Saturday finally brought us a beautiful spring day with temperatures in the 70's here in southern Indiana. Usually, when the weather is nice it seems that I have a meeting to attend or some other ministry function, but this day my calendar was completely clear. My wife and I bought a few flowers and a couple of tomato plants to set out behind the house, and I got the yard mowed. One of our neighbors were working in their yard so we spent time visiting with them. After getting the tools put away it was time to get out the motorcycle.
We have a 2002 Goldwing 1800 that we do not get to ride nearly enough. It felt so good to get out on the road and just enjoy the wind and sun. We stayed off the main highways and rode in the country so we could watch the farmers working their fields. Several were out taking advantage of the nice weather. It felt so good to smell the wild onions and the freshly turned dirt.
We've only taken one long ride so far. Three years ago we rode out to Sturgis, SD about three weeks before the big motorcycle rally. I didn't think I wanted to be there for that! We wanted to make it a two week vacation, but after we got there the weather forcasters started predicting some bad storms would move into the area, so we came back home. It was still a great trip. We got to ride through the Badlands, see Mt. Rushmore, and ride through Sturgis and Deadwood. We saw some country we had never seen before, and we're anxious to go back.
