If you want to know there’s a God, saddle up with four close friends on a clear crisp Saturday morning at sunrise and hit the road. There’s nothing like feeling the cold air in your face while the sun comes to your left splashing bright orange and blue across the sky. Had Café Del Mar’s ‘Nueve’ playing softly on my Nano and all was right with the world. 

It was the start of what turned out to be a 385 mile trip Saturday through the back roads of Central Florida to Anna Maria Island and back. With the weather starting out in the low 60’s and never leaving the 70’s, it was a spectacular ride.

As you all know, I’m a big proponent of getting on the bike in order to think my way through issues and these days the pressure in my world has never been greater. But on this ride not one thought of business rolled through my head the entire time.

Instead I watched the birds take to the air as we rolled by and saw an old ride for the first time again en route to a part of the country I’d not ridden before. I laughed at fuel stops and enjoyed a great breakfast with friends on the Gulf of Mexico. Felt the wind buffet me as we rolled over the Skyway Bridge on our way through St. Pete and rolled with the cagers on Interstate 4 on the way home.

I didn’t solve a damn issue but the pressure definitely decreased simply because I stopped the background noise and just lived for the day.  It was a little slice of Heaven…
