Killington VT Snowboard trip.

I know I set this up to be a motorcycle ride blog. But being it winter and the bike is put away till spring. I thought I would share a Vermont trip. Got back from a great time up in Killington VT. We left Thursday morning and drove through snow storm Hercules in a mini buss. The roads over all were not that bad. A few times we only traveling at 35 MPH (posted speed limit 55/65. Most of the time the roads were snow covered with tracks from other cars/trucks. Once on I-787 in Albany NY it was as if they forgot about I-787. I-787 was covered in snow or thick slush. The mini bus I was driving was starting to sided in a few different directions. It got a little scary, but yet fun in away. Here is a shot of back of the mini buss when we got to Rutland, VT. The back door was frozen shut. It was -4 degrees with a wind chill that felt like -20. Friday morning we wake up and head to Killington. I was amazed about how fast the roads went from not great to good. Vermont unlike here in DC kn...

Jill's House Benefit Ride

Jill's House Benefit Ride was today. Update: I just found out the number of riders. There was 250 riders and raised over $89,000 almost $92,000 for Jill's House. Update 2 : Someone got a photo of me Leaving Jill's House and going through Middleburg VA. Check Jill's House Flickr for more photos . A few of us meet here in the Alexandria area. Starting off one of the guys had a flat so we had to stop by the gas station (more on that later). We left there and rode out to McLean Bible Church - Prince William Campus for the meetup. They gave out Chick-fil-A for breakfast. The ride was nice took some back roads through The Plains of VA and into Middleburg VA then off to McLean Bible Church -Vienna, VA Campus. Where we ate lunch and got to tour Jill's House. It was police escorted. So that was cool going through red lights, not having to stop at stop signs, and having route 50, Dulles access road, and route 7 all to o...

Annapolis, MD Ride

Meetup with Christ For Life Motorcycle Ministry and rode out to Annapolis, MD and had lunch at Boatyard Bar & Grill . Food was good and the staff was nice and friendly. The ride started off ok. We crossed the bridge into MD and traffic started to slow down. Turned out there was something that happened on 495 that had 3 lanes blocked. We got off on 214. Once we got past all the stop lights on 214 it was a nice ride. We decided to take route 2 and drop down 408 to route 4. Were 2 and 408 meets up there is a traffic circle. I so wanted to just get in the circle and just do a few laps. But there was a bunch of traffic so doing the circle wouldn't have been any fun. When we got back on to 495 to head back into VA. The sun was shining but there was a light rain. To me the light rain felt good. It was like running through a cool mist on a hot day. Next weeks ride is to help raise money for this place called Jill's house . If you would like to help partner with me C...
