Another State, Another Time Zone

Roswell to Tuscon was a hard piece of road, with 100+ degree rays over 500 miles. But, New Mexico proved to be the most beautiful country I've ridden through yet. The day started with a gently twisting two lane blacktop through the mountains, and culminated with another jaunt through the valleys and canyons of Arizona.







The middle part sucked. The desert is brutally hot, and especially torturous is the perfectly straight, perfectly flat, perfectly mind numbing stretch though the White Sands missle range. That half hour felt like a day.

One thing I didn't account for was that crossing time zones would give me three 25 hour days on the way out to California. That's great for staying on schedule, but now I'm 3 hours behind from my "bike lag".

One more of AZ's crags for the road...

Motorcycling for Ovarian Cancer Awareness

This summer, I’m riding my Harley across the country and back in 16 days. I’ll be stopping at firehouses along the way to promote awareness about ovarian cancer, because everyone should know the symptoms. While the fire department is a field dominated by men, we have mothers, wives, daughters, girlfriends, and sisters.

I’m asking you to support my journey by donating to the HERA Women's Cancer Foundation. My goal is to raise $6000 for HERA’s mission, a dollar for every mile I ride. They have set up a webpage for me where you can make a tax-deductible donation. HERA is not supporting my journey financially. All of the proceeds that HERA receives will go directly towards their mission. Through a combination of corporate sponsorship and my own funds, I will cover the expenses associated with my journey.

To find out more about HERA and their efforts to stop the loss of women from ovarian cancer, visit their website, www.herafoundation.org
