Catch the LDR Bug With Webb

"It's not the destination; it's the journey." This year I'll ride my Harley over 100,000 miles to help seven young men live their best lives by getting them off the pavement with an all-terrain wheelchair.

    Lap of the 48 Complete (For Real This Time)

    Yesterday in the United States ☀️ 59 °F

    If you scroll back a couple of months, you'll find a footprint from 25 August. Although it was sincere, it turned out to be false. I hadn't completed the Lap of the 48 ride 😔. Today, I rectified my mistake 💪.

    Despite my meticulous planning, I missed a required stop for Iron Butt's Lap of the 48 ride (https://www.ironbutt.com/themerides/rat48/). And despite riding right by the city TWICE this year, I didn't stop in Sault Ste Marie 😱. So, this morning I left Milwaukee and got my photo in SSM to complete the ride 👏👏👏.

    As I was getting gas for my DBR (dated business receipt that proves you were where you claimed to be when you claimed to be there), I got a text from the IBA Officiate who had to deny my original submission saying, "Woo Hoo, Sault Ste. Marie!" 🤣🤣 We had spoken on the phone a couple of times, and he was rooting for me to finish it. And now I have!!

    I am trying another Iron Butt ride tomorrow, so I got a hotel room tonight. Plus, it's too damn cold out there to camp with the summer-weight gear I have. It's a huge ride, and TBH, I'm not sure I'll be able to complete it, but I'm going to give it a go. In the meantime, wish me luck and watch for tomorrow night's footprint.

    Oh! There was an auto parts store next door to the hotel, so I bought some clear coat to try to save Bill Davidson's signature. 🤞🤞🤞

    Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️

    Ride Home - Day 5 The End

    October 19 in the United States ⛅ 52 °F

    Had a wonderful and short ride from Ottawa IL to Milwaukee via Chicago HD. Just north of the state line, the 150 or so bikes gathered together and we rode "home" to the Museum with Rally Coordinator Bill Davis in the lead. This is really HIS ride home as he's retiring after this rally. We don't know yet who will replace him because the replacement he just spent over a year training was chosen to become the next HOG Regional Manager, a huge position. I made sure to throw my hat in the ring (again) tonight at dinner,🤞 but I'm not holding my breath.

    We were extremely fortunate to have our closing (and very delicious) dinner at historic Harley Headquarters on Juneau Avenue 🤗. What a wonderful meal! We had several VIPs join us, including Karen Davidson, CFO, Lead Council, and many other HOG Divisioners. So cool!

    What a great rally! Thanks, Bill!! 🧡

    Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️

    Ride Home - Day 4

    October 18 in the United States 🌙 54 °F

    Again, because of the low temperature, three of us rolled out at 1100 🤣. We popped by an HD, then had lunch followed by a Dairy Queen ice cream cone pit stop and a second HD. Then it was straight to Starved Rock HD for fellowship and dinner.

    Bonus!! Bill Davidson (yes, THAT Davidson) signed the bike!!! Have to find something that will make it permanent.

    Ride Home - Day 2

    October 16 in the United States ☁️ 52 °F

    I rolled 115,000 miles for the year today 😱🫶!! I also got my 15th location for HOG's 15 Rides for 2026, and completed the Kentucky 50 Rides for AULDR. 💪

    We had our evening get together and dinner at Blue Grass HD, which is a beautiful facility.

    Very short but really nice ride.

    Ride Home - Day 1

    October 15 in the United States 🌙 77 °F

    I rode by myself this morning, leaving at 0600 to avoid some of the traffic on I-40. I rode two 50 Rides routes, NC's Hellbender (NC-28) and TN's Tail of the Dragon (US-129). I've been on both several times before, but I needed them this year for AULDR.

    I also collected 7 HDs and 7 points for RTE 💪. It was a really nice day, all sunshine and almost 90°F 😱. There was so much traffic, though, everywhere. Really frustrating.

    I had some extra time, so I went to Cycle Gear in Knoxville. I've been having a couple of problems with the helmet I bought earlier this year, and when they looked at it, they decided to just give me a new one 🤗. Unfortunately, they didn't have a white one, but a matte black works just as well. I personalized it this evening with a couple of stickers I picked up somewhere and with a white grease pencil 💪🤣.

    We had a great dinner this evening at Smokey Mountain HD in Maryville. They are always a terrific host!!

    Ride Home HOG Touring Rally Check In

    October 14 in the United States ☀️ 86 °F

    This morning I walked to get a pedicure, then walked back to the HD. I hung out all day talking to everyone checking in for the Ride Home rally, the last rally of the year 😔. It's always so nice to see all the familiar faces 🤗.

    Bill Davidson and his wife Angie are joining us for this one. Really nice to see him again. Maybe I can get him to sign my bike 🤔🤞.

    160,000-Mile Service

    October 13 in the United States ☀️ 82 °F

    Michael is dropping parts (bread crumbs) again 🤣. There's a black plastic piece that fills the gap under the ignition switch. It's fallen off before, but I caught it then. This time it's completely gone. Oh well.

    The service tech also clocked the same base gasket leak that they found 15,000 miles ago. I took more pictures of it as a comparison. It's still just a weep, and I'm confident it will get me home.

    After service I rode to Hobby Lobby (more on why later), did laundry, and got a haircut. Great day!!!

    [Only about 5 miles so I'll roll that into tomorrow's numbers.]    Read more

    Columbia to Hickory

    October 12 in the United States ☀️ 79 °F

    I had a very nice sleep at Harley Haven and was rolling by 0530. Today was uneventful with lots of twisties as I collected photos mostly for Ride to Eat. I have service at Blue Ridge HD in the morning, so I've checked into the hotel down the street. Luckily, it's the same room in the same hotel that I'll be sharing for the next two nights when my friend arrives for the final touring rally of the year, Ride Home. So, I get to stay here for three nights in a row! Yay!!

    Last Capitol Building 💪👍🤗

    October 11 in the United States 🌙 66 °F

    When I woke up at 0500, a gale was blowing, so I went back to bed for an hour. Then another hour. Then 30 more minutes. By 0730, the front had passed, and despite it still raining a bit, I rolled out at 0800 determined to make some miles.

    It was very slow going with the wet roads and road spray, but I plodded along and stayed fairly dry (except my boots). Since it was already 70°F and only getting warmer, I didn't really care about getting wet.

    Around 1315, I dove into Sea Breeze HD in Wilmington NC just seconds before the final front slammed into me. Fortunately it didn't last long, and I was rolling again around 1400. The rest of the day is where I made most of my miles.

    The biggest thing today was that I got my final State Capitol Building!!! WOO HOO!!! So very happy to finish that huge challenge!!

    Since I was back in Columbia SC and with the weather being so nice tonight, I decided to sleep at Harley Haven again, which is where I am now. G'nite!!

    Shelter From the Storm

    October 10 in the United States ☁️ 70 °F

    I reluctantly and tearfully left the Kumpes this morning. It was so very wonderful to see them.

    My first stop was Bull Run HD in Manassas, which is shut down 😔. They still had a sign up though, and it still counted for the Dealership Challenge 👍.

    Then it was on to Skyline Drive, Virginia's 50 Rides route. 🤦. What a flustercuck. This is as bad as the Natchez Trace in Mississippi. 35 mph or less the entire 105 miles! Boat loads of people today, probably to look at the leaves. They don't know that those leaves aren't nearly as gorgeous as Vermont's 😉. Cars parked in the road, bicyclists, drivers playing lookieloo instead of driving, RVs...terrible. With some creative passing, I finally made it through.

    The rest of the day I spent like I always do, getting photos. But today I was also keeping one eye on the weather.

    When I was about to head to Hampton/Newport News, I realized I would probably hit some rain. Plus, pretty significant storms would be happening tonight, so I opted for a hotel room again.

    Now, I'm hunkered down in bed hoping all the wet passes by me tonight 🤞🤞🤞.

    Traffic & More Traffic

    October 9 in the United States ☁️ 57 °F

    My second attempt to take a Tour of Honor photo with the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial was a success. The first time I visited the site, which is located on a federal installation, was when the federal government was shut down and they weren't letting anyone on base. Today, they searched the bike so I could ride it 20 feet into the visitor parking lot. At the visitor center, I had to walk through a metal detector, pass my phone and TOH placard through the X-ray machine, have a background check run on me, and leave my driver's license with them. Then I walked the quarter mile to the memorial, took my photo, and walked back. Worst TOH location EVER!

    https://www.firehero.org/fallen-firefighters/me…

    That was my first stop of the day. I spent the rest of the day battling traffic around Baltimore and D.C. 😓 I got all my stops except the last Harley dealership. I cut it out when I found out my friend's youngest son was leading his high school marching band at tonight's game. He's the senior drum major. No way I was missing that!!

