That was truly epic Sterling. When I was in the Army they encouraged us to exercise our rights to visit East Berlin. Likewise thanks for encouraging us to exercise our rights to make sure our great back roads and open areas remain free and accessible. You are the modern Moto patriot if you don’t mind me saying. Peace brother! 🛤🏜🌵⛺️🦦🏞
Thank you! The freedom to access and use our public lands is important to me, as is the responsibility to take care of them and preserve them. You can't have freedom without responsibility.
The spirit of adventure is what drives us. The thrill of new vistas, the silence and solitude, the emotions, the revelations all spawned by our journey. I ride a Harley, too fat for all but the laziest of roads. I camp like a vagabond, pitching shelter, primitive and simply. I have a destination and path in mind… but it often changes. Curiosity, and a paper map, often guide my aimless venture. Embracing what comes, I quietly learn to enjoy my folly, whether its grand or mild, and in doing so I live life like a King, incognito and anonymously, famously. Thanks Sterling! I hope one day to meet.
I’m now the proud Owner of my first Adventure bike because of you. Absolutely loved the “Riding Solo” videos. I learned so much. Extremely well done. 👏🏽
Firebox - hammocks - BMW GS - Riding the west - Been there done that. Gotta love it. Thanks for making the effort - You've got way more patients than I'll ever have for having documented such a trip...
I enjoyed this series. Anyone who’s made a ride video will appreciate how much time goes into something like this. A shot of you riding by involves spotting the location, setting up the camera, going back then riding by, then coming back to get the camera. A 3 second shot could take 15 minutes or more to make. I also appreciate the pacing and work to give us a flavor of your experience - the quiet moments at camp, the fun of cooking a good meal, the challenges of weather and bikes down. I think something I learned from this is that camp meals can be more than rehydrated food. Obviously that takes time, planning and weight to make happen, but it’s something I would like to try (so far I’ve just done “ultralight” adventuring with minimal gear). I will also check out revver - looks like a cool way to plan an adventure. Thank you for taking the time to put this series together.
i am from the UK and watching you riding solo on theas back roads has rely opend my eyes not only to the USA but also back roads of UK and beyond .thank you for sharing your journey with us .
I have been addicted to this series!! Thanks so much for the adventure. I'm looking at doing a similar trip, although not as long and down from the north as I am here in northern Alberta, Canada. Looking forward to watching your next trip!
What wonderful video, bringing some calm and peace into a hellish, twisted country filled with hate and distrust. I will visit the places you have shown me much different than my home. Thank you ,regards, James.
Made my first big road trip from Cali to Houston this past fall and the ending with the sunset brought back so many good memories from that trip. Thank you.
Kia ora from New Zealand. Really enjoyed this whole series and now I have an overwhelming urge to cook a steak on a firebox, drink a beer from a 32oz hydro flask and sit on a tiny chair. Not sure my Suzuki DR650 can carry a table as well but I'll give it a try! Great work sir!
Sterling. This series has keep me going here in the UK. COVID-19 lockdown has been hard on us all. Also Europe is calling out for me once restrictions have lifted 6000miles is a struggle here on an island 😂. Keep them coming they are great to watch 🎥👍🏻
Truly an epic account of a way of traveling , that few people really understand. If it was easy , everyone would do it. The roughing it increases the sense of accomplishment! Stepping back increases your view! Thank you
Hi sterling. What a fantastic series. Well edited Lovely scenery and interesting stories. Thoroughly enjoyed All. Thank you for taking us with you. Old dave (Sunderland. England) stay safe.
This wonderful video brought to mind when needed, but didn’t some trips I have taken. By the time that last day rolls around, I hopped on the bike, buckled my chin strap, and rode straight home. Stopped for gas and used a rest room when needed, but didn’t stop for meals, and definitely did not stop to see sights or take pictures. Sterling, on the other hand, took his time and soaked it all in. He shared his inner thoughts and his perspective, and spoke about things he likes. That, along with wondrous cinematography, made this episode stand out. I tip my hat to you, sir! Be well, and be safe.
I have to say I really admire your life philosophy and your life style. Not only is your photography and video work outstanding, but your choice of what to film and where to ride is spectacular. Obviously you are an experienced motorcycle camper, but to me your level of organization and gear selection is amazing. What a nice perspective you have. Thanks for sharing your rides.
