Regency Suspension Bridge San Saba, Texas

June 19, 2018 by Margaret Filed Under: Day Rides, Road Trips, Texas Leave a Comment

Last weekend we took a ride that we’ve wanted to take for five years! We finally made it out to ride the Regency Suspension Bridge near San Saba, Texas. This is the last suspension bridge in the state that is still open to automobile traffic. We tried to find this bridge almost exactly five years ago when […]

This weekend was fantastic! You know the ones that you look forward to for days; well this was one of those. Scott called me from work midweek and asked if I wanted to take a ride with some friends on Saturday. He said they had invited us to ride out to the Lewisville Western Days […]

Historical Jail Ride

Last weekend was a BUSY weekend but it was all fun! We started it off on Saturday with The Annual Water 4 Life Ride. I am not going to share much about it here because Scott did a great job of covering it on Rumbling Rider. I will say it was chilly but worth enduring for the […]

Packing for a One Day Ride

August 9, 2014 by Margaret Filed Under: Around Town, Gearing Up, Road Trips, Safety 1 Comment

One of the things I discovered very quickly was a day trip on a motorcycle isn’t like a day trip in a car or truck. I guess I figured this out even when I was occasionally riding on the back of Scott’s bike but when you have to pack your own bike it becomes more obvious. To make […]

Rain, I don’t think there is a rider out there that likes riding it. We do our best to avoid it but sometimes you can’t. That was the case when we took an 11 day trip to ride The Blue Ridge Parkway. Scott and I spent months planning our trip to The Blue Ridge Parkway […]

Blue Ridge Bound, Baby!

11 days and 3149 miles through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Arkansas, and Oklahoma before getting back to Fort Worth, TX. We rode along 3 scenic parkways/byways: the Cherohala Skyway that extends across both Tennessee and North Carolina, the Blue Ridge Parkway that extends across North Carolina and Virginia, and the Talimena Scenic Byway that extends between Arkansas and Oklahoma. While […]

Since I began riding Scott has been telling me we need to find a place we can ride to have breakfast at on occasion. He didn’t want a chain restaurant and it needed to be far enough away to make it worth getting the bikes out but close enough we could leave when the […]

Talimena Scenic Byway May 2014

June 6, 2014 by Margaret Filed Under: Arkansas, Oklahoma, Road Trips 1 Comment

We had been planning to ride the Talimena Scenic Byway for months and finally found a good time to do it. Memorial Day weekend provided us with a three day weekend that was perfect for the ride. Margaret reserved a room for us a couple weeks in advance so we wouldn’t have any issues trying […]

8,000 miles!

June 1, 2014 by Margaret Filed Under: Around Town, Road Trips Leave a Comment

Today I have had my license for exactly one year and I rolled 8,000 miles on my bike while out for a quick ride. When I bought my bike I had no idea how much I would enjoy it and quickly I would become addicted to it. I enjoy the sites we see and […]

Destination: Muenster & Bridgeport, TX

Before it’s gone, a reoccurring thought lately. Am I living the life I want to? Am I spending enough time with who matters and doing what matters most? Am i living a life without regret? One of the things I like most about riding is the time to think. I like to see the scenery […]
