Another Myrtle Beach weekend get away. Two wheeled wind therapy, sun, sand, and sea. From sunrise runs, riding motorcycles, pull up competitions, leaving our marks with chalk, and much laughter! Great time with awesome friends. Thank you God for a wonderful safe weekend!

Mabry Mill & Lover’s Leap

BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY, VA

Mabry Mill (Milepost 176.2 of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd County, VA) is one of the most photographed places on the parkway. We stopped by to take ours and we also got a photo at Lover’s Leap ( Scenic Overlook in Meadows of Dan, VA). Never really rode too much in Virginia but we will return. Sooooo many gorgeous places to ride at our door step!

We Say Good Bye

Gene Curtis McConnell

Remembering Gene Curtis McConnell (Papa Gene)... July 15, 1935 ~ October 13, 2021

Thank you to everyone for your patience, support, kind words and prayers during the past few months, as my Daddy’s health declined.

He left this earth October 13, 2021 just after midnight. It’s so sad when we lose loved ones, but it’s a blessing to know that he’s no longer confused from dementia and it’s a special blessing to know that he met Jesus that morning.

He joined the US Army in February of 1955 and served in the Army Security Agency. His time in the military took him near and far (from Virginia to Greece, Japan and Turkey). His Army buddies became family and remained family until the day he passed.

When I was 11, he took me to get my first motorcycle and he taught me to ride. Of course I was addicted to motorcycles immediately! I also have great memories of helping him in his shop when I was a teenager, learning to sand, tape, prime and paint cars. I’m thinking I must have inherited his attention to details because y’all know I’m anal about the details in my drawings and tattoos.

He was always a hard worker, had a great sense of humor and will truly be missed. I was blessed to have him as my Daddy.

Rest in peace Papa Gene! Sincerely, Angela Wolfe

RIDE’S LIGHT

I know I can be silly, and yes, I like to smile... I have tried to do my best while riding through life’s miles. Sometimes there are bumps in road, pounding on my soul... In life, I’ve learned to watch for them, and lean around those holes... It’s my hope to live to ride, taking in the view... Running over my life’s demons, so they number few... Looking in my mirror, I’ve survived the past, with nothing but good roads ahead, I know Hope’s fuel will last...
