Brady: We've dodged the drought for a time I think -- just enough rain to let the farmers here breathe a bit.

Riding in the rain of late hasn't been a mental issue. I just am not too worried about it this summer.

Thanks Steve, I hope to visit sometime over the next few weeks so you'll probably not have your post ready by then, but no problem. I'm sure I'll want to visit again.

All the best and keep writing!

Derek.

Steve, these days in Kansas I would pay good money for the threat of rain. Any weather that encouraged riding, actually.

Derek: Central Pennsylvania has hundreds, if not thousands, of miles of incredible roads for riding. Most know the classic main routes like US Route 6 but it pales in comparison to some of the more obscure ones.

I've been working on a post for a long time about this very subject. When are you coming this way? I'll try and finish before your trip so you'll have time to think about them.

Dear Mr. Riepe: You just have a way of bringing the best out in people. I wonder if they realize what kind of gift you are bring them?

bobskoot: Your description of the wind and the road and being one with the experience is something I have carried with me since I first watched “Then Came Bronson” back in 1968. I knew then there was something special about traveling by motorcycle…

David Masse: Thank you for the kind words about my writing. It remains something I practice in hopes of being able to clearly communicate what’s sometimes in my head. I feel more comfortable with a camera…

Choices — just having them, riding or otherwise, is a luxury. Not sure everyone appreciates that. You illustrate it well!

Steve, I’ve been reading your blog for awhile now and would love your recommendations on some great riding roads in Pennsylvania. i will be coming down from Montreal and would appreciate a few ideas for routes (scenic, non-highway if possible) that might take a few relaxing days. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Derek.

Dear Steve:

I was lost in New England once, someplace in the bowels of New Hampshire. A sign indicated that Brattlesham was either to the left or the right of a fork.

I asked a lurking farmer, "Does it make any difference which way I go to Brattleshanm?"

His response was, "Not to me."

Rides are sometimes like that.

Fondest regards,
