- May 30, 2015, 15:37:43 PMI left this morning on what was supposed to be a little 320 mile jaunt to Minneapolis MN, and back. Starting on Wed. the temps have been in the 80s, but now, of course, it's the weekend. 20 mph wind from the N.E. (pretty rare around here), 50 deg, and rain....I got about 50 miles or so into the trip and reconsidered. I did make a mileage milestone, however...

- May 11, 2015, 10:40:36 AMEverybody has a different idea, and that's what it's all about. I love to ride. If it weren't for winter, I wouldn't own a car, at all. Certainly, if I lived on Hawaii, my goal would be quite a bit different. Living out here, on the edge of the great plains, I look at the miles not so much as barriers, as new places I haven't been, yet. I haven't ridden in 3 states, Hawaii, Alaska, and colliefornia....Two of them I want to see, one I don't...so I won't.

- May 11, 2015, 10:17:43 AMWell I am not trying for mileage, but more to have a fun and really memorable summer. I plan on attending The Ride For Dad in Kingston, and here in North Bay, both events for prostate cancer, then the Biker Reunion in New Liskeard for cancer research, then the Ride for a Cure, here in North Bay again for cancer. Then to attend Drift In and met some of the people who I have been dealing with here. Then leave Drift In and ride up the east part of the US and cross over to visit my sister in Kingston before coming home. Then depending on funds and time, I might take a ride to PEI and to go see my buddy FredakaMike, in NS. If not then perhaps the Lake Superior tour might be in the offing.

- May 11, 2015, 08:24:13 AMNice! Seems your goal is going much better than mine. It started out well and hasn't gone anywhere since. I've been like 750 miles this year so far, of my 10k mile goal... In a month I'm going on a 3500 mile-ish motorcycle trip too. That's going to be brutal with how little I've ridden.

- May 09, 2015, 16:02:46 PMI don't know how it started, but I have developed a set of riding goals for myself that I have managed to stick to every year for the last 52, except for 1998, when I had a heart attack in early October, and had to stop riding for the year. A minimum of 10,000 miles every year. To that end, I try to get a rough calculation for day/week/month so I can achieve the goal without having to scramble at the end of the year....Today, I did a little 180 mile ride (one tank of gas, not empty yet) which ended at my garage with this picture. I'm hoping that I can get to 102,500 on the Drifter by the time I have to stop for Winter.....
