Three States a Day...

...keeps the boredom at bay.

I started in Oklahoma, and ran right into Amarillo, TX for a leg-stretching stop. It was here that I discovered the damage to my laptop, while eating a thoroughly disappointing lunch of ribs / mac-n-cheese. That's what I get for dining out, I guess. If I'd popped into a firehouse, the grub would surely have been tastier.

Texas flew by in a flash, but not before I spotted these bovines relaxing in a valley.

Just like that, I was in New Mexico, and more than halfway through my 500 mile day.


The next leg-stretching opportunity came just over the border at the High Plains Harley Davidson dealerhip in Clovis, NM. The staff here were friendlier than at any other dealership I've been to, and promised to plug my ride on their site. Hopefully, I'll get a few donations from the folks on Rt 60 or 70 or 84, whichever it is. By the way, the road south from Clovis - smoothest run yet, and puts the paving guys in Arkansas to shame!

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
