KC Wedding – Adventure Cycling Texas Hill Country, Part Two
April 5 – 14 Each day of the bike tour starts out the same, that is arise earlier than one might want to, begin to break down the sleeping bags and pads, get some breakfast, and pack everything up to get it on the luggage truck in time to leave camp around 8am. Joanna and […]
KC Wedding – Adventure Cycling Texas Hill Country, Part One
April 5 – 14 And so, spring rolled around, and we began nearly three months of travel, two in the States and one in Europe. First up would be the road trip, which we will break down into segments that will culminate with our nephew Dillon’s wedding on May 14th in Kansas City. The first […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Portales, New Mexico
November 16-17 We filled up on breakfast at the Holiday Inn and after loading up the car, made our way to the Grace Museum on the outskirts of downtown. Located at the corner of Cypress and North First Streets, it was built in 1909 by Col. W. L. Beckham of Greenville, Texas. Constructed in the […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Abilene, Texas
November 14-15 I hit the road for San Antonio around 10am and made good time including a brief stop at a McDonald’s for their decent coffee and a very good cinnamon roll. Soon enough I found myself at the airport where after a short wait at the cellphone lot, I picked up Joanna and we […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Corpus Christi, Texas
November 12-13 My drive the next day at just under six hours would go smoother, with just a quick stop for lunch at a McDonalds. I arrived and Stephanie and Lee’s house mid-afternoon feeling much better than the day before, unloaded the car and then in the wink of an eye, found myself sitting next […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Vidor, Texas
November 11 It would be a long day in the car as I plied my way east on Interstate 10, figuring I’d have a six-hour drive ahead of me. Originally, we had planned to spend one more night in Mobile and then move on to Galveston for three nights but that went by the wayside […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Santa Fe, Part One
May 29 – June 1 With a seven-hour drive ahead of us we got on the road early, walking out the door with Bev as she left for work. We’d be splitting the 11-hour drive to Santa Fe into two stages, doing the lion’s share today with an overnight in Dalhart, Texas giving us a […]
South East Spring Swing, Corpus Christi #2
March 16-18 Knowing that we would need to get an early start the next day for the long drive to New Orleans (made longer due to the closure of the I-10), we slept in and dawdled Friday morning. Once we got ready to move out we bandied about several options and decided to make it […]

ACUI San Antonio – A Little Taste of Texas, Part Five
April 4-17 We met Roberta and Mark at Mellow Johnny’s as planned and spent a bit more time there perusing the stock, particularly the attractive jersey’s and short combinations (kits) offered. Unfortunately like most good bike clothing, they were a bit more than I wanted to spend at that time. I instead opted for a […]
