20170729 – For my 50th…..

It’s official…..

For years, I’ve been coveting a Motorcycle tour in the European Alps with Ducati.  I’ve decided for my 50th birthday, next year, I’m going to do it.  The deposit is paid and I’m officially booked my spot.  It’s an amazing 15 day ride through the Alps of Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.  Here’s a brief description of the ride:

The Alps – every motorcyclist’s dream! This tour introduces you to a stunning variety of scenery and culture as well as some of the world’s best mountain roads.

From Seefeld it takes only minutes to reach the first set of switchbacks, giving you an idea of what’s to come. Awesome views try to distract us as we tackle curve after curve, heading deeper and deeper into the Alps. In Switzerland the mountains are even higher and snow-covered year-round. On our way to France we collect passes like other people collect stamps. This is paradise for every avid rider!

And it’s not over yet. We enter Italy and immediately “La Dolce Vita” is all around us. Gorgeous lakes, lush orchards, the air filled with the smell of the world’s best Espresso, this must be God’s own country. We tackle more passes until we reach the mother of them all: Stelvio. 87 switchbacks. Simply breathtaking!
Before we return to Seefeld, the Dolomites and the Grossglockner High Alpine Road mark two of the final highlights along our route. One thing is for sure: the impressions you gain on this two week tour will make you yearn for more!

Here are some links about the ride:

20160926 – Moto Ride

After a morning of HOA business at the bank that lasted almost three hours, I finally got to the gym.   Afterwards, I had some food and headed out on the mt. bike for a ride and the day couldn’t be more gorgeous…!!  The sky is crystal blue and not a cloud in the sky.   With snow on the mountain tops and the Fall colors in full bloom, I rode back to the house and hopped on the motorcycle.

I headed up Red Mountain pass and couldn’t have asked for a BETTER day…!!