I've followed this series from the beginning, and have been really impressed with all your photography and comments along way. Well done Sterling, I took my first journey ride this summer and this series has given me more fuel to do more!! Looking forward to your next series.
I’m with you on the old buildings and poking around. I’m always a little sad because it just seems like this was someone’s dream at some point. Enjoy your work! Keep it up!
Sterling, well done my friend. Love to ride, but with the lockdown and winter I am note able to hit the road. The series was just what the Doctor ordered. Ride safe!
What a great journey! As a European tourist I have seen quite a bit of the USA, but watching your series made me want to do the same trip! What stunning views and places you have shown us. I hope I will be able to ride the same tracks. Thanks for sharing and my compliments on the way you have shot the scenes and edited it all to a very professional and enjoyable series. Best regards Norman from Holland
I have to say what a wonderful series I so much enjoyed it, I am from the UK currently everything here is lock down since Xmas, the series inspired me to be free almost I was riding with you, America is so vast and so beautiful, I loved the coloured rocks in the Rockys, I loved the wildlife filming particually the family of skunks, I never seen them before, I spent over 40 yrs motorcyling in Europe, I did Daytona and most of Florida, my biggest trip was to motorcycle New Zealand north and south island, my biggest love was Scotland great mountains and places, I had to stop riding at 63 with diabetis and had to have my left foot amputated its been such a tough year, 2 of my sons followed my motorcycle adventures, my youngest son is a big wild camping fan and just purchased the Firebox and table you use, the best series I have watched great filming and thank you so much for providing such a great trip, waiting for your next best wishes John
Thank you for the comment John. So sorry to hear about your tough times recently but glad to know you found some enjoyment in the videos. Also good to hear that your boys are into exploring wild places and camping. Take care and I hope to continue giving you some comfort through more videos to come in the hard times!
I truly ENJOYED this entire series ...... AWESOME job showing us all the "hidden" beauty that we often just take for granted, in our everyday, busy lives !!!! "Thank you" .....
Thank you Sterling for this wonderful presentation - a life long motorcyclist, and fellow BMW enthusiast I cannot begin to tell you how it served to rekindle my passion and enthusiasm for our two-wheeled adventure. On our next weekend getaway with our riding group, we'll stay in Bisbee. There's a lovely motel there owned by a kind gentleman and his wife who share our love of motorcycle travel. I look forward to following your channel and have already shared it with many friends. Safe journey, friend.
I've really enjoyed this series Sterling. I appreciate the time and effort you made to turn it into this great documentary, it's been a great ride! Thanks for sharing your adventures and i'm ready for the next one
Spent several years testing Army equipment at Fort Huachuca and visited Bisbee many times. Had breakfast at the Copper Queen. Watched most of your videos about solo travel. Great videos, thanks for sharing.
Get onto advrider.com, read up on your many choices, see what others have experienced. There are areas just for new gals & guys. There are areas just about the various gear from bikes to clothing to luggage, to camping, tools, etc. There's a lot of advice there from riders of all levels & types.
Thoroughly wanted to thank you for being us along. Tomorrow I pick up two 2022 new KLR Adventure bikes for my wife and I so we can enter the adventure world. Again thank you sir.
Excellent Sterling. Around episode 3, I encouraged my wife to watch this entire series with me. Thank you my friend for this excellent production. It’s given her an understanding of the peace, joy, challenges, perseverance, calculated risks, and sense of accomplishment that we enjoy from solo expeditions. Very well done. Alan
Thanks a lot Sterling for taking the time to capture your trip on video for us. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this series and you’ve definitely piqued my interest in this style of riding and camping.
Sterling, thank you for sharing this adventure with us. Your videography,, photography, and storytelling skills are amazing. Your camp cooking ain't too shabby either. I'm sad to see this series come to an end.
Thank you Sterling. I’m a GS rider and love the big and small adventures too. Great filming and stories. Thanks for the effort, and look forward to more.
I know I'm late in the game to this but I've been considering a Moto camping trip to Montana this summer to fly fish and explore the beauty of the Northwest. While researching I came across your channel. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to film, edit and share your trip. I can only imagine how labor intensive it must be to set up those shots, use the drone, etc, and then, face the daunting task of editing all your footage, overlaying with music, etc. Your hard work shows in your inspiring videos. To me your videos are also tutorials in which you share some awesome knowledge and tips that I will certainly use on my adventure. Thank you again sir, I'm looking forward to exploring the rest of your channel!
