Well, dogs are cosmic creatures…

Ha! I love it, Steve: “…eat my cereal, listen to my dogs chew bones, and go for a walk.”

Yes, that sounds pretty damn cosmic and delicately balanced indeed…

Your thoughts are spot on. To the next road!

Sounds remarkably similar to my own experience. The desire to ride can hit anytime. Like now, evening pushing on and I’m tired but still could use a ride!

I love the weather here though must admit the cold winters are beginning to weigh on me. I understand now why people migrate to warmer climates…

Hello Jon. Thank you for your kind words about the rides — this is a lovely place to explore. I visited your Notebook site and you have a wonderfully eclectic collection of explorations and projects. I came across a portrait of Pete Carroll and I kept thinking, “I know this guy”. Took me awhile until I realized he made the Vespa Verve video I posted sometime back. Small world.

Are you the Vespa rider in the video?

Good eye David. That loose gravel was really loose. I sat with the back tire spinning. Would have been disastrous if I had not been going slow when I pulled over.

Have to agree with Ry, the end is all part of the process … its purpose is to make us realize how sweet the journey was…so we can anticipate the next road.

Nowhere in particular did I need to go. I just rode around, and 30 miles later, I was sorry I had arrived home. My helmet pressing high on my cheekbones, a tiny bit of wind buffeting, the sounds of the machine, and my constant desire to be the best, most skilled, and safest rider I can be. Just enjoying another ride, as I do all of them.
