In fact, I apologized to Justin for not posting a review of the map, here is what I wrote….. “Good morning Justin, I haven’t posted my review about the hardcopy Butler Map for two…Read More…
I was just talking to a coworker the other day about Round Rock Donuts and it seemed fitting to blog about them today. You maybe thinking Euless, Texas to Round Rock, Texas…..that’s 190 miles straight down the interstate of chaos (I-35); why that’s BikerMonkey insanity!!! First off, this is certainly not beneath me and I…Read More…
Gruene with envy, hehehehe, I thought that was a pretty good play on words. Anyway…… When I think of the heart of Texas I don’t think of Brady, Texas even though it is the center of Texas and they have a billboard saying, “Brady, The Heart of Texas.” I actually go straight to Gruene, Texas,…Read More…

I am not really sure what to say on this topic, hmmmm. I can say that the learning curve of how to organize a structured ride and working with the Iron Butt Association and Epilepsy Warriors was a lot of fun and very rewarding. I can certainly see more events coming in the near future! …Read More…

I bet you guys didn’t think a 1,000 mile ride could be dragged out over so many days, huh? Well, I decided to take off this past weekend from writing for good behavior. Actually truth be told, I had a pretty long “honey do” list after taking off the prior weekend to do the ride,…Read More…
Traffic thinned out fairly quickly on I-10 as we left Houston; we had partly cloudy skies, a nice cool breeze was still coming up out of the south off of the coast, so all was good. We did hit a section of I-10 that made for some interesting sport though; a long stretch of highway…Read More…
First off, nobody should be awake at 2:45 AM, however, that’s when Saturday, September 17, 2011 started for Suzy and I. My little brain powered by the two ferrets in a sack started working immediately; reviewing checklists two and three times over. I have to admit, this ride was more stressful given the responsibilities of the…Read More…
