A good ride in the winter is something you quietly put adjacent to your heart; an unspoken victory filed away for times of weakness and need, to be pulled out when you require a reminder of what you are capable of.

About This Quote

The winter season can be quite harsh. The cold can be so harsh that it feels like it is piercing your skin. Even the touch of the snow can be cold. However, this doesn’t stop people from enjoying it or taking pleasure in it.

When you enjoy something, you appreciate it. You respect something but don’t worship it. That is what “a good ride in the winter” means.

We all know that winter is an unavoidable part of living here in the north country, but we often forget what it means. We forget to appreciate what we have instead of focusing on what we don’t have.
