For the last few years I feel we have all been like a dog chasing our tail. We really don’t know which way to to start and then once we do we quickly switch directions and try running the other way. It has been no different for me. As with most folks a lot of things have happened in my life that make you wonder where the hell is my life going.
The send off was great from CSU but as always it full of emotions for me.
Then the stop on Broadway to see all of the nursing students and the team members from Synovus Bank and most importantly was a chance to see James Cole and have a group picture with him. To keep with the tradition of the last few year we decided to switch directions of the trip this year, you know the dog chasing his tail thing. Right away into the trip my bike was not riding like it should, I had a bad wobble in the backend. Then to add to it a blowout after leaving a toll booth. Potholes and big cities, who’s bright idea was it to go a different direction!!!!! I guess it was just my way of keeping with the times of a mixed up world, and thinking is anything good anymore!!!!
If you know me you know that’s not the way I think or live my life. The thought only last for two days and I’m reminded of how lucky I am. The first reminder was John at the Harley shop coming in on his day off the work on his own bike and putting it to the side to fix my tire and on top of that refusing to take any money for it. Then it was back on the road and out of the big cities, well almost. Chicago here we come, riding thru any big city with 18 bikes is a challenge and Chicago didn’t let us down. We all hit the toll booth as a group but on the other side of it I have no idea in hell how we all got split up. There were five different roads after the tollbooth and I think we had bikes on all of them and all chose are own path. (Life lessons for me choose your own path and ride it to the end but don’t be afraid to change directions you just might catch that tail) the different paths we all took ended with us together again as a group with great stories to share about each of are own experiences. This ride is what I needed at the time I needed it. I was too busy chasing my tail and forgot what is really important, chasing the sun!!!!!!