    In 2021, I met an incredible human being nicknamed Lumpy, who told me about the Hoka Hey. I signed up and was accepted in 2022, but he lost his decade-long battle with cancer before I could ride it. So, I had "For Lumpy" on my bike and on my vest. Tonight I'm spending time with his family, his wonderful wife, the oldest son the firefighter, and the youngest son the drum major. Their sister is in college in Michigan.

    It is so fantastic to see them again!!

    It was daylight before I rolled out of Ron & Carrie's place. What lovely people 🤗.

    I spent all day in pretty bad traffic. A few standstills, but it mostly kept moving, so I would say it was terrible. From the Berkshires, I dropped south through the Catskills into New Jersey where I picked up the Capitol Building in Trenton. Then it was off to Harrisburg for Pennsylvania's. I only have TWO LEFT!!!!

    I also got a couple of HDs and a Ride to Eat, and I finished New Jersey for AULDR 💪. I wonder if I'll be able to break 1,100 points 🤔. I'm not sure anyone has done that yet.

    Vermont Is Sooooo Slow 🤦

    October 7 in the United States ☀️ 63 °F

    Woke up shivering at 0100. By 0330 I couldn't take the cold any longer and got busy breaking camp. Turns out, it was 27°F🥶😔. I rolled out with all of my heated gear plugged in and on high. It mostly worked. My poor piggies though.

    Before daylight, I got to a town for one of my picture stops, and I dove into a Dunkin Donuts to wait for daylight and higher temps.

    I accidentally became a member of the breakfast club with 4 guys who knew every single person in the place. The conversations they had. I've never witnessed men gossiping like that. So funny!

    It had warmed up to a balmy 32°F when I rolled about an hour later and never got over 50 😔. I didn't get to wear my new gloves for very long, only about an hour in the afternoon.

    I spent the rest of the day trying to get through Vermont. I swear I've driven across Texas faster than how long it took me to go 300 miles in Vermont. 🤦

    I stopped at Ben & Jerry's because another Hoka Hey friend had hidden a container in the Flavor Graveyard 🤣. I found it but haven't opened it yet 🤣.

    My light at the end of the leaf peeper tunnel was spending the evening with my Hoka Hey brother Ron and his amazing wife Carrie. Ron and I met and rode together for many days during the 2022 Hoka Hey. Unfortunately, he had maintenance problems that kept him from finishing the second half of this year's Hoka Hey. So, this is the first time I've seen him since the starting line. Love these folks!!

    Ran into Hoka Hey Mile Monster Marky Mark while waiting for HD to open. 🤗 Always great to see friends.

    I felt so honored today. They literally applauded me for my 3rd place finish when I came into the store. So nice and completely unexpected. One guy congratulated me on being first. When I corrected him to third, he replied, "First woman finisher." Huh, I hadn't thought of it that way, but true. But I finished before more men than women 💪. How do you like them apples?! 🤣

    My red gloves finally blew out, so I got a new pair of white 😱 ones today. Wonder how white they'll be in a month 🤦.

    "Mom" at HD bought me a delicious salad for lunch.

    Found my Hoka Hey brother Ron paid for my service today 😱. We'll be having a conversation about that tomorrow when I slap him 😉. I am incredibly fortunate to have so many loving, generous, and joyful people in my life.

    Just about everybody at HD signed the bike and then we took a group photo with the Akichita.

    Finally left HD at 1800 with new tires, new brake pads, new wheel bearings, and new heated grips. Not able to replace grips under warranty because they were damaged from the semi knock over. So thankful I replaced them now instead of waiting for insurance, though, because it's 34°F right now 😱🥶. No hotels because of leaf gazers, so I'm camping in the parking lot of a veterinary clinic. I'm warm enough except my piggies, but I'm sure they'll be okay since I'm wearing my boots inside my sleeping bag 🤣.

    Only 4 Capitols left!!

    Man, did I have a lot of stops today. Tour of Honor, AULDR, Ride To Eat, Dealerships, Capitols...every challenge got a plug today 💪🤣.

    One of my stops was for a mural on the VFW, but I found the building completely gone and already replaced by another. The Google Maps image must be a few years old. If I don't find a mural, I can't finish Vermont for AULDR, so I posted an emergency Facebook message. Lots of folks to the rescue! They've pointed me to several good ones!! Thank you🤗!!

    I made it from New York through Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, which took almost 19 hours. Whoosh 😮‍💨. Now I'm sitting outside Ocean State HD in Rhode Island eating a snack and just about to set up my tent. I'm getting maintenance tomorrow, so I don't have to pack up and roll at 0400 👍.

