NOTE: This site's focus has shifted to Dungeons & Dragons, fantasy role-playing games, and fantasy fiction. If that sounds like your kind of thing, check out my D&D and gaming content or sign up for my free monthly newsletter for dungeon masters. The rest of this old content, motorcycling, aviation, and the like, is still here, just not browsable from the main navigation anymore.

It’s late March and we have a forecast of snow tonight and tomorrow night. It rains six days out of seven and the one day a week it’s sunny, or at least dry, I’m mowing the lawn or tackling other chores. Getting out on two wheels is difficult.

I feel like those two kids in Cat In The Hat.

The urge to get out on a multi-day trip is driving me crazy. I spend more time than I should in Google Maps planning out possible routes, paying special attention to trips that don’t require riding over mountain — snow-covered — passes. The idea of taking the same trips as last year occurred to me, but with the twist of riding them in reverse order.

I’m really itching to ride.
