Of Bibles, flags and team Trump

Pennsylvania was an amazing State to ride in from east to west. The roads are well maintained and the windy single track through the lush hills made for an incredible day on a motorcycle. 

We spent the day riding with 3 awesome women – Mary Beth from Long Island, Kirsten from Pennsylvania and Vivian from the Chicago area. They were very happy to join the Canadian Rogue Riders which is now “a thing”. Kirsten sadly had to leave the group early today but we made her an honourary Canadian Rogue Rider. 

Driving through this part of the country it was hard not to notice the bazillion churches, American flags (although that could have been because it was just after July 4th – but somehow I doubt it) and the scary number of Team Trump lawnsigns with at least one van completely decked out in Trumphenalia. 

But I have to say, without exception, people have been chatty and kind. From the biggest, burliest biker to the local shop keeper and gas bar attendant people have asked us where we’re riding from and where we’re riding to. When we tell them the story we get huge smiles and “that’s so cool” and “I’m jealous” but the last words are always “ride safe”. Feeling the love. 😄
