We had a great ride with a couple of thousand fellow riders out of Dumfries and made our way up to D.C. for Rolling Thunder XX. I can't imagine a better way to celebrate our fighting men & women and remember all those who have not come home yet.

Skyline Drive May 2007
It took us a while to get back on the road. But perfect weather and Skyline was callin'. So 6 of us took off for our first ride of the season.
Lots of bikes were on the road. Rolling Thunder is tomorrow and tens of thousands of bikers will be descending on the area.

USMC Museum
On a perfect day we began the 2007 riding season with a trip to the USMC Museum. It was just the right ride to get back on to the road. The museum is a must see if you are in the area.

New life for my Sundowner
Well, it's been more than a month since my last ride. In the interim I decided to reshape & recover my sundowner seat.
Today was sunny & about 50 so it was time to go for a ride and test out that seat. More than 75 miles and the seat felt great!
It's a good thing I was able to ride today.
It started snowing tonight.

That Gopher better be right!
If Puxatawney Phil is correct and winter is going to be short it can't be soon enough for me. After the slush & snow finally melted this week the weekend is looking promising for a ride. Hopefully a ride to Waugh's Saturday will shake the withdrawls.

Appomattox Courthouse Ride
I don't know if it's global warming but the unusually warm day was perfect for riding. Gary & Jeff joined up for a ride through Louisa to Appomattox Courthouse. The all day ride took us on a 275 mile circuit back home.
I would be willing to sacrifice the planet's future for more winter days like this. It's not like I have any kids to worry about it!

Turkey Weekend Ride
Almost 70 and sunny late fall? Sounds like a day to ride. The morning was pretty cool but bundle up until the temps rise and it was fine. We wandered through Northern Virginia until we ended up in Point of Rock, MD. Took some twisty back roads over to Hampton Roads and worked our way through some mountian roads the Charles Town, WV. Then we made our way back home. A three state tour was just what I needed. Since winter is setting in and this may be the last one til spring.

November 5th Skyline Ride
The November weather has been good for riding. A little cool but not too bad. Gary & I decided to head north on Skyline to Front Royal. The sun broke early and it turned in to a great day.

Skyline Drive Fall Colors
The fall turn was in full swing and it was a great day for a ride in the mountians. I never get tired of Skyline. It's such a relaxing day long ride. I might have to do this again before it gets too cold.

Skyline Drive Grillout
It was a great ride, good food and another successful Battlefield Sportsters outing. Gary and Trish joined in for the first time. Just when you think you can't top the last ride, the next ride exceeds all expectations for a fun day.

July 1, Skyline Drive
It took us a while to organize another ride down Skyline Drive but it was worth it. 90+ degrees until we hit the mountains and the AC was turned on and made the ride perfect.

Heritage Bike Rally
It's the last day here in Charleston. The event could have been better. The rally just didn't rise to my expectations, the Kid Rock show sucked, I just expected more.
I guess bike events are not my style.
