Welcome to HFG Hog Blog.  

This is the site where I’ll track my trip across the Midwestern US and Canada during my ride to and from Milwaukee for the Harley-Davidson 105th Anniversary celebration.

 

I’ll use this blog as a way to let people know that I’m OK and to follow my progress as I move across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Lake Michigan, Wisconsin, Ontario, and then back home to New York.

Along with other members of my firm I’ll be working at the 105th, but the trip to and from Milwaukee is purely personal.

The current plan is to leave Westchester County with my riding buddy Joseph Kleinmann, and to ride to my mom’s house in Oxford, Ohio (distance, 711 miles).  We expect to do it in 3 days.  Joseph will return to Westchester to be ready to start his job as a high school science teacher the following week.  I’ll continue to Milwaukee via the Muskegon, MI ferry (distance, 349 miles).  I’ll work the event and then return through Canada.  

I plan to head north through the upper peninsula of Michigan, and through Ontario to Niagara Falls, before heading southeast through New York State (distance, 1,829 miles).

 

All in, the trip will cover 2,889 miles, give or take.  At roughly 300 miles per day, that’s a fully 10 days on the road, with some breaks.  I plan to leave Chappaqua on August 19, and return on September 5, a total of 18 days.

 

In the run-up to the ride I’ll post updates on plans, timetables, etc.  

Stay safe.

Vroom….
