Midway ROUTE 2026 – Mission Accomplished

These past 10 days have changed so many lives in so many ways. They have shown people just how far they are willing to go for complete strangers and a shared mission. We have been brought to our limits and even pushed past them. If we tripped along the way, our family members have been right there beside us to catch us and help along the way....

Midway ROUTE 2026 – Day 10 Smithfield NC to Springfield VA

The final morning of my first Run For The Wall started with something we had not felt in days: cool air. After almost a week and a half of heat, humidity, and sweating through every layer possible, the breeze rolling through the staging area in Smithfield felt incredible. Riders stood around with coffee in hand enjoying the quiet morning before kickstands went up for our last full riding day together as Midway Route....

Midway ROUTE 2026 – Day 9 Ashville NC to Smithfield NC

Our first stop of the morning was Asheville Harley Davidson and pulling into the dealership felt unreal. The sun was just starting to come up over the Blue Ridge Mountains and the entire sky looked painted in pink, orange, purple, and blue. Low fog rolled through the mountains making everything look almost smoky, and there was a cool breeze in the air that felt AMAZING before the North Carolina heat decided to attack us later in the day....

2026 SandBox SitRep – Day 1

This year will be a little different. Patti (Mary) Bogan and Arnie (Ammo) Harman will be contributing to the SitRep writing, and I will be posting their pieces. I will clearly note the author so they receive full credit for writing about their experience and observations from the 2026 SandBox Run. It's not an easy job to ride with the Pack and have to concentrate on tracking events and writing about them later on, often not getting enough sleep. ...

It is hard to believe that this is the last day. Everyone will go back home and back to the normal routines. I hope, especially for the FNGs, that this has been a mission to never be forgotten. New friends to last a life time. First order of the day is to go to the Lincoln Memorial for group picture....
