The way I ride, I load my gear on my motorcycle and head out with no destination in mind.
I get out of the city, cross rivers and mountains, and find myself along the coast. I set up camp for the night, eat a little something, then roll up into my sleeping bag.
That's how I ride.
I'm not looking for scenic landscapes nor am I hell-bent on sampling some local cuisine. There aren't any particular highlights as such, just fragmented vague bits of memory I constantly overwrite.
But, if there's something that catches my interest on a ride, I take pictures.
Riding is not without setbacks like downpours, crosswinds and motorcycle troubles, but when stuff like that occurs, I just roll with it, trust my instincts and keep pushing ahead at my own pace.
That's how I like it.
