Chix on 66 – Day 1 Milwaukee

Holy moly! I have not posted in a week!! So I guess there’s a lot to report retrospectively…

Thursday, June 9: My 24-hour travel odyssey ended as I landed in MKE at 8:45 a.m. Kathy Strobele landed not long after, and my buddy Tom Hinderholtz gave us a lift to Create Milwaukee where our bikes and all the swag supplies had been stashed since the previous weekend.

We checked in to the hotel and headed for the Museum, at which point it felt like I was drinking from a fire hose. That feeling really hasn’t stopped…

It was a busy day with bike tech and registration, meeting all the Chix, answering questions, putting last minute details together and essentially trying to make a mad scramble look organized!

Kathy and I ate a late lunch at a place called Fuel. Best burger ever, especially since we were ravenous!

Fell into bed exhausted and pleased that things seem to be coming together.

I ride motorcycles, I live motorcycles, and I write about motorcycles. Both of my blogs are written for motorcyclists: atomicshovel.blog tells the never-ending story of my 1974 Harley-Davidson FLH, which I have named the Atomic Shovel. My other blog coachk.home.blog is written for riders of all skill levels, but is primarily aimed toward the rider who is transitioning from the riding range where they learned basic skills, to the open road. This blog address the most common questions I see in the online groups and forums: dealing with anxiety - yes, that is the number one question, navigating traffic, parking, holding your bike on an incline, just to mention a few. Much of what I write is simply drawn from my own experiences - successes, failures, do-overs. Nothing in either blog should be construed as the absolute one and only approach; rather, look at them as a starting point for your own discovery process.
