Great post and I hope the title is a nod toward the song! “Born To Be Mild” by the Lunachicks…off the same album as their “Gett Off The Road” which is of course about punk biker chicks!! If anyone doesn’t have their records from the 90′s, go pick all of them up right now! Starting with “Babysitters on Acid” ~ they’ve still got the best sound going and funny too. Love you MC! See you October 5th in Cleveland! XO

At 46, I took Rider’s Edge with the hubbs to ‘be a better passenger’. Following the class, I rode a Buell for six weeks, a Sportster for four months, and the hubbs got me a Dyna Wide Glide for Christmas. I’m two years in now, and wonder why I waited so long. But I’m with you – managing the risk weighs on me every time I get on the cycle (especially when you read about Cactus losing a leg, or friends hitting deer on the way home – and she dies). Some bikers laugh at my helmet and tactical gear, but I’ll take my various ‘safety blankets’ every day. You can fix a broken arm…but brain damage is forever.

Makes me wanna get on that bike and ride. Good wishes Margaret in restoring your faith in folks. Sometimes we need to disconnect to reconnect.

Where to find spiritual nourishment and fun at the sametime?
