Westward, Ho…but first…
Read more: Westward, Ho…but first…Leaving the Airport Cafe in Hampton, NH left me few good options when it comes to combining scenic roads with making decent time. This was yet another major difference in the two sides of the United States. With so much open space in the Western US (especially in the desert) you can normally combine the two, making good time on…

Of Lobster Rolls And Bridge Trolls
Read more: Of Lobster Rolls And Bridge TrollsI had finally made it. Honestly though, it didn’t feel like a climax. I decided to ride to Maine to get a lobster roll on a lark. I mean, what else was I going to do? And so here I was, in Hampton, New Hampshire, ready to cross over into Maine and accomplish my goal, but I don’t even like…

The closer I got to the Ozarks the better the roads and the views. Much of it is surrounded by trees and you can literally stop noticing the forest for the trees. Eventually though I fell in love with…

Fly-over States: moving through America’s Midwest
Read more: Fly-over States: moving through America’s MidwestLeaving Denver and heading east is saying goodbye to the Rockies. While most people just assume all of Colorado is 18,000ft peaks covered in snow, the eastern part is very similar to parts of Wyoming and Nebraska. That’s to say there are rolling plains and a few hills big enough to be called a mountain, but the roads become straighter…

Rocky Mountain Retrograde: Wandering Colorado
Read more: Rocky Mountain Retrograde: Wandering ColoradoWell, my trip into Colorado was totally unplanned, so I had the advantage of no expectations (except for cooler weather) and the disadvantage of not knowing where to go, where to stay, or what to expect. My previous excursions into the Rocky Mountain State were to race the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb or as a camera-bike pilot for the…
