To the Shore and Back

When I finished grad school I was talking with my parents and I said, "now what am I going to do?" (Its hard to think about school being over when you have been in it for your whole life.) My dad said, "Now you can learn something fun". So I got my motorcycle license. My dad found me a bike shortly after that. I have been practicing and trying to get more comfortable on fast roads and in traffic. I have dealt with traffic, and with speeds, and with turns, but never all together.  And never on two lane roads. Today I put all of my skills together and rode to the shore and back. My dad was with me on the way there. I followed him so I didn't have to worry about where I was going, I just focused on riding. Then on the way home I did it all by myself!

Here I am getting ready to leave the beach.

Here I am safely back home.

 

Goal accomplished: Motorcycle to the shore--check! 17 down, 13 to go!
