    Back in the 80's when I was invincible, I used to time the traffic on one of my all-time favorite rides though the Sierra's. Tear up the road, flickin the bike back and forth, draging the pegs. Focused on every stone and twig way around the corner that I needed to miss.

    Then one day I realized the only thing I saw in that 45 minute high speed romp was asphalt.

    Wasted all the chances to relax and take in the beauty.

    Wonder sometimes why I'm still here.

      Well said.

      Slow down, stop and take pictures, enjoy the road.

        I ride like a grandma. I just put my feet down to drop speed and come to a stop.
