This is the look of a woman who just got home after completing a 15,000 mile/24,140 kilometer ride from the Boston area to Panama City, Panama and back during the summer of 2012. I got home and all I could do was ask my son to help me put the bike on the center stand and take a picture of my face glowing with accomplishment. My son or daughter always greet me when I arrive after a long ride. I am always exhausted but very happy to be home to plan the next ride.
This photo was taken at the Zakim Bridge in Boston Massachusetts by Eduardo Mendes. On this day, I was trying to capture a photo with the bridge in the background. Eduardo was walking by and I asked him if he could take a photo of me using my camera. He said, "I can take a photo of you with mine." He told me where to move my bike and I did the jump. That evening, he sent me a friend request and sent me the revised photo. I love it so much that think it is a wonderful addition on my blog/website demonstrating how the generosity of a stranger and kindness makes a better world for all of us. He took the time to make the photo look better by using the computer. |
I created this site to share some of my long distance riding adventures with you and my students. Thank you for visiting my site. Last summer I launched on an incredible ride to Panama City, Panama and back home to the Boston Massachusetts area. In 60 days I completed a 15,000 mile/42,428 kilometer ride on my beloved 2009 Triumph Bonneville. I was hoping that the ride would quench my deep thirst for extreme riding but it did not. I find myself now wanting to be back on the road. During the summer of 2013, I will ride quite a bit in the Northeast part of the United States and Canada. Please visit my site often to stay current with my rides.
This is my official SPOT tracker route I did coming home from the Panama Canal.

from Icebergs to swamp in Gulf of Mexico to the furthest SOUTHERN point in USA
As of writing this post (August 2, 2013), I find myself in a small town Tullahoma, Tennessee visiting my uncle and catching some much needed rest after riding over 6600miles/10,600kilometers. My ride is not complete because I still need to ride home to the Boston area.... Stay tuned for more postings. On June 22, 2013, I rode to Belleville Canada to participate in a super amazing scooter race sponsored by Motoress, please see my blog post for details of the event. After completing the scooter rally, I rode to Newfoundland, Canada with my dear friend Arlene Batishill of GoGoGear, please see my blog post of the ride. After completing the ride to Newfounland, on July 12, I loaded my beloved Triumph Bonneville with summer riding and camping gear and headed south to Mississippi after receiving an invitation from Captain Kathy of Eco Tours of South Mississippi for a swamp tour. After the swamp tour, my thirst for extreme riding was not quenched, so I decided to ride to the Florida Keys, then back north to rest in Tullahoma Tennessee to wait for the next event in Stecoah, North Carolina with Horizons Unlimited. This is my official Spot Tracker that logs my activity, zoom in to get a better view. I tracked the activity up to Key West, Florida because the rest is just heading north back home.
