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.

Managing The Heat


Man!  Sometimes the heat is intolerable.   Dangerous if you don't watch for the warning signs.


When we stop, Cooper gets a good cold drink of water.


Lisa and I drink from our hydration packs while we're riding.  
We fill them with ice and add water or Gatorade at each stop.

Wet our clothes sometimes.



Cooper has an ice pack in his crate so when it's really hot I make him stay inside with the ice.  

















This isn't his favorite, but sometimes he needs to be kept cool.
















He prefers to see where we are, so usually I don't close the crate at all.  It does offer him a little shade which is ok up to 90 degrees or so, but over 90 he needs more.


And sometimes we just need to get inside where it's air conditioned for a while.