    New York 🤦

    October 4 in the United States 🌙 57 °F

    All day driving in New York 🤦. No one stays in their lane, no one looks when they pull out or change lanes. I thought it was just NYC, but nope, it's the whole state apparently.

    It was a beautiful day, though, and I got a few chances to glance away from the road to see some of the fall foliage. The sun lit up a valley of hundreds of reds, yellows, and greens. It's really beautiful.

    The best part of the day was meeting up with my friend Mike near Rochester. Thanks for the fellowship and food!! Hugs until next time!!

    Now, I'm camped behind Performance HD in Syracuse. It's lit up, but there seems to be a dense homeless population in this area, so lights are welcome tonight. I have a sleeping mask. I also used their picnic table to rework my routes for tomorrow so I can make it to my next service on Tuesday. The rain put me about a day behind, but I think I've got it sorted now. 🤞 G'night!!

    October 3 in the United States 🌙 55 °F

    Another morning where it was hard to get out of bed. I let the weather pass and rolled out about 0700. The roads were still wet and road spray was killer, but my boots and clothes stayed dry today 👍. (I left the hair dryer running on my boots all night last night. Worked great!! 🤣)

    I didn't have a lot of stops today, but I got the Tennessee Capitol Building (only 8 to go!), three dealerships, and one Tour of Honor site. 💪

    The best part of my day was when my friend called me this evening. I had stopped for gas about 50 miles before Erie PA and saw there was a Red Roof Inn across the highway. Just as I got off the highway, my buddy Mike called. He lives in New York state and was curious if I would have time to see him. I called him back after I got gas and got into the hotel. And my answer was I absolutely have time to see you tomorrow!! Yay!

    Now I'm curled up in a comfy bed with the heat on 😱. At my last gas stop, I was about to put on my heated gloves because the temperature dropped to the mid-50s when the sun went down 🥶. The hotel clerk said it was 45°F yesterday, so I brought my heated gear into the hotel to layer up in the morning. Maybe I won't need it though 🤞.

    P.S.: I think I found the only Red Roof that has breakfast 😱🤗.

    Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️

    Soaked

    October 2 in the United States 🌧 81 °F

    🤬🤬🤬 The same storm I spent 250 miles in yesterday has followed me. I'll have to keep riding in it to get to Erie PA before I can turn east. 🤬🤬🤬 I've taken showers that left me drier than this storm.

    Fuck it. I'm at a hotel. 250 miles today, service this morning, 1 TOH stop this afternoon when I could finally see the road.

    P.S.: The service team at Bumpus HD of Jackson TN is fantastic!!! They were definitely the best part of my day.

    Iron Butt to Tennessee

    October 1 in the United States ⛅ 79 °F

    Last NM TOH. 250 miles of rain 😔, from west of Fort Worth to Texarkana 😔. Only 18 semis tried to squish me. The further south the interstate is, the more aggressive the fucking truckers are. Dickheads, every single one of them.

    NM152 -- Ride It!

    September 30 in the United States 🌙 64 °F

    I REALLY had trouble getting out of bed today 😔. I forgot to set my alarm and didn't wake up until after 0700, but didn't roll until almost 0900.

    I had planned to have lunch with my friend Michael in El Paso, but with my late start, that turned into dinner.

    Once I got rolling, I really missed my heated grips, which haven't worked since the semi knocked me over. It was only 50°F 😱! But despite the chill and some rain, I collected two Tour of Honor stops for New Mexico before meeting up with Michael in Fabens TX at Cattleman's Steakhouse at Indian Cliffs Ranch. Several movies were filmed there, including Courage Under Fire (Meg Ryan, Denzel Washington). A wonderful 3-hour long fellowship and amazingly delicious meal. Thanks for waiting for me!!!

    I was so full and contented after seeing Michael and eating so much food that I grabbed the first motel room I could find. Then I texted my friend in Memphis to see if I could stay with her again tomorrow. It's over 1100 miles to get to her, but I need service and I'm sick of camping it. Wish me luck!! 🤞

    Oh yeah, and if you're in southern New Mexico, make sure to ride NM152!!! Comparable to Arizona's Devils Highway and absolutely stunning. Lots of camping along the river. Beautiful scenery, twisty squiggles, and good road surface!!! Ride it!!!

    LA to Tucson

    September 29 in the United States ☀️ 73 °F

    I am truly weary 😔. I have to force myself out of bed. I have no desire to ride, but I am pushing to roll further. This morning was no different.