I will finish a ground up rebuild restoration of a 2005 KLR650 this weekend... my first taste of adventure riding. I am inspired by your videos, and thank you for taking the time to share mate. Fantastic content with plenty of practical information. Thanks again 🇦🇺👍🏻
Hey Sterling this has been a great series. There are plenty of series about this kind of riding but yours stands out for your great photography and your laid-back, relaxing commentary - so many of us have taken a lot of comfort during trying times from watching your videos. Thank you sir for doing this! I think I may just replay them all marathon-style over the next couple of days to be sure I didn't fail to hit "like" on any of them.
lately ive started following your channel and watching almost all your videos, and i must say you r the best story teller and the filmmaker as a motorcyclist, you are an inspiration for this genres. Hats off sir, and much love from India, wish to do ride together some day :)
Really enjoyed the series, very relaxing & beautiful landscapes. Thank you for making an epic travel documentary. I cannot imagine traveling these distances on my motorcycle but it's great to see how it can be done. 👍
What a rich experience as the viewer to be able to adventure virtually with you. Really cool to be able to binge the series in a few days, some advantage to waiting for the weekly updates on “live” adventures. Thanks for your service to the adv community.
sleepness night, that happens from time to time...lucky enough to get on your channel and traveled the rest of my night. we met once in Beesbee while passing by on my Harley. I've been living on the bike for the past two years, meandering the North American landscape. My big rig doesn't allow me too many dirt roads...unfortunately. Time to change I guess and go for a dual-sport....Thank you Sterling for the journey. I will stop By soon at the motel..
Sterling, you really have the eye for what looks fantastic on film . Your videos are such high quality and great sound tracks too . Really enjoy your work. Great job oh and u make me hungry cooking up lovely meals too . Looking forward to when we are allowed to go out motorcycle camping again.
Really "top flight" adventure motorcycle series. I would pay to learn how to film like that. I'm a GS owner we are lucky to have people out traveling and filming. This is the best of all I've seen. Thanks for filming this Sterling.
I rode some of the roads you filmed, and want to get out there again asap. The plan was to be out west one year ago, but that went out the window with covid. Hope it can happen this summer. Thank you, Sterling, for these great videos. Your skill with cameras and software is admirable.
How random, I just happened to pick Pie Town as a destination for my next solo moto camping trip a couple weeks ago, and then today I discovered your channel and saw this video! I’m also a van camper who has a Chevy Express. Great channel man, keep up the good work!
8:53 on Episode 16 with the drone footage - BEST EVER - the images and the music - Great job = looked forward to every episode from your trip - inspiring
It’s always a little sad when a great adventure comes to a close, and no inconveniences took place. Thank you so very much for the visual tour of your adventure. Looking forward for the next one!
Amazing series. Beats finding something on Netflix! Also made me up my game in terms of camping gear and stuff I need to buy for my motorcycle-adventures in the coming summer, THANK YOU ! :)
I've greatly enjoyed these videos. The relaxed pace mirrors my adventure riding style and aspirations. Mostly, I enjoy watching your videos and pretending that I still live in a free country. That feeling is now a rare commodity. Your beautiful videos are making it very difficult for me not to strap my waterproof bags on my bike and point it southwest.
Sterling, I watched all 23 episodes and really enjoyed your ride. Opened my eyes to expand my own rides to include backroads and remote camping. Great job!
Because of your videos. I bought a firebox stove and am committing to cooking more “real” meals next year on my trips instead of the “just add water” meals
Really, it's not like it's at all hard to do. If you want to go up a level more, get yourself a food dehydrator, or learn to do it in any oven. I've been doing that for decades. No salt-overkilled packaged crap goes into me. I bring homemade "just add water" meals that are delicious and healthy, because I control what's in them.
Great series! Awesome work. As a lifelong amateur photog and occasional filmer, I appreciated all the detail shots you did. Definitely something I try to do and go lots of inspiration from your edits. You've inspired me to get out more with my new (last year) dual sport and film. I bet its so much easier doing it solo and not having to worry about holding anyone back so you can take your shots. Keep it up!
