#watching Ride or Die about the #NW200. I don't have a motorcycle license nor any wish to ride at the kind of speeds these guys and girls ride at but films like this, as with TT3D: Closer To The Edge, are strangely compelling. #Motorcycling

BBC iPlayerRide or DieThree motorcycle road racers prepare for the North West 200, the fastest and most dangerous of races. They ask whether they are risking death, testing faith or truly living?

#Introduction

I’m in #infosec. I currently live in #NovaScotia but moving to #BritishColumbia this summer.

I have many dogs. They’re all small, one so small she only has three legs. She was injured before we got her out of the Texas rescue system. I learned these doggos are called #tripawds which I think is very clever.

My main “hobby” is #motorcycling. I currently have a Vulcan Nomad 1700.

I have worked remotely from my house for almost a decade. The life balance can’t be beat.

I have a nine day long break coming up at the end of April / bringing of May. Going to take the motorcycle out on a 1500 mile loop through Appalachia, calling asking the way and hoping to hit some of the famous mountain roads in Tennessee and North Carolina. Getting excited planning this trip. Tentative itinerary:

Day 1: leave from Northeast Ohio, make camp in Point Pleasant, WV where I'll visit the Mothman museum.

Day 2: Point Pleasant to a campground on the banks of the Red River in the Red River Gorge area. Ride through Nada tunnel and tour the gorge.

Day 3: across Kentucky and ride the Kentucky Rattlesnake (KY-192) to the KY/TN border.

Day 4: head south and catch the Cherohala Skyway into Robbinsville, NC. Possibly run the Tail of the Dragon, depending on arrival time.

Day 5: ride the Tail if I didn't get to the previous day. Head east, catch pay off the Blue Ridge Parkway until exciting and riding the Devil's Whip (NC 80).

Day 6: slowly explore the Blue Ridge Parkway, making camp somewhere near the North Carolina / Virginia border.

Day 7: the Virginia leg of the BRP.

Day 8: BRP to Blackwater Falls, WV. Visit several waterfalls in the area for photos and hiking.

Day 9: US 250 through Southern Ohio to New Philadelphia and then home.

This will be the longest loop I've done on the bike and a great chance to test all the tweaks I've made to the camping setup, as I'll be making and breaking camp every day. Super excited to get out there and explore again. Going to do my best to ignore politics and current events that entire nine days and just recharge.
