Ducati Scrambler post up at Robert Mondavi Winery

June 10, 2018

Today while on our epic 240 Sunday 🏍🏍 Ride. Melinda who is excellent at knowing wines, tress, birds 🦅 & mor, pointed out a famous winery, Robert Mondavi Winery in NAPA Valley. Of course we had to ride through, take a 📸 #forthegram & check in 😂. More photos and videos from this trip all week!

Almost the Clearlake! A lesson is checking the route

June 10, 2018

💯 Transparency is about sharing the good, the bad, and the “f ups”. Melinda and I have been talking about riding to Clearlake. Today while planning our 240 mile ride I added gas stops and other destinations. One gas top was at the bottom right before #clearlake. For some reason it didn’t click with me to go further north to actual Clearlake. About 20 miles south of Clearlake after we get ⛽️ up, Melinda asked “did we pass the lake?”. Being we were coming up on hidden valley lake I was like not yet. Via our @senabluetooth headsets we chatted a little more to see if we should stop and check or not. Then we pulled over to check. We were now 30min away South of Clearlake. Dam it. We almost made it. All I could say is “my bad”. We took a big sigh, and said next time! One day we’ll make it to Clearlake. We enjoyed our ride back through #nappavalley to #sanfrancisco . Today we learned 3 valuable lessons.

#1 review the full route planned before leaving home.

#2 over communicate where you want to go.

#3 review the route at gas stations.

Still today’s ride was epic!

Fun weekend on 🏍❤: Equator Coffee to Alpine Lake over the Golden Gate Bridge

April 13, 2018

Fun weekend on 🏍🏍❤ For those of you following the Wayne and Melinda weekend fun in our Norcal backyard…

After a rainy migrainy Saturday, and a 💁🏼‍♀️👢👞👔 clean up for the amazing Alonzo King LINES Ballet w Christine Herron…

🏍🏍☀ Ride through Sausalito with a ☕ stop at Equator Coffees & Teas in Marin, up to gluten free Flour Craft Bakery 🥐 (🙌🏼 Marian Zizzo).

Down the winding Bolinas Road along Alpine Lake and its cascading dam, turning into a one-lane road with the sides washed out from the rains😱🌧, past a roadside waterfall down into the surf town of Bolinas. 🏄‍♀️

Back out to gorgeous Highway 1 where it was almost completely washed out 🌊 covered in water. Wayne scoped it out and we said a 🙏🏼 and 🏍🌊🏍🌊through it. On the other side, less than a mile down the road we saw a hundred seals and pups hanging in the wetlands! 🏝 Pulled over to hear and see the pups. Amazing!

Then wound our way up the Panoramic Highway as the sun began going down 🌅, hit 101 and caught the Golden Gate Bridge 🌁 as the last ☀beams hit it.

And home for homemade 🌮.

