forty Mile Point Lighthouse



Fayette Historic State Park





I couldn't resist the allure of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, where I joined in on the Touratech's Dirt Daze Rally for some off-road excitement.





Battle of Bennington





But that's not all! I made a pitstop in South Dakota to revisit Teddy Roosevelt National Park, which had been too long overdue—eight years to be exact. Then it was time to head west to Utah, where I lent a helping hand in restoring a historic log cabin. It's amazing how you can be a part of preserving history while on the road.

Historic Cedar Breaks Monument Visitors Center (circa 1933)




My journey took me south next, where I explored the beauty of the Grand Staircase of Escalante, which is truly a hidden gem. 



Dance Hall Rock (on the Hole in the Rock Trail)



And to top it all off, I wrapped things up with the Austin Moto Adventures' Ouray Colorado Tour, which was the perfect grand finale for my summer travels.




It's safe to say I had the time of my life this summer, making memories and discovering new places on two and four wheels.


If you'd like to know how to ride safely, plan your routes, and prepare for the unexpected while traveling (mostly) off-road... call me or post a comment. I'd like to share the details!
