Full tank. Wandering heart.
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...
Can you tell from my super-toothy grin that I was pretty excited to be at the top of the Col de L’Iseran? After seeing pictures of that dang sign on the web for years, it...
When Kenny and I decided to call it a night on Friday, we were still on the Little St. Bernard pass. As we started our descent from the top of the pass we pulled...
And so we’re back from our trip to the Alps. The trip that was once a wish, seemingly a million miles away on the horizon is now a collection of gorgeous memories. Being home...
In preparation for our trip to the Alps, my friend Ed has made us a great set of stickers featuring the 5 of us that are going: I just love it! There’s~ Ed &...
In 2010, Kenny and I flew to Italy to meet up with our friend Pimmie and do some riding in the Alps. Our travels took us through the mountains of Italy, Switzerland and Austria....
A few years ago, before we’d taken our first riding trip to Italy I had a page torn out of an American Express travel pamphlet. It was the town of Corvara, Italy nestled in...

Well hello, sunshine! What a difference a day makes. I wish I knew why I am a morning person. I so envy those that can slumber into the late morning. Alas, it isn’t in...
Oh, Innsbruck. Our time together was too short. On Wednesday morning, we packed up our circus in no time flat and said goodbye to the city. We were heading back up in to the...
While riding on the Fluelapass in Switzerland we passed an Ecomobile. You can file that under something you don’t see everyday! What am I talking about? It’s a Swiss BMW K-bike powered, enclosed motorcycle with...
After a long day in the saddle we pulled in to the city of Innsbruck around dinner time. We found a nice, inexpensive hotel on the outskirts in the town of Rum. We got...
The first thing that I did when I woke up was open up the window and look out. To my dismay the roadway was damp. But… at least it wasn’t raining. I watched four...
When we climbed down from the top of the San Bernardino pass, we had the rain on our heels. If we were going to make the most of our plans for the day we...
Though it has been in use since Roman times, the San Bernardino pass was first made known to me from the first episode of Top Gear season 10. In it, Clarkson, Hammond and May...
