NOTE: This site's focus has shifted to Dungeons & Dragons, fantasy role-playing games, and fantasy fiction. If that sounds like your kind of thing, check out my D&D and gaming content or sign up for my free monthly newsletter for dungeon masters. The rest of this old content, motorcycling, aviation, and the like, is still here, just not browsable from the main navigation anymore.
I rode into work for the second day in a row today. It’s been foggy both days, but today was colder — 28°. We had a full moon last night and it was setting in front of me as I rode toward town. My bike has over 34,000 miles now and although I commute a lot, usually once a week or more year round, the majority of those miles are from the big trips I take. During the summer I also take a lot of weekend day trips of 100 to 200 miles each.
When I see my bike parked behind the building at work I think in my head, “Be patient, my friend, we will be going on a trip soon enough.”
