History Was Made Today
And I am so honored and grateful to have been a part of it. I’ve spent the last three days at GYGO2026 (a gathering of women motorcyclists named Get Your Groove On). This was an amazing event put on by the Midwest Women Riders NFP. The culmination of the event was an attempt to break the world record for the most women riders on the road together previously held by Australia. The women showed up. We broke the record and it was verified by Atlas. We had 1433 women riding

Unexpected Changes
Life has an interesting way of directing you in ways you hadn’t planned on going. One minute you think you have a plan figured out, then suddenly something happens and POOF, you’re doing an unexpected left turn and headed in a new direction. As we plan for the future of Clearview Works, “Chick and Alice”, and the 50 state ride, we have experienced this more than people can imagine. Pivoting on plans, ideas, and what direction to go is something that has happened a lot as we c

Whimsy
I taught a wire wrapping class tonight at work today. Wire wrapping is when you take crafting wire and manipulate it into a shape to make jewelry and decorations and other kinds of art.

Tripp
I guess it’s time to come out. I’ve been riding motorcycles since 1980. I’ve had many different bikes in that time. Never...have I ever…named a single one of them, including the one I’m currently riding. I learned on and initially rode for awhile a 1972 Triumph Bonneville that belonged to my second husband. Kick start, shift on right side, brake on left. I didn’t ride it a lot because it was fraught with electrical problems, typical of that model and era. It seemed I ten

Naughty Love Letter to Scarlett
Dear Scarlett, I have only had the pleasure of knowing you for a few short months. I wasn’t exactly impressed with your Heritage or your color combination when I walked past you. Knowing where you claim to come from but I have had my hands on your kind before. I know better. There is a little bit of everyone in your Heritage. Yet, the man trying to find me the perfect suitor was failing miserably. Wasn’t pleased with any of the suitors. Like Goldie Locks in the woods. Somethi

REALLY?
What’s with all the questions and doubt? It seems everyone has an opinion and judgments are flying in from all corners. Quite frankly, I am getting really tired of it. Ok, this is going to be a rant…hopefully I get to something constructive by the end of this post. I am emerging from my own personal hell of the last four years and it seems that others have taken on a vested interest in how I’m supposed to do that. Yes, I’m struggling to regain myself in almost every way. Ye
