A surprise ride on a surprisingly beautiful day. With added drama!

Alsace in the Autumn
Not the best of weather, but I wanted to extend my errand-run to Germany a little bit and decided to check out the vineyards of the Alsace, hoping for some good colors in the Vosges Mountains while I was there.
What to see at the Bodensee?
Dan and I and our friend Bob took a ride over to the Bodensee. The weather wasn’t entirely cooperative, but we did what we had hoped to do and had a good time doing it. We stopped at Touratech and then visited the Zeppelin Museum in Freidrichshafen, Germany. So much history!
Autumn’s Alpine Splendor
With fantastic weather forecasted, Dan and I took the motorcycles into the Alps, taking in the three closest passes to make it a full day. Eight hours of fun in the sun that lead to some incredible views. Enjoy!
A Cold Attempt at Exploring the Jura with Dan
The sun was deceptive – it was cold outside. We stuck to it for a couple of hours but finally slunk home to hot chocolate and fondue.
Riding to Biberach (DE)
Dan and I visited friends in Germany, taking the motorcycles in an effort to sneak in one more ride this season.
Half-day ride through the Jura Mountains
Rain was in the forecast for the weekend so I snuck out of Basel for a few hours and got in short ride. Perfect weather – I wonder how long that will last?
Andiamo! A ride to Italy’s north coast
Dan, Bob and I hopped on the motorcycles for a three day trip to the Mediterranean. It was a lot of riding, but the good far outweighed the bad. There are a lot of pictures, so I’ll be posting it up in parts.
Passwang II
I took a couple of hours to check out Passwang Pass – again – and the pass I’d been told about on the other side of the ridge. It was another beautiful day in Switzerland and the green hills made for an excellent backdrop to some excellent roads.
A Black Forest Jaunt
I snuck in a few hours in the Black Forest last week and am just now posting about it. It wasn’t too much – just a ride through some nice quiet roads on a lovely day. I ended up riding to Titisee (DE) but it was much too crowded with summer vacationers for my liking. At least “my liking” while wearing riding gear and walking around in the hot sun.
