Being on the road again reminds me of how little I need. Leaving the big beautiful house I just mortgaged my life to and heading out with my trailer and my dogs is a good grounding experience. I'm happy with a bed, my phone and coffee, with my dogs content to be near me.
I don't need much and I don't need one person. I need people. Lots of people. Every person I meet offers me something, a lesson, an open door and a smile, a big hug from Dad and Dar, some do extraordinary things for me, some show up when I'm sad or angry or lonely. It's people I need, in between my retreats into quiet and school.
I'm headed to see my sister who I'm just getting to know. I'm blessed that I can. Love all your people as best you can. And watch out for the lessons on the road!

There's something about traveling alone. I do like sharing my life and on occasion I would like a companion but to be honest my companions of the past were not assets. Except for the kids and dogs! I like peace, I like depending on myself and I like not being scared of pi***ng off a baby man.

a beautiful park road in Georgia with all the fall colors! There's also a good example of why its best not to ride super fast around blind corners! This little road was a highlight of my day.

Gorgeous road near Helen Georgia

This trip is about corner mechanics. Yes I rode 5 hours into a gorgeous place in order to practice, why not? After all, I have a motorcycle. Every corner I took today I concentrated on speed into corner, turn in point, apex, throttle out when exit is visible. Over and over and over again. I worked on late turn ins, and pushing the apex out and smooth smooth input baby. What a day. glorious.

Made it to beautiful Helen Georgia! The fall colors are everything I was hoping for and more. I've got a room in a divey motel with good towels and a bathtub that holds water. I had a good ride up here, 5 hours on a perfect route created by my roomie Frank. You want a good route? Just ask Frank! Pics later, hot water and food are next.

Longest day of riding yesterday since I got to Alabama. I'm usually preoccupied with how my lines are or when I turn in, body position etc. but late last night while I iced my aching hip I realized that I'd done dozens of intersections, all with their own unique hazards, negotiated fast multi-lane highways with traffic at speed, did u-turns, abrupt turns, stops and starts, and navigated there and back without dropping the bike or falling the f* off. These things are important. Remember to give yourself credit! It's not all about the twisties.

Rode out to Little River Canyon Tuesday. Gorgeous place, amazing road with good twisties. But because of the wah they maintain the road there's this blueish fine gravel on some corners that's hard to see. As I happily turned into the 1st corner I hit that gravel and drifted across the lane. It was a new experience for me and I have to say, I didn't like it. Gorgeous place, still a great place to ride but watch out for that!
