Why we ride (part 1): Winter
I’d like to make this a tribute to all those who seek some saddle time. We all know deep inside, but here is my attempt to put it in writing.
The snow and trees beckon us to join them. The wooded trails, with their hills and curves, call us to them, promising seclusion and challenge. The lakes and fields suggest wide spaces, with panoramic views. The wooded meadow, a private showing of nature in it’s winter slumber.
The wild architecture of ice and snow, decorating the trees brings us closer to the inner joy of childhood. Allows us to release the giddy happiness that we repress in our daily lives. With incredible designs that can only happen in nature. We follow in euphoric abandon, searching for the next fantastic display.
Each ride is an adventure, where we push to discover more about ourselves. The machines we ride, and the trails we choose become but tools to our release. Our starting point, our chaotic modern life. The destination, a place to be discovered of our own creation.
This is but one reason we ride…
