The Rest of the Story…
My last post was about the world-record-setting-ride that I participated in last weekend. Just in case you didn’t see it, 1433 women motorcyclists riding together in a group. It was the ultimate high to be a part of that. But there’s so much more. This was the first time I undertook a long ride on my own. I’ve done a lot of weekend and week-long rides with friends and my husband for the last 45 years. I’ve done a lot of business travel on my own in my career as well. This

Farm 2 Down
Back home from doing our second farm. Things were vastly different. Values. Beliefs. Convictions. Household. I very much enjoy working on the farms. Learning hands on is one of the best ways for me to learn. The families, communities and environments are so vastly different. I can see that already just with 2 farms under my belt. Been welcomed into homes of some of the hardest working Americans I have ever met. I enjoy the different cultures and the people I am meeting. So mu

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. You often see it with stones. It's a beautiful craft and I had fun learning about it and sharing it with other people. In my class we formed wire into words, using other wire and beads to create small pieces of art. I design my classes to be fairly open in terms of design options. I want to se

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
