Love the fire tower. Can you climb it and is there still a good view? Is it on one of the fools ride routes?

I love that picture Jethro! Unfortunately it is not in service.

That one is from our friend's Wailin' Wayne Weekend rally down in Wayne National Forest in central Ohio. One of the scenic stops from our "Wailin's ADV Dual Sporting Loop" group ride that I lead. Great riding down there!

Kane really captures the feel and essence of Adventure Riding. I find myself staring at the photos knowing that each of them tells a story while holding a back story. Where were they? How did they get to that spot? Who made us laugh at that moment? and what will be next? Did the bike hold up? Where and when do we eat?

These pictures convey a strong sense of community.

Thank you for sharing

Thanks Deric! Motorcycling can be such a solo sport. It is the rider and the bike, you are solely responsible for your own actions. You tell the bike where to go, what to do, and how fast or slow to do it. I love that aspect. The inner. The physical. The solo accomplishments and the previous mistakes that made it possible.

But my goal with this whole experiment is to bring it together as a team sport. Each rider has to do his/her own thing but we work as a group to accomplish the ride of the day, the camp of the night, and the goal of the trip... to Have Fun, Take Chances!

Howdy to all the fools that showed up to ride April fools ride! While I took a pass on Saturday's nonsensical weather (hey it's Ohio, hey its April you fool!) My group and I had a great comfortable ride through the farmland on Sunday. Man I thought I new those roads! There was an awful lot of Petroleum money on display, The fracking $ has built a lot of nice homes and super garages! Thanks to all who helped put on the weekend ride, and Thanks to the locals who welcomed us riding in their neighborhood! It was cold (high thirties) when we set out, but it was nudging 50 when we packed up at the end of a great ride. See you fools next year! Looking forward to more Dual purpose and ADV rides this year!
