2013 Ride -Day 1-Orange to Winslow

Orange California – Winslow Arizona – 554 miles In August of 2009, I took my first “big ride,” two weeks on a motorcycle, 2400 miles, the scariest road I’ve been on even to this day, and by far, the most intense storm. It was… amazing. If you’re bored sometime, check it out. Every now and…
