Check out the Blog Archives to read about our cross country motorcycle road trip from MA to CA in the summer of 2011. During that trip we attended the Annual 2011 National Women On Wheels® Ride-In in San Jose CA. Then we just rode. We traveled over 11,000 motorcycle miles in what ever direction we wanted to go for 61 days. We visited friends and family, saw the country, met some amazing people. We made memories we'll never forget. These memories are what THIS BLOG is made of! That was only the beginning. We've been traveling and riding and blogging every since then. Enjoy our stories while we make MORE memories worthy of posting here for your enjoyment.

Wounded Vet Ride - Part 4 - Me and Cooper


The Wounded Vet Ride raised over $80,000.  There were 1,400 motorcycles at this event.  Every participant paid their entry fee for the privilege of participating and paying respect to our wounded veterans for their service of our country.  

To take part in something like this really opens your eyes.  These soldier come home with devastating injuries to their bodies, hearts and souls.  Some soldiers pay for our freedom with their lives.  I'm forever thankful and respectful of them for their sacrifices. 

Here are a couple pictures of me and Cooper as we met with a group who was also riding to Boston together.  


















Unfortunately, my bike broke down and I was unable to go on the 30 mile guided ride with the other 1,400 bikes.  My bike and one other broke down with dead batteries.  I'm glad to have paid the entry fee however, and I fully intend to participate in this ride again next year WITH A CHARGED BATTERY.
