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!

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 Another summer = another adventure. This time it's exploring the dirt routes of the US and Canada by motorcycle. I love picking a point and finding an off the beaten track to get there, and this track to Newcastle Wyoming hasn't been beat in quite a while. #adventurebike #klr650 #explorethewest #offthebeatenpath
