CMN Miracle Riders Heading Home

On September 18th, seven local motorcycle riders started a 12 day, 5000 mile journey to raise money for the Unity Point St. Luke's Children's Miracle Network. Woodbury County Sheriff Dave Drew is one of the riders who's on the 12 day trip that includes historic U.S. Route 66. Drew and the riders have stopped at Children's Miracle Network Hospitals to meet children and raise $50,000 for CMN: The sheriff also got to experience a "bucket list" moment when the riders rolled into Winslow, Arizona to stand on the corner and "Take it Easy" for a little while: Most of the weather on the ride has been great but the group encountered sleet and wind near Vail, Colorado Wednesday which followed them into Cheyenne, Wyoming Thursday.

8 of the weirdest hotels and motels in the United States

A stay at your average run-of-the-mill hotel chain - while adequate in most cases - can be underwhelming for some seasoned travelers. Sure, there's something to be said for a predictable motel room with a queen bed and cable TV, but some tourists would rather eschew a typical lodging experience in favor of stranger accommodations.

Cyclist Mark Beaumont is among those who have used the North Coast 500 tourist route.

The route, which has had huge publicity since its launch in March 2015 has been billed as Scotland 's answer to the US 'Route 66.' It covers some of the most spectacular scenery in the north Highlands, but there were nine deaths and 23 serious accidents on the nine main roads on the 516-mile route in 2016. The increased visitor numbers have put a strain on local infrastructure and the behaviour of some motorists has also angered residents living along the route who have reported speeding and dangerous driving to the police .

Cooler fall temps have you itching to jump on a motorcycle? Read this first...

PHOENIX - Fall has officially arrived in Arizona, and for thousands across the state, the cooler weather means it's time to dust off the Harley. I have to admit, I'm in love with the idea of being on a motorcycle, riding through scenic Jerome, Sedona, Payson, or along Route 66, with the wind flowing through my hair, the sun on my face, and only the open road in front of me.
