Skyline Drive- July 2, 2011

Okay, so I created this blog to document our travels...and it's been a year since I created it...and this is only my 3rd post. We really DID ride last year, however, it's hard to get Wayne to stop long enough to take pictures!!

Today we spent our 34th wedding anniversary riding down to Skyline Drive in Shenandoah, VA. It was a beautiful day! We left about 7am and turned into the park at 10:30am. That was after a quick breakfast stop at McDonald's! It took us about 3 hours to ride through the park. I was able to get Wayne to stop at a couple overlooks to take some pictures of the bikes and the scenery.

Check out the map of Skyline Drive:

102 miles of elevation changes, twisties, sweeping turns and the most beautiful views you could ask for. Here are a couple pictures we took on our ride:

Wayne's Vision:

We're planning on heading out to Sturgis in late July! We should get some great pictures while out there!! I'm really looking forward to my first trip out that way! Stay tuned!

Multi-County Ride

Sunday was a beautiful day in Maryland. We decided that we'd take a ride to find the sunflower fields in White Hall, MD. We rode through Anne Arundel, Howard, Carroll, and Baltimore counties to White Hall...rode some great backroads- lots of rolling hills and twisties...never did find the sunflower fields, but along the way we stopped at the Prettyboy Dam. Prettyboy Dam Road is NOT a well-kept road but the scenery is well worth the side trip. Here are some pictures of the dam.

That's alot of steps down to the water level!

Welcome!!

Well, I decided I would start a blog for the travels that my husband, Wayne, and I take on our motorcycles. Now that warmer (okay, hot!) weather is here, we have plans for many outings.

First of all, here is a picture of my bike...a 2008 Victory Vegas Low in Boardwalk Blue. I just LOVE the color with all the "sparklies" in the paint...well, I guess that just proves I'm a girl! :) I love anything shiny! Isn't it pretty?

I became a "Vic Chick" in December 2009 when I traded my 2007 Suzuki Boulevard S50 in on this beauty. Well, Chesapeake Cycles in Annapolis offered me a deal that I just couldn't pass up!!

Wayne bought his second bike- an out-of-this-world looking Victory Vision in February 2009. Here's his "baby":

This picture was taken in August 2009 in the Badlands National Park. He and some friends rode up to Sturgis- LOTS of great riding up there!! Hopefully I'll get to go someday!

Well, I hope you check back periodically to see where we've been and what we've been up to. Until then...ride safe!
