When life tells you to stop.
The idea to take some time off and motorcycle to Virginia has been in the works for a month, but the idea to just hop on our bikes and ride has been out there far longer. We've made day trips, weekend trips, but we were finally making time in life to go a little farther, a little longer. The time off was finally jiving to the desire.
On the eve of setting out, on a really fun experience, we heard the news that my aunt had passed away unexpectedly. We don't often stop in life, we like to burn the candle all at once and race off into the darkness that is left behind. The decision to not head out on our adventure was made for us but we didn't fight it, we let priorities take control where needed.
But the best laid plans are not to be dismissed entirely. The desire to be out is still there, we just need to work on the timing.
In the end, our plans will be altered to accomodate the time we have. The next few months are more regimented with schedules, due to work, but we've found a way to weave through these months with a few week long trips mixed in with shorter ones.
In the end, when life tells you to stop, just coast for a while, then when the way is clear, get back on the throttle. We'll ride on
