Adios PCB - Hello NC

Adios PCB - Hello NC

After being in Panama City Beach for over 5 weeks, it is time for me to head back home. It was great that my brother and his wife allowed me to live at their beach house and work for that long. I was able to make many excursions, drink and

ThunderBeach - Bike Week at PCB

ThunderBeach - Bike Week at PCB

This year I decided to go visit my brother and stick around for bike week in Panama City Beach. Since I have a place to stay (and a nice one at that), why not stay an extra week and see what this bike week is all about. Luckily for me,

Christo's Sports Bar and Grill

Christo's Sports Bar and Grill

I have eaten at this place so many times it is hard to count. Love the atmosphere as it is small bar with excellent food and drinks. The prices are not so bad either (at least on PBR). I have not had anything bad here. Of course I have tried

Ponce de Leon Springs State Park

Ponce de Leon Springs State Park

Since I had the day off (Friday), I decided to do a big loop that included a stop at Ponce de Leon Spring State Park. This spring is actually the result of two underground water flows that churns through 14 million gallons of water per day with a constant temperature

Blue Parrot Oceanfront Café

While out on a ride with some locals riders that my brother new, we headed out to St. George Island (you can read more about this ride that I did here). As usual, this ride was fantastic...especially the bridge heading over to St. George Island. Once on the island,

Indian Pass Raw Bar

Indian Pass Raw Bar

While coming back from yet another ride over to St George's island, took a different road back and found this little place. Stopped to get a cool drink. They have a massive beer cooler and it must have had over 100 kinds of beer. Great selection. Then I

Cape San Blas

The wind died down today so I decided to head out the Cape San Blas. This is a peninsula close to Panama City Beach that has incredible view and beaches. Also, it is one of the few places where you can see the sun rise out and set back into

Defuniak Springs

Defuniak Springs

Another great day and time to explore. This time I am heading north to Defuniak Springs, FL. This is an interesting town since there is a perfect circle of a lake right in the middle of the city. Great walking path around the lake. The road that circles the lake

Cone Heads

While riding out to Cape San Blas, right before you get to the state park, there is a bar and grill that is a definite stop. I did not eat there but they have an outdoor deck that is phenomenal for views. I got a beer and took in the

The Hideout

While riding up to Defuniak Springs, I passed this really cool looking dive bar and made sure to stop on my way back home. Glad I did since this was a great bar. They had a live band and the place was packed with a lot of interesting bikes. I

Last Stop Brew Haus

While in Defuniak Srpings, came across this interesting bar very close to the lake. I decided to stop and check it out. They had a good beer selection. Great place to stop and have a quick beer. 630 Baldwin Ave, Defuniak Springs, FL 32435

PCB - Heading East

My first day off in Panama City Beach, FL and I wanted to head east. This is towards the Apalachicola National Forest. I got on the bike and headed East on Hwy 98. One area I drove through was called Beach Road. One one side are palm trees and the

TapRoot - Port St Joe

TapRoot - Port St Joe

I was out riding East of Panama City Beach and one of the towns I encountered was Port St Joe. I rode by this interesting beer joint called TapRoot. I decided to stop and check it out. Glad I did. My kind of place. It is small inside (there is

PCB Tornado

Now that I am down in Panama City Beach, Florida, I decided to take a quick look around at the tornado damage. There were injuries from this storm but no deaths here in PCB (unbelievable). My brother lives only about 1.5 miles from where the tornado touched down on

Ride to Florida

Two Trees Bar and Grill

This is a great bar and grill up in Denver, NC. Very bike friendly and a wonderful staff. I did a nice ride ending up at this establishment on a wonderful Sunday afternoon. There is the smaller bar in front but out back (as seen in the picture), there is

Warm Winter Ride in SC

Warm Winter Ride in SC

When I first woke up this morning, I was not really sure if I was going to ride or not. I had a lot of chores to do around the house and the weather was not looking great. I got started working the basement (painting, dusting, cleaning, etc.) when the

During a ride to Lancaster, SC, I decided to stop and have a quick beer. I have been here before on my trip back from Panama City Beach, FL and wanted to make a nice day trip back down here. When I arrived around 4pm, there were quite a number

Pannier Lid Organizer

Pannier Lid Organizer

On my bike, I use the hard Givi cases for storage. Now I am not going to get into an argument over hard vs soft luggage but I will say that that one advantage of soft bags is the ability to have a lot of storage pockets while the hard

ROCKBROS Side Tool Bag

ROCKBROS Side Tool Bag

When I go my new Tiger 1200 Explorer, my Hepco & Becker tank bags would no longer fit on the engine guard correctly. I could probably make them fit but after inspecting one of my bags, I decided to see if I can find something else (one of my bags

Tailgators Sports Grill

Tailgators Sports Grill

This is not really a dive bar but it does have pretty good food and the beer is pretty cheap. The staff has always been extremely friendly even when we show up with a large group of people. This is a good place to watch a game as well. I

Bart's Mart

This place is literally right around the corner from the House of Pizza. This is an eclectic place - very cool and a TON of different beers to choose from (wines too!). If you did not know it was here, you would never give it a second look. Great place

House of Pizza

The Thursday night group decided to meet up at the House of Pizza in Charlotte (this place has been here a long time). The service is great. The food was good but I got the Antipasto Salad. Another said the Philly Cheese was excellent. Another said the pizza was "

Beautiful Sunday Ride

Yes, it is still winter here but last weekend the weather was absolutely gorgeous. I had a 3 day weekend and took advantage of the weather all three days. On Sunday, someone asked what I was up to and we both headed out for a few hours ride through the

Winter Ride to Lake Tillery

Winter Ride to Lake Tillery

I feel guilty even calling this a winter ride since the temperature was in the high 60's...in early February! It was such a nice day, I decided to head out on the back roads and go to the Boat House on Lake Tillery. I love the area
