Taking a trip this summer: Summer Michigan Tour
My dad called me last night to tell me he wanted to rent a bike and do the trip with me. He rode regularly from the early 70's through the mid-80's, but the last bike he owned was an 06 KLX250S that never even saw 1,000 miles. He's been out of the game for a while. My dad is my best friend and this could probably be a very meaningful experience, but A) This is a pretty rigorous route to jump into when you haven't been riding consistently for 20 years, B) There's no way he'll want to ride the hours/pace I intend to keep, C) I don't want to worry about anyone other than myself getting hurt in the middle of the woods, and D) I haven't taken a trip in years and I was really looking forward to some time out in the wild, by myself. My wife really made me feel like a dick for even considering telling him "no." Her dad has already passed and she thinks I'll regret not taking advantage of the trip with him while I can. Since I moved to Georgia six years ago, I only see my parents once or twice a year.
