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.

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 👍. They even have a porta potty!! Winning!! 🤣

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

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!!

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

Vermont Is Sooooo Slow 🤦
7 oktober, Verenigde Staten ☀️ 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!!

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.

Traffic & More Traffic
9 oktober, Verenigde Staten ☁️ 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!!

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

Shelter From the Storm
10 oktober, Verenigde Staten ☁️ 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 🤞🤞🤞.

Last Capitol Building 💪👍🤗
11 oktober, Verenigde Staten 🌙 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!!

Columbia to Hickory
12 oktober, Verenigde Staten ☀️ 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!!

160,000-Mile Service
13 oktober, Verenigde Staten ☀️ 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.]Meer informatie

Ride Home HOG Touring Rally Check In
14 oktober, Verenigde Staten ☀️ 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 🤔🤞.

Ride Home - Day 1
15 oktober, Verenigde Staten 🌙 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 - Day 5 The End
19 oktober, Verenigde Staten ⛅ 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!! 🧡

Lap of the 48 Complete (For Real This Time)
20 oktober, Verenigde Staten ☀️ 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. 🤞🤞🤞

I-75 End to End, then Key West
22 oktober, Verenigde Staten 🌙 81 °F

Well, I didn't think I could, but I did! I just rode from Sault Ste Marie MI to Miami FL via I-75 in less than 34 hours!!! I did the first 1,337 miles in 18 hours 😱, my longest mileage day ever 💪. I had to creatively navigate terrible traffic in Detroit, Cincinnati, Chattanooga, Atlanta, Tampa, and Naples, but here I am!!

And tonight I spent with friends in Key West. It's Fantasy Fest week again; I was here in 2019 and still love it! I hate to leave in the morning, but I have service, so 😔. And yes, it's 2030 and I'm in bed 😔. Long ride.

Pics:
- Map: The last 48 hours of my ride
- Dark: Day 1 of my I-75 End to End ride
- Light: Day 2 of it (Trip A total, but the time is wrong, as in the amount of time it took, because it didn't count my sleep stop last night.)
- Vietnam Veterans Memorial
- Dante's Restaurant & Pool Bar annual Halos & Horns Pool Party
- My friend I haven't seen in years ♥️
- The guy we couldn't remember watching over us while we peed (David Cassidy, Patridge Family) (Also witnessing were Arnold Swartzeneggar, Tom Selleck, Andy Gibbs, Lief Erickson, and (oh myyy yes please) Patrick Swayze ♥️) it was a great bathroom

What an absolutely wonderful, relaxing, soothing hotel stay last night. Wow. I really didn't want to leave, but finally rolled around 1030 this morning, heading up to Jacksonville.

I got really lucky in Jacksonville picking up my last Tour of Honor photo. It was just outside of the Jacksonville Jaguars football stadium, but apparently they didn't have a game today. Not sure I would've been able to get it if they had been playing. It's an eternal flame and a very nice memorial to all the vets from the county.

My goal today was to make it to Panama City Beach to return the Hoka Hey's Akichita, the moose shed I've been carrying since my big finish. It's been an honor to carry it. I passed it back to Big John and am staying at Crazy One Eyed Biker's spare apartment this evening. Unfortunately, he's out of town. It would have been really cool to hang out with him but I truly appreciate the digs for the night.

P.S.: I finished my Tour of Honor challenge today with 304 points for the year, which should land me 3rd place. Cool.Meer informatie

Today was all interstate, and except for the semis and a couple of cars trying to squish me, it was a decent ride. The weather was perfect, which helped.

Best of all...I get to sleep in my own place tonight 🤗!!! Michael is completely unloaded 😱. I still have some riding to do around the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex, but it should only take a day. I'm almost done with the ride which makes me happy and sad at the same time.

Happy that I get a long rest. Sad that I have to adult now. For example, my shower doesn't put out any water even though everything else does 🤔. I'll figure that out in the morning. But for now, I'm kicking back on my futon/bed in actual pajamas 😱.

P.S.: I finished my Ride To Eat challenge today with 581 points for the year. I've won the past three quarters. Let's see if that's enough to win the grand prize 🤞.

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

Michael is Resting 🤣
29 oktober, Verenigde Staten ☁️ 77 °F
Despite having a couple of days off the bike, Michael demanded that I take him into the shop to get a quote for fixing the damage caused by the hit-and-run semi in September.

Unfortunately, I had to leave him, so I jumped on my El Diablo, named Luci (short for Lucifer) for the first time since last year. She's been at Lone Star Harley-Davidson since 12 February. They've kept her on a trickle charger, but she doesn't like to start. Her electrical issues make me very sad because I can't trust her any longer, which is how I wound up with Michael as a substitute, which has really turned into more of a replacement.

Anyway, I was hoping to run back to the barn, empty Luci out, then toss an overnight bag on her and take off to finish my last three challenges. Not to be, though. She has my old GPS power mount, and I discovered it was so dead and so out of date that it wouldn't load the routes I need for this run.

So now I'm sitting comfortably in my little RV updating both GPS and both laptops, which is taking hours upon hours 😭.

I'll take off in the morning.

It's fun being back on her, but I've gotten very comfortable with floor boards and she only has forward control pegs. I almost crashed myself trying to stand up to go over railroad tracks 🤣.

P.S.: I've unpacked everything and I seem to have lost my real camera along the way 😭.

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

Part 2 of 2 - MCGTTX Complete!
31 oktober, Verenigde Staten ☁️ 72 °F
Yesterday, I went to the wrong place for my 50th and final Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas stop, so I had to backtrack about 30 miles this morning to complete that challenge. Worth it!! 💪

The rest of the day was just keeping to the route. I had about 15 miles of unpaved country roads, but I was expecting them. They turned out to be well maintained, so it wasn't really a problem.

The loop finishes the State of Texas for AULDR and puts me at 1094 points 😱. Will I let it stay under 1100 when I'm so close? 🤔

Unfortunately, Luci is up to her old tricks again and threw some codes at me about 25 miles from home. BCM codes again, just like normal. And Harley says there's nothing wrong. I left her running while I opened the garage door and when I came back she was dead 🤬. Yeah, sure thing, nothing wrong with it at all, Harley. 💋 MY 🫏

ReizigerSorry Lucy is still acting up. Electrical problems can be so hard to fix. Bessie would throw a check engine light on and go into limp mode at random times for 10 years. Would always wonder when it was going to happen, especially when passing a long line of vehicles. Durango H-D finally found a broken wire by the throttle body and repaired it. No problems since. Enjoy a little down time and be safe.

Nancy Webb...Pat Bonetar😱 10 years. So glad they finally found the cause. Thanks, buddy. It's nice being in my own bed for a while.
