Music to My Ears


It’s the sound of big tonka trucks going back and forth in front of our house. The road has been under construction for the past few months now, and this week, smooth road passed our house! Wowee!!!

The 5-mile drive between the office (at “camp”) and our house, which used to take nearly an hour earlier this year, has dropped to a mere 11 minutes! That’s in a truck. On the motorcycle, the transformation is not so much in time (shaves off about 5-10 min) but in obstacles. Now, instead of the pothole obstacle course, we have nearly smooth roads, but pre-asphalt stage in rainy season means that parts of the road become a muddy mess of slip-n-slide. If it happens not to rain, it becomes dust city. Ah, well, keeps one on the toes and makes me a stronger dirt-biker-mama.