  • Over the weekend we stayed at a bed and breakfast with llamas. And they are such peaceful creatures. Llamas 🦙 peacefully drinking was a reminder that there is good in the world. ❤️ Hope you all are doing well and staying healthy. #llamas #drinkingwater #peace #mendocino #farmlife #bedandbreakfast #glendeveninn @glendeveninn
  • Sunset at mid-day. Over the weekend @waynesutton and I had plans to ride 🏍🏍 up the coast to Mendocino to meet up with my parents. We woke up and looked out to see a smoky world outside in San Francisco, and decided to rent a car. For days we have breathed the air filled with smoke from the deadliest fire in California history. Now walking through SF in masks with heavy hearts for the lives, homes and forests lost. Send love into the world. It has been a tough few weeks and months and last two years. The world will get better, but we all have to work together to make it happen. 🙏🏼👊🏼❤️ #smoke #californiawildfires #Campfire #smog #love #timeforchange
  • Keep believing in yourself. Keep working on yourself. Keep striving to be who you want to be. It took me years of working hard on my own presence to get to a point where I could walk on a stage with confidence. (And I still have a flutter of panic.) It took me years to walk down the street and not move out of the way every time someone might cross my path (and I still find myself thrown off the path by stronger egos). It took me years of learning and growing to find this work I do right now (and I still wonder what I’ll be doing 5-10 years from now). We live in an era where not everyone has access to information and opportunities equally. Use every connection you have, read books and articles and tune into yourself to learn and grow constantly. Keep becoming you. Keep believing in you. Keep moving forward. . . . . . 📸 by the amazing @shephotographyexperience #keepmovingforward #keeplearning #keepliving #womenwhoride #motorcycle #ducati #ducatiscrambler #ladyrider #ride #goldengatebridge #sanfrancisco #bay
  • It has been too many days of working and traveling. I miss riding through the streets and valleys with you @waynesutton ❤️ Also: we voted today. Hope you all did too! 🗽 #waynesutton #coupleswhoride #ducati #ducatiscrambler #motorcycle #motorcyclesofinstagram #ride #urbanlife
  • Fall in Chicago last week. My work to change the world, to make the world more equitable, takes me on a lot of plane rides. It takes a personal toll and there is always a balance of personal well being and global well being changemakers must ride. The wellness practices I include in my travel: 1. Sleep. Get more of it. Don’t do red eyes, ever. 2. Meditation. Every night no matter what. 3. Eat well. Better than when you are home, put in your body only clean healthy food. Sometimes it’s hard. It was hard in Chicago. 4. Be present. See the beauty around me. Go for walks, take in the culture of the place. 5. Hand sanitizer. Before eating, touching your face, anything. Especially in airports. 6. Be you. Wherever you are, remember who you are. Be you, do you. #travel #traveltips #chicago #city #sunset #fall #urbanlandscape #cityscape #wellness
  • My two favorite people. Micah and @waynesutton When you are feeling the weight of the whole world, go play on a playground with your favorite people. You’ll feel better. 😃 #family #micah #junglegym #lookingup
  • Spending time with Micah and my in-laws last weekend in North Carolina. ❤️❤️❤️ #family #suttons #micah
  • What an amazing team I get to work with to change the world! Sometimes we have really tough weeks like the last few, where the world is full of hate and pain. I’m so grateful that I work to create a better world. This team worked tirelessly for months to create #TechInclusion 2018. I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to work with day and night to make a real difference in the tech industry. @waynesutton @salemkimble @hhien1197 @bebiann @iamrenzosantos @brandybeing @annieford_h2o ❤️🙌🏼👊🏼👏🏼💯 . . . . . #changetheworld #focusonsolutions #diversity #inclusion #representationmatters #diversityintech @techinclusion 📸 by @mkstudioseattle
  • One of my favorites from a recent shoot with @shephotographyexperience Riding with @waynesutton has helped me get through the hard weeks, remember the beauty in this world after tragic weeks like this last week, renew my hope, and rejuvenate after working too many hours each day. Find your passion and jump in. Own it, live it, be fully present within it. And take a break. A breath. Sending much love in the world. ❤️❤️❤️ Take care of yourself. . . . . . #highfive #findyourpassion #love #goldengatebridge #womenwhoride #motorcycle #scrambler #ducatiscrambler #motorcyclesofinstagram #bay #ladyrider #ride #urbanlife

  • Is it bad you dream about roads? With everything going on in the world, 🏍 🏍 and roads are a great self care getaway. Adding this to our 2019 goals list! On a @scramblerducati cc @ducatiuk 😎. / #Repost @myswitzerlandkr ・・・ ⠀ #드론 으로 만나는 스위스 1탄 자연이 선사한 드라이빙 스팟 #Grimselpass 스위스 자동차 여행객들이 무조건 들린다는 이 도로는 산의 웅장함과 능선의 아찔함을 제대로 느낄 수 있는 장소에요. 뿐만 아니라 오토바이, 자전거 등 액티비티와 여유를 즐기는 사람들에게는 최고의 놀이공원이기도 하죠. 하늘에서 바라본 모습은 운전 중 마주한 풍경과는 조금 다른데요. 그래서 더 특별하게 느껴진답니다. 멋진 순간을 선사해주신 @gravy_nine 감사합니다!

I saw @dominika_rides post about the @motorcyclelive event and was like 😱, the event will be held in Birmingham which is only a 2 hour drive from London. Thanks ! Tickets purchased and we can’t wait! Looking forward to seeing the 2019 bikes, custom mods and more! Also hope to meet the local @ducatimotor @ducatiuk team! More 🏍 📸 on the way! #uk #Birmingham #motorcyclelive
