Thanks For Visiting

6/16/2017 – Summer is here and I’m off on another adventure. This time it’s a motorcycle trip through the northern US and Canada utilizing as little pavement as possible. I’ll have photos and stories to share along the way, so stay tuned here and @wanderingbybicycle on Instagram. Safe Travels!

After a few days along the coast at the Oregon Dunes National Rec Area, waiting for my tires to arrive (Shinko 244s), I headed back to Eugene through the Siuslaw and Smith River road system. This is a network of little used paved forest roads with lots of swimming holes and lots of shade. A perfect escape from this weekend's heat wave. #advrider #advlife #klr650 #exploreoregon Only two things keep a motorbike running - maintenance or luck. Under 2500 rpm the bike was skipping a bit, and a new spark plug was the cure. #motorcyclemaintenance #klr650 #adventurebike #adventureriding #diy I made it across the US, and have ridden a lot of dirt along the way, so its time for some maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. Oil changed, filters cleaned, bolts tightened, rack welded, and a new GPS installed. Some new tires and I'll be ready to go. #advrider #adventurebike #klr650 #overlanding #itsnotasbadasitlooks Rather than take the loop road through Craters of the Moon National Monument, I headed to the back country and created my own loop through the preserve. #adventurebike #adventureriding #klr650 #cratersofthemoon After a pavement detour out of Lander due to snow blocked roads, I joined the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route in Atlantic City and headed north. #adventureriding #greatdivide #klr650 #getoutandplay After a fuel stop in Newcastle WY, I linked up gravel roads across the Thunder Basin National Grassland towards Casper. Not much for shade along the way, but the views were great. #adventurebike #overlanding #klr650 #homeiswhereyoupitchit
