Total solar eclipses only occur somewhere in the world every 18 years or so. The next one will occur on August 21, 2017. While checking this out I found that the path of totality will pass in my area. In fact, it crosses right over the Cherahola Skyway. So, I think this would be a good place to ride and party on this day. Mark your Mayan calendar...
Here are maps showing the path of totality...
