Trail riding as recreation

It has been a month since my last post. There is nothing new really just my normal weekend activities.
In this post Im going to talk about recreation and trail riding. Recreation is doing an activity in ones leisure time. So we can conclude that our activity of trail riding is a leisure activity in its own right.
What is leisure?
Leisure is freetime. We have 24 hours a day, 8 hours is taken up by working to earn a living for ourself and family. The remaining 8 hours is used for our mere existence and biological needs such as eat and sleep. We are left with another 8 hours for us to utilize and thats leisure time. What do we do with this portion of time in a day?,typical answer would be spending time with family members,teh tarik sessions,shopping,attending concerts,movies etc. Another answer would be resting which I think is the most popular answer.
What about weekends?
As riders we always look forward to weekends or is it? For the active type weekend is very precious. They have 16 hours to fullfill their requirement for recreation. It is crucial to maintain sanity during this trying times.....for me at least

Solo ride

It is often  said that motorcycling equates to freedom,no?. Free from work,family, stress and you embrace thrill, speed, environment and danger instead. Is it really free if you are bound to rules and regulations,dos and donts and ride schedules when you go for a group ride?. More so if your riding style and preferences are a little bit awkward.
Sometimes I just like to ride alone with no waiting,no discussion on route to take,where and when to stop, which hotel to stay, what kind of food we eat,what time to get up blaaa,blaaa,blaaa. It is true motorcycling freedom to just ride at my whim and fancies. There is no second thought to venture out to check out a walking path when I come across one, just to see where it ends.
Thats true motorcycling freedom.