I can’t thank you enough for these great videos and your philosophy of biking. On the Navajo’s. I don’t think they chose their place to live entirely out of free will.
Thanks Sterling, I really enjoyed your interesting perspective. Your laid back style and down to earth style is appreciated in today’s world. Enjoy being back home....but we’re all waiting for you to leave!
Thank you for putting this together. It was a joy to watch and an inspirational way to take advantage of the wild ride that 2020 has been. An amazing trip. Thanks again for sharing it.
Hey Stirling, Thank you for putting in the time and effort to make this series. It is inspiring and you have given me some great ideas and a new perspective on what adventure riding can be. Keep on making great content. I love all of it.
Awesome series! One episode randomly popped-up in my suggested videos. A few minutes in I knew I had to go back and watch from the start, so I did. Thoroughly enjoyed every episode! Wonderful editing, cinematography, music selections, random tidbits of information, and watching all the great camp-side meals you made. Thanks for sharing the experience!
Thank you Sterling for letting us come along on this fantastic voyage. Right from the first episode I was hooked on the type of terrain and roads you were seeking out. I ride a 1200 GS, and like twisty paved back roads and meandering FS roads. In an earlier episode you spoke about having the right tool for the job, and I completely agree with you. I grew up racing motocross and riding in the dirt, so I know what a light weight and powerful dirt bike will do, and always feel like I'm beating my head with a brick when the GS gets in knarly terrain and I think just how hard I'm having to work, and realize there are just better tools for that job. Hope to meet you some day down the road.
Thanks for this series!! I know longer have a motorcycle, but i fell that you have rekindled that fire in me . Stay safe out there and welcome back home to Arizona.
Thanks for sharing your adventures! So fun to follow you. Back in 1988 I strayed in Bisbee Az for a week for a bicycle race called “Tour of The Future” fond momories of your home there. Again thanks for taking us along!
Thank you Sterling! Awesome. Can't believe the amount of energy and time you have to put into this to bring us this type of experience. Looking forward to so much more.
Rarely do I feel the need to give my drop of a comment in the internet sea, but this was an incredible series. Thanks Sterling. It’s definitely energized my mojo. Time to get out and RIDE.

I'd like to thank you for the series. I've been watching it "religiously" as it brought so much needed tranquility. Such a simple, but awesome form.
Amen t' that Bro 👍
It's been a fantastic series, beautiful to watch, beautifully made. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your journey.
O
That was truly epic Sterling. When I was in the Army they encouraged us to exercise our rights to visit East Berlin. Likewise thanks for encouraging us to exercise our rights to make sure our great back roads and open areas remain free and accessible. You are the modern Moto patriot if you don’t mind me saying. Peace brother! 🛤🏜🌵⛺️🦦🏞
Thank you! The freedom to access and use our public lands is important to me, as is the responsibility to take care of them and preserve them. You can't have freedom without responsibility.
The spirit of adventure is what drives us. The thrill of new vistas, the silence and solitude, the emotions, the revelations all spawned by our journey.
I ride a Harley, too fat for all but the laziest of roads. I camp like a vagabond, pitching shelter, primitive and simply. I have a destination and path in mind… but it often changes. Curiosity, and a paper map, often guide my aimless venture. Embracing what comes, I quietly learn to enjoy my folly, whether its grand or mild, and in doing so I live life like a King, incognito and anonymously, famously.
Thanks Sterling! I hope one day to meet.
I just binge watched all 23 episodes. Seriously, absolutely fantastic! Thank you man!
I’m now the proud Owner of my first Adventure bike because of you. Absolutely loved the “Riding Solo” videos. I learned so much. Extremely well done. 👏🏽
And it comes to an end with him riding into the sunset... classic!!!
Right?! Like Endless Summer surf movie or something. Some talent!
True words, one must learn to appreciate things without the urge to own it.
Well said, yup.
Hands down, my favorite series! I would choose this over The Long Way Round series
I love a great old downtown area too. That vintage motel restoration is really cool. 👍👍👍
Firebox - hammocks - BMW GS - Riding the west - Been there done that. Gotta love it. Thanks for making the effort - You've got way more patients than I'll ever have for having documented such a trip...
