This week I received my rally flag for the 9th VOID Rally. Say hello to Rider 52. New for this year is a Yahtzee game component to the rally. As if I didn’t have...
Oh, hey. Yeah, that’s me and my dude Chomsky. He’s like… the 3rd largest garden gnome. IN THE WORLD. No big whoop. Gnome on the Grange Gnome Chomsky at Kelder’s Farm 5755 Route 209...

On Sunday Kenny and I packed our little dirty bikes into the truck and set of for the pine barrens in New Jersey. Our destination was Wharton State Forest. But not before stopping by...
It’s my Dutch brother from another mother, Pimmie! The internet is really amazing. But it seems that not a week goes by when I don’t read about someone lamenting what childhood was like when...

While I struggle to find the thread that will weave my trip posts together, I go back and look through photos, fondle stickers, shuffle postcards from the places we’d been. This morning I picked...
It has been 2 going on 3 weeks since we’ve returned from the Alps. Just this past weekend we were away riding as well. As a result, all week long I have been in...
Following our last trip through the Alps, there were several mountain passes that we hadn’t ridden that found their way on to my riding bucket list. You know, for “next time.” In hindsight, it’s...
