The Story

Beginning on June 14, 2013, I'll be starting a 6,000 mile ride taking me through Canada, the Black Hills of South Dakota, Wyoming, the ridge of the Rockies from Estes Park, CO to Santa Fe, NM, the Four Corners area of Utah, the Ozarks, the Smokies and back home. States I'll be riding through: New York, Ontario (Canada), Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.

This blog will follow that adventure on a frequent (hopefully daily) basis. This means that everyone can skip the slide show when I return! Enjoy.

It's been fun ...

Monday, July 1, 2013 - Day 18 - Home Again

As promised, this is the last post for Dick's BIG Ride.  And it has been one great ride!  Today was pouring rain and 60 degrees most of the way.  It took 9 hours in the saddle, but I finally pulled in the driveway about 6 PM.  What a great journey this has been!  Now for some brief stats:

 Length - 18 days

Total Distance - 5,859 miles

States & Provinces - 20  (New York, Ontario, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania)

Interesting Places - too numerous to count

Interesting People - ditto

Memories - countless and priceless

My thanks to Triumph Motorcycles for building a spectacular machine that carried me flawlessly through this journey.

My thanks to Patti for her support.

My thanks to all of you for following me on this adventure.  May you have your own adventures soon. 

Thanks !
