Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moto Moms!
There is one single day of the year where I am guaranteed a moment of serenity on my bike: Mother’s Day. Yes, on Mother’s Day, it’s been tradition that my family grants me the day off. An entire day to do whatever it takes to get my sanity back; to indulge for 24 hours. And today’s forecast promised to deliver a perfect ride.
I’ve discovered the best way to clear my head of the crazies is to ride. Nothing like a moto-jaunt down a lonely country road in the cool spring morning air to feel a sense of renewal. It took almost an entire tank of gas to get there, but I had arrived – happiness achieved. The rest of my special day was left for lazing around, to ignore that pile of laundry waiting to be done, and instead reflect on my ride and relish the fleeting quite moments of an empty house that would soon be filled again with family racket – a noise that only a mother can love and appreciate. Happy Mother’s Day.
