IT IS NOT ABOUT THE BIKE "Jy gaan nog daai trip doen?" Het sy gevra en met haar geswelde vingers in my rigting gewys. Ek het net kop geknik, geglimlag en geantwoord "Ja Sussa ek gaan hom doen…." Dit was 2014. Twee maande later het die kanker haar kom haal. Nou is dit twee dae voordat ek by my...

Gomgatte. Jy kry hulle oral. Ek stop in Bartow en gooi petrol in. …………… Ek betaal en ry net oor die pad en stop in die koelte voor die plaaslike hardeware/ drank/laundromat/video-winkel. Een van daai alles-in-een-winkels wat mens op die platteland kry. Daar waar jy nog 'n Okapi knipmes sal kan...

We've got Bears...... Hierdie woorde het ek 'n hele paar keer al op hierdie trip van my gehoor. Maar dit word nie net gesê nie. Dit gaan gewoonlik met 'n hele ritueel gepaard. Ek staan en gesels met Steve en Kate langs ' n pragtige meer in die Michaux-bos in Pennsylvania. Op die klein skermpie...

“God’s Business” Ek ry vandag tussen Pittsburgh en Staunton. In een van die voorstede vang my oog die elektroniese advertensiebord wat lees” “Go Steelers”. Die Steelers is Pittburgh se NFL span so dit is per se nie snaaks nie. Wat wel vir my snaaks is, is waar die advertensie geplaas word. Ek...

Genade Chris jy kyk na baie detail !! :)Moes nou in-zoom, en ja, dit lyk of the slot ondersebo is!

“Filter of Plain?” Dit maak nie saak waar jy jou Café Latte bestel nie. Of dit nou by Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts, McDonalds of hier in die Hoodsport Coffee Company is. Die bestelling is nooit net ‘n “Café Latte” nie. Dit is maar net die begin. Dan volg die vrae. Watse tipe koffie? Katjieng...

Day13: Marshall to Minneapolis (Continued...) It feels weird to ride in a car again after almost two weeks on a bike. Manny’s Steakhouse is a hive of activity (meaning it is loud, not uncivilized, but loud nonetheless). The food portions that are on display are HUGE! Manny clearly did not...

Wow, thanks for digging into the history, Chris!

“Baai-baai Bokkie” Elke aand het ek ‘n vaste ritueel. Enige toer het ‘n ritueel. Indien jy nie ‘n vaste ritueel het nie veroorsaak dit net frustrasie. Of miskien pla dit jou nie. Vir my pla dit wel. My ritueel begin deur seker te maak die fiets se tenk is vol petrol voordat ek by my slaapplek...

Day11: Deadwood to Pierre Route: 385 to 16 (Keystone), 244 to Mt Rushmore. Today I will experience the last of the places on my “To See” list, Mt Rushmore. I’m not sure when exactly my fascination with Mt Rushmore started. I’m sure it featured in one of the trailers that I used to see in the...

(Day 10: Continued: Sturgis to Deadwood) In one of our discussions with a fellow biker along the way we confuse the towns of “Spearfish” and “Deadwood” and say that we plan to stay over in “Deadfish”. He laughs at us and corrects us. “Great place nonetheless”, he adds. As we ride into...