Thanks for sharing the great trip ,now its finished I think I'm going to have withdrawal symptoms. 👍
It makes me happy when your upload is more than 10 min... 😂👍 thk u Sterling

This is amazing documentary channel, Thank you Sterling keep doing this,you have a good story and you're the great videomaker.all by yourself 👍👍
Thank you for the ride! Your reflections about towns, camping and being alone made this ride series very special. Thank you!
I have been addicted to this series!! Thanks so much for the adventure. I'm looking at doing a similar trip, although not as long and down from the north as I am here in northern Alberta, Canada. Looking forward to watching your next trip!
What wonderful video, bringing some calm and peace into a hellish, twisted country filled with hate and distrust. I will visit the places you have shown me much different than my home. Thank you ,regards, James.
Made my first big road trip from Cali to Houston this past fall and the ending with the sunset brought back so many good memories from that trip. Thank you.
I'm going to miss this series, Sterling. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into this--it really shows!
It’s been great Sterling. I sent a clip to friends who plan to pass through the area and pie town. A great series. Loved them all!
Friggin Pie Town! Who knew?! Ha
Great series! Ate it up like a 7 month old discovering Cheerios's.
Kia ora from New Zealand. Really enjoyed this whole series and now I have an overwhelming urge to cook a steak on a firebox, drink a beer from a 32oz hydro flask and sit on a tiny chair. Not sure my Suzuki DR650 can carry a table as well but I'll give it a try! Great work sir!
I'm glad there's people like yourself Show me these places Are still there and exist. Thank you Great show
Sterling. This series has keep me going here in the UK. COVID-19 lockdown has been hard on us all. Also Europe is calling out for me once restrictions have lifted 6000miles is a struggle here on an island 😂. Keep them coming they are great to watch 🎥👍🏻
Truly an epic account of a way of traveling , that few people really understand. If it was easy , everyone would do it. The roughing it increases the sense of accomplishment! Stepping back increases your view! Thank you
I´ve watched them all and I want to thank you for sharing this epic journey with the Beemer with us outside the US. / Jon from Sweden
Its saddening that this has come to an end. Thanks for touring me in the US back country through your videos. Kudos
Hi sterling. What a fantastic series. Well edited
Lovely scenery and interesting stories. Thoroughly enjoyed

Thanks for all your hard work putting out a wonderful adventure. I watched the whole series over a two-day span. Very enjoyable.
Spent several years testing Army equipment at Fort Huachuca and visited Bisbee many times. Had breakfast at the Copper Queen. Watched most of your videos about solo travel. Great videos, thanks for sharing.
I am going to miss these videos You have done a number 1 job of this set of videos. So well done and now i dont know what to buy for a bike. Lol

Love the series. Great tips on riding, cooking, packing,and things to see on less traveled routes.
Thanks for the ride, Sterling - I really enjoyed it!

It's all been said eloquently by fellow watchers, so it's simply thank you from me for sharing your wonderful journey.
Thank you Sterling. I’m a GS rider and love the big and small adventures too. Great filming and stories. Thanks for the effort, and look forward to more.
Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work. Absolutely enjoyed watching all of your 6 ,000 mil adventure.
Thank you Sterling you're so generous with your knowledge and experience I learn something every time I watch your videos thank you again
Slowly making my way through this series, what an incredible journey. I hope to do something like this one day!
Thank you for your long trip. I was happy while I was watching your beautiful trip. I'm glad to see your great channel.

Thank you, Sterling, for these great videos. Your skill with cameras and software is admirable.
Thanks! Hope you can get out this summer!
How random, I just happened to pick Pie Town as a destination for my next solo moto camping trip a couple weeks ago, and then today I discovered your channel and saw this video!
I’m also a van camper who has a Chevy Express.
Great channel man, keep up the good work!
You are legend, mate.
8:53 on Episode 16 with the drone footage - BEST EVER - the images and the music - Great job = looked forward to every episode from your trip - inspiring
A great series Sterling, I’ve really enjoyed it. In fact I enjoy all of your films, so keep them coming, please! From Norfolk, UK
Loved those movies, rode some of it in 2018. Endless pleasure riding there.From Ontario.
It’s always a little sad when a great adventure comes to a close, and no inconveniences took place. Thank you so very much for the visual tour of your adventure. Looking forward for the next one!
