Bridging the Gaps, the Definitive Guide to Steph Sightings in 2016
So, 2016 was a bit of a mess for the blog, and entries jumped around a bit. If you’re reading from start to finish or simply want to catch up, here’s my collection of events as they happened chronologically.
From February 4th to 28th, I rode from my winter stop in Atlanta, GA to Las Vegas, NV with Fred. You can read about it here in four parts:
- Dos Vesperados, Part 1: The Prequel with Party Ice. February 4-9, 2016.
- Dos Vesperados, Part 2: The Hills, Big Bend, and I can see Mexico from my Scooter. February 10-17, 2016.
- Dos Vesperados, Part 3: White Sands, Sonorans, Trouble in a Dusty Paradise. February 18-22, 2016.
- Dos Vesperados, Part 4: The Rally Finale! Scooting into the Sunset. February 23-28, 2016.
On February 29th, I decided to keep riding west to San Diego, CA.
I visited my friend in San Diego and met the great guys at Vespa Motorsport. On the way north, I met another long distance GTS rider extraordinaire, Karen.
Eventually, I wound my way back to San Francisco, where I picked up work PDI-ing bikes in the transition of Vespa to their new location at Scuderia West. Read all about it here:

Once healed up enough to ride, I did manage a few shenanigans. Some highlights below that didn’t make it into the summary:
