Yesterday hubby and I took a drive south to a store about an hour away. Our route took us down some of our favorite riding roads. We both were pointing out stuff we had never seen before when we are on the bikes... houses on top of hills, cemetery on the side of a hill as we are rounding a corner, etc.

It was amazing how much stuff you miss when you are tucked down behind your windscreen or setting up for the next corner (maybe exceeding the speed limit here and there).

Of course there wasn't a single person on the road in front of us so it would have been a perfect day to be on the bike... minus snow/ice/cold.

Has anyone else noticed the same?

Being winter helps too since there are no leaves on trees making it easier to see things we wouldn't normally see in the summer too.

When people ask me for reason why I ride, "scenery" is always one of the first answers.
Don't forget smells...noticing the little temperature changes..