Amazing series. Beats finding something on Netflix! Also made me up my game in terms of camping gear and stuff I need to buy for my motorcycle-adventures in the coming summer, THANK YOU ! :)
I've greatly enjoyed these videos. The relaxed pace mirrors my adventure riding style and aspirations. Mostly, I enjoy watching your videos and pretending that I still live in a free country. That feeling is now a rare commodity. Your beautiful videos are making it very difficult for me not to strap my waterproof bags on my bike and point it southwest.
Sterling, I watched all 23 episodes and really enjoyed your ride. Opened my eyes to expand my own rides to include backroads and remote camping. Great job!
Because of your videos. I bought a firebox stove and am committing to cooking more “real” meals next year on my trips instead of the “just add water” meals
Really, it's not like it's at all hard to do. If you want to go up a level more, get yourself a food dehydrator, or learn to do it in any oven. I've been doing that for decades. No salt-overkilled packaged crap goes into me. I bring homemade "just add water" meals that are delicious and healthy, because I control what's in them.
Great series! Awesome work. As a lifelong amateur photog and occasional filmer, I appreciated all the detail shots you did. Definitely something I try to do and go lots of inspiration from your edits. You've inspired me to get out more with my new (last year) dual sport and film. I bet its so much easier doing it solo and not having to worry about holding anyone back so you can take your shots. Keep it up!
I can’t thank you enough for these great videos and your philosophy of biking. On the Navajo’s. I don’t think they chose their place to live entirely out of free will.
You did a wonderful job filming this series and I want to thank you for bringing us along. Wonderful adventure and we'll thought out. Ride safe!
Thank you! I hope that you come back for some more adventures this summer.
Thank you Sterling for your inspiring videos of your trips.
Fantastic series Thanks for sharing. I too love “old” things and frequently plan rides in search of old truss bridges
What an epic series i can’t wait to see more giving me the itch to get out on my tiger and just go
A fantastic peaceful journey, beautifully filmed.
Thanks Sterling, I really enjoyed your interesting perspective. Your laid back style and down to earth style is appreciated in today’s world.
Enjoy being back home....but we’re all waiting for you to leave!
Very welcome!! I'll be leaving again soon, but maybe not 6,000 miles...!
Thank you for putting this together. It was a joy to watch and an inspirational way to take advantage of the wild ride that 2020 has been. An amazing trip. Thanks again for sharing it.
Well done Sterling. The videography, the journey and the sharing is excellent. I enjoyed your adventure. Thank you.
Hey Stirling, Thank you for putting in the time and effort to make this series. It is inspiring and you have given me some great ideas and a new perspective on what adventure riding can be. Keep on making great content. I love all of it.
Thanks so much!
Awesome series! One episode randomly popped-up in my suggested videos. A few minutes in I knew I had to go back and watch from the start, so I did. Thoroughly enjoyed every episode! Wonderful editing, cinematography, music selections, random tidbits of information, and watching all the great camp-side meals you made. Thanks for sharing the experience!
Thank you Sterling for letting us come along on this fantastic voyage. Right from the first episode I was hooked on the type of terrain and roads you were seeking out. I ride a 1200 GS, and like twisty paved back roads and meandering FS roads. In an earlier episode you spoke about having the right tool for the job, and I completely agree with you. I grew up racing motocross and riding in the dirt, so I know what a light weight and powerful dirt bike will do, and always feel like I'm beating my head with a brick when the GS gets in knarly terrain and I think just how hard I'm having to work, and realize there are just better tools for that job. Hope to meet you some day down the road.
Thanks for sharing your comments and hope to meet you too someday!
Thanks for this series!! I know longer have a motorcycle, but i fell that you have rekindled that fire in me .
Stay safe out there and welcome back home to Arizona.
Glad to help!
Thanks for sharing your adventures! So fun to follow you. Back in 1988 I strayed in Bisbee Az for a week for a bicycle race called “Tour of The Future” fond momories of your home there. Again thanks for taking us along!
Enjoyed the series - Thank you for making it.
Danke für die schönen Bilder. Ich hoffe das ich auch einmal solch eine Tour machen werde.
Thank you Sterling! Awesome. Can't believe the amount of energy and time you have to put into this to bring us this type of experience. Looking forward to so much more.
Rarely do I feel the need to give my drop of a comment in the internet sea, but this was an incredible series. Thanks Sterling. It’s definitely energized my mojo. Time to get out and RIDE.
Much appreciated!
