Commute to work today was one of those "best ride ever" moments:
Out on the interstate at 5 am; still dark out at this time of year and no traffic on the road. Perfectly clear skies and 48 degrees F. There was a full moon out to my south (the left side of my visor) and I had a great view of the big dipper to the north (the ride side of my visor). I could see both clearly while looking straight ahead. I know, I know; keep your eyes on the road but it was just to mesmerizing to resist. Add to that about 7 shooting stars I saw falling (the remnants of last weeks meteor shower) and my 45 mile commute became one of the most memorable rides that i can remember.
Don't get me wrong; I love acceleration and hammering a nice corner but that normally dull ride to work on a straight interstate was, I won't say spiritual, but very peaceful and beautiful. I was in a great mood until I worked at my crappy job for 10 hours and then was stuck in rush hour traffic for 30 minutes on the commute home. Still though, that ride in this morning was just awesome.
Just wanted to share this with you all and also ask you what is your favorite ride?
