Our Trips
Between 2009 and 2013, we've visited 42 states by motorcycle. We're missing Alaska, North Dakota, and six northeastern states. We hope to ride through the northeastern states in spring 2014. Maybe we'll ride to Alaska in 2015!
You can read about some of our bigger trips below. Enjoy!

Tail of the Dragon and Deals Gap
July 2013
It was past due to hit the road again and explore more of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Tail of the Dragon, Deals Gap. Rain was in the forecast, but we figured it wouldn't be a complete washout. Well it did rain at least 60% of the time, but that wouldn't ruin our fun.

We tried to go camping in Virginia's Shenandoah Mountains during peak fall foliage, but all the campgrounds and lodges were full for miles. We kept riding west and found a perfect camping spot in West Virginia.

17 States in 17 Days

Our first major motorcycle trip! We seriously thought we'd only make it to Ohio and back... but then we made it from DC to Ohio by dinner time on the first day, so we just kept riding west until we hit Utah.

Home Sweet Home in Washington, DC
DC traffic can be a nightmare, but we love riding through the city on Friday and Saturday nights when the traffic dies down.
