Adventures Myrtle Beach Bike Week 2026 Another year, another spring Myrtle Beach Bike Week! Unlike last year, the weather was absolutely perfect (MBBW 2025 was HOT!). There was no rain and the temperatures were VERY pleasant. Like last year, a group of us rented a house in Murrells Inlet. Actually, it is the exact same house
Adventures GLMC - Trip 3 💡Refer to the GLMC - Trip 1 story for an explanation to what GLMC is. Was out riding with a friend and decided to catch another couple of oddities for GLMC. In Linwood, there is a old truck stop called Bills Truck Stop. Been around since the 60's. I
Adventures GLMC - Trip 2 💡Refer to the GLMC - Trip 1 story for an explanation to what GLMC is. It was going to be a much warmer day today and very sunny. I decided to head out early to hit up a few more items to add to my list. All the items are in
Adventures GLMC - Trip 1 Each year, I sign up for the GLMC Grand Tour. It is kind of like a rally / scavenger hunt where you ride around and collect photos from the theme for the year. This year the theme is Obscure Oddities and Attractions. The purpose is to go out and find the
Adventures Myrtle Beach Spring Rally 2025 I had not planned on attending this years spring rally. Not that I did not want to go, I just had not made any plans in time. Well things changed about 4 weeks before the rally. I was out with some friends and one asked if I was going. I
Adventures First Spring Ride of 2025 Saturday was my official first spring ride of 2025. I wanted to get out and enjoy the weather with a longer ride. I rode for about 3-4 hours total (approx. 170 miles) and I loved every minute of it. I also had another reason to get out there. I
Adventures Fancy Gap - Day 5 Woke up this morning and realized it was a sad day...I had to go home! I got up early and noticed some noise on the roof. No, it could not be rain. The forecast said it was to be clear through the weekend...so much for weather forecasting. Yes,
Adventures Fancy Gap - Day 4 My final full day here at Fancy Gap and I want to get in a lot of riding. The past two days have been great. Totally different areas, roads, and scenery. Today I have no official map/plan but I will be heading north and towards Roanoke. My plan is
Adventures Fancy Gap - Day 3 It is going to be hard to beat the ride I had on Day 2 heading up to Tazewell. Yes, the Back of the Dragon was good but actually all the supporting roads I travelled were phenomenal. It is amazing what you can find if you look hard enough. Today&
Adventures Fancy Gap - Day 2 It was a bit cool last night. I am not sure but it got really close to the 30s. The sun does not rise until about 7:45 so it stays cold for a long time in the morning. I planned on heading out about 9 but changed my plans
Adventures Fancy Gap - Day 1 Decided to take a quick small trip this fall since I had not really gone anywhere this year. Been taking a lot of local day trips but nothing where I was spending days on the bike (which I love). I knew I did not have a lot of time so
Adventures Let Fall Begin - First Ride 2024 After yesterdays epic ride for the last ride of summer, today is another beautiful day so back on the bike once again. This time it will be a group ride lead by someone else. There were 8 bikes/riders in total and we were going to ride all the back
Adventures End of Summer Ride With another nice Saturday upon us, two us decided to have another all day ride session. This time, we covered over 360 miles with riding saddle time of over 8 hours and 45 minutes. And what a day it was. The weather was perfect with temperatures around 85 and a
Adventures Riding to Nebo The cooler weather will be upon us soon so taking advantage of the nice temperatures is a must. The big issue, for me, is that in the Fall, it is also college football season (I have season tickets). This knocks out quite a few Saturdays for myself but it does
Adventures NC Hills and Twisties A friend of mine and I decided to take a good long ride this past Saturday and we wanted to ride up in the hills. Lucky for us, there are some really nice roads that lead up to the mountains. These roads are full of beautiful view and LOTS of
Adventures Quiet Ride in the Country It was the last Saturday in July and I could not believe my luck. The high was going to be around 85 with nothing but sunshine (a rarity as of late - we got over 10" of rain in July). I had not been out for a good long on/
Adventures Linville Falls With another beautiful Saturday happening, I wanted to get out and enjoy a nice ride before the weather starts to get too hot (not that the heat would stop me anyway). The high was supposed to be 86 but also there is lower humidity so it makes for a perfect
Adventures Route 16 to Wilkesboro I had read a lot about Route 16 from Charlotte to Wilkesboro and figured on giving it a try. I hopped on my Triumph Tiger 1200 and headed out to pick up the route just north west of Charlotte from the outer loop (Exit 16). In the beginning, it is
Adventures Underwater Bridge Taking advantage of the nice day, we headed out about 11am to do some of the gravel roads in the Uwharrie area. We have written many stories about this area but have not visited since last fall, we decided to give it a go. There was also an nice two
Adventures Adios PCB - Hello NC After being in Panama City Beach for over 5 weeks, it is time for me to head back home. It was great that my brother and his wife allowed me to live at their beach house and work for that long. I was able to make many excursions, drink and
Adventures Ponce de Leon Springs State Park Since I had the day off (Friday), I decided to do a big loop that included a stop at Ponce de Leon Spring State Park. This spring is actually the result of two underground water flows that churns through 14 million gallons of water per day with a constant temperature
Adventures Cape San Blas The wind died down today so I decided to head out the Cape San Blas. This is a peninsula close to Panama City Beach that has incredible view and beaches. Also, it is one of the few places where you can see the sun rise out and set back into
Adventures Defuniak Springs Another great day and time to explore. This time I am heading north to Defuniak Springs, FL. This is an interesting town since there is a perfect circle of a lake right in the middle of the city. Great walking path around the lake. The road that circles the lake
Adventures PCB - Heading East My first day off in Panama City Beach, FL and I wanted to head east. This is towards the Apalachicola National Forest. I got on the bike and headed East on Hwy 98. One area I drove through was called Beach Road. One one side are palm trees and the
Adventures Ride to Florida The weather is finally getting nice and its time to start doing some traveling. To start off this season, I am making a trek down to Panama City Beach, FL. Why PCB? Well my brother live there and need me to house site and take care of his dog. Another