    To help myself get and keep going, I decided to skip the last three Tour of Honor stops in California, which saved me 600 miles today. So, instead of staying in Yuma as I expected, I've made it all the way to Tucson. Unfortunately, I've run into the back of a storm (hurricane remnants?), so I've stopped at a motel for the night, which is where I am now.

    Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️

    Route 66 West Day 6: The End

    September 28 in the United States 🌙 70 °F

    Three of us left Victorville at 0800 determined to finish Route 66 despite LA area traffic.

    Our first stop was the location of the very first McDonald's 😱. It's a museum now, but the inside wasn't open until 1000, so we rolled on.

    We saw some.of the old buildings, mainly motels, including another Wigwam Hotel and a motor motel with a carport for each room. I wish they had those now.

    We stopped for lunch at The Hut, a small chain of fastfood restaurants that specialize in pastrami. I had the "World Famous Pastrami Cheeseburger," which was huge and delicious. It had a sauce similar to a Big Mac or Thousand Island dressing. The pastrami was absolutely fantastic 🤤. Tender, not stringy, very flavorful. Yum!!

    We were getting short on time, so we raced down Wilshire Boulevard to one of my Tour of Honor stops, a piece of the Berlin Wall. It's always so cool to see the original panels.

    After that, we jumped on I-10 and hightailed it to the Santa Monica Pier to take a group photo with the other rally riders. So awesome!!

    Then we were off to Bartel's HD for dinner, door prizes, and fellowship. I'm sad to say goodbye to everyone, but I'm ready to get rolling once again and very ready to finish up this epic year.

    It has been such a special treat to do the entire length of Route 66 on its 100th Anniversary. And to do it with friends, both old and new, has made it a trip I won't soon forget. Thank you!! 🤗

    Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️

    2Ludlow CA 😳 The highest I've seen all year

    Route 66 West Day 5

    September 27 in the United States ☁️ 81 °F

    We left my friends home around 0730 this morning. They were going to rejoin Route 66 from just west of Kingman and head up the Sidewinder squiggly road into Oatman. I've already been through there this year, so I decided to pretty much beeline it to the hotel.

    I did a little of Route 66 on the way, though, stopping at Goff's Schoolhouse where there was a Tour of Honor stop. Then I had a really nice conversation with Paul on the side of the Route as we figured out the detour for construction. Nice guy 👍.

    I popped by Roy's Motel & Cafe as well. Pretty cool stop and right at the junction to drop down south into Twentynine Palms and Joshua Tree National Park, which is an amazing place and a must see...but not during the summer 🥵🥵🥵.

    I missed ALL the hot weather today, only reaching 80°F! 👍👍 Winning!!

    After a short lunch at a nearby McDonald's, I'm sitting in the hotel lobby waiting on my friend to arrive so she can check us in. She told the hotel to let me check in for her, but they don't have any record of it 🤦. Oh well.

    Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️

    Route 66 West Days 3 & 4

    Sep 25–27 in the United States 🌙 88 °F

    Three of us left a cloudy Gallup at 0800 Friday morning and almost immediately ran into rain again 😔. Fortunately, it wasn't too bad, and we popped out of it fairly quickly.

    Our first stop was in Holbrook to see the Wigwam Hotel (too cute!) and take a pic at the drive-through sign 👍. Then we swung by the "Here It Is" rabbit sign 🤣. And of course, when on Route 66, a visit to Glenn Frey on the corner in Winslow Arizona is a must 🧡. We stopped at one of the old bridges, then had lunch at 2 Bar 3 nearby, which was a really cool place with live music and a huge outdoor venue. But not while we were there, unfortunately 🤪.

    I split off from the guys after lunch because they were headed into Flagstaff with the rest of the rally riders. We don't have a rally dinner tonight, so my friends invited me to their home in Lake Havasu instead.

    There were 6 of us total, and we had a great time Friday evening and most of Saturday just hanging out and talking, the boys in the mancave and the girls in the backyard. There may have been some adult beverages and a swimming pool jacuzzi involved 🤪.

    Around 1500 Saturday, we drove about an hour to Kingman for the rally dinner. Again, we had a really nice time. One of the guys won a pair of Paul's Socks (inside joke), but there was no way he was going to fit his big ol' clogs in them, so I guess his wife has a new pair now 🤣.

    After bbq brisket, we drove back home and called it an early night as we're leaving before 0800 tomorrow morning.

    What a wonderful group of people!! 🤗🫶
