Its been awhile

Yes...I have been riding. Long distance? Not really! But that is about to change again.

Final plans are in the works before heading to Stecoah, NC and a weekend of Flower Sniffin' rides through the mountains of Tennesee and North Carolina. The Cherohala Skyway is a very scenic ride. One can't visit the area without the required trip to the "Tail of the Dragon", the road with 318 curves in 11 miles! Fontana Dam, made famous in the movie "The Fugitive" will be a stop during the visit.

A month later, it's off to Motorcycle Tourers Forum Founder's Feast. This annual event moves throughout the country and 2010 finds the festivities in Paris, TX. I can't pass up the chance to do another SS1000 on the way!

Following the "feast" I'll be heading for San Diego, CA for a brief stop...very brief. The next day, I'll begin the IBA 50CC ride from San Diego to Jacksonville, FL. This is a timed ride and 50 hours is the limit.

After a day at home, it's off to the Florida Coast2Coast ride!

Now that's how to get back into the swing of things. More to come.....
