Rested Up

I sleep in on Saturday and basically did nothing at all but send a few emails and watch a couple of MotoGP races that I was behind in. I cook a massive steak for tea and even get reacquainted with vegetables. The next morning I get up and do my washing and start to get […]

Country Retreat

I checked now and have 60 people following my blog – the Lodi Police facebook mention gained a few Locals so welcome to them. Here is me thinking I would be lucky if my family followed me! This is the site for the Lodi Police Department facebook page. Soon Fred will have a personal media […]

Ghetto Airbnb

I am writing this blog sitting in front of an antique fan in a room without a light – luckily I have my tent light which is a ripper. I am in a small town called Gridley which is about 100klms north of Sacramento. The outside temperature is still 36 degrees – I had booked […]

All about Fred

I am currently in a small city called Hayward which is just 43klms south of San Francisco. I was in no rush to leave my airbnb at Prunedale as the hosts were great. Before I left I went to the nearest Post Office at Castroville to send my Superbike souvenirs home. On arrival it was […]

Race Time

*I may have forgot to send out the email re blog update for my last blog so check before you read this one. I leave my luxurious Hotel as late as I can – I get up the road and find about 15 motels that would have been half the price! I stop off at […]

Lost and found

I am drafting this blog from inside my tent at a hidden gem of a campground just south of Fort Dick, California. This morning I got off to a late start as I was fogged in. I took a few photos of my luxurious accommodation; Yeah it was rough but I have stayed in far […]

Lava to Rain Forest

I am doing this blog from a small town called Reedsport which is about as far west as you can go in Oregon without being in the ocean. The town has a population of about 4,000 and historically (1850’s) a lumber town until that industry died a few years ago. Now it is basically reliant […]

Near death x 2

I thought I had better put a picture up of a church as the big fella was looking after me yesterday. What a day – starts off well with a good early start. I pack up and head up the highway and cross the border into Oregon. Straight away is Ontario and I go into […]
