Last night I decided to go for a late night ride. Occasionally I like to ride out about 20 miles outside of town and just walk around on the side of the road, enjoying the peace and quite. I grew up living out in the country, so the nice rides out there, especially at night, remind me of all that. So last night I get about 20 miles north of Lubbock, pull over and shut off the bike. The moon is bright, the air is crisp and clean, fabulous night for a ride of its kind. The only thing that could make it better, was if we had a few curved roads, or maybe some real twisties. It was just nice to take a few minutes to appreciate the open country out here (since we have SOOOOO much of it).
