starting to get this whole "stopping" thing.

[Papa_Complex]

I don't ride to strafe the shit out of roads, I ride to see places I haven't been before. Once, when riding the shitville back roads, I stopped just to take a couple of pictures and watch the horses in a pasture, while having a drink. The woman who owned the place came out and we had a nice talk, for almost an hour. She was from Detroit and married to a guy from Windsor, Ontario. No, it didn't turn into a Penthouse Forum letter, but it's the sort of thing I like about riding.

Seriously; no one is going to bite on the 'having a piss at (on) the national cemetery' comment?

It's fun to do both. I love pushing myself on distance rides. Some people don't enjoy it and that's fine.

Stopping is fun too, half the fun of my trip out west was stopping and meeting different people. I always had people coming up to talk to me. Ask about my map sticker or wonder how a bike from Tennessee ended up in the middle of nowhere. Good times.

Nice bathrooms. No riff raff to worry about and silence.
Timing usually works out that I gotta go when I'm in range of the place. Its like having to pee just as you start fumbling the keys to get in the house.

Occasionally I'll go and say hello to Dad, Grandma and Grandpa.
