Do you ever feel the need to escape the noise of everyday life, hop on your motorcycle, and just ride? That urge to hit the open road, feeling the wind and the freedom of the journey—it’s something every rider knows. But what if that ride is more than just an escape? What if it leads to a moment where your presence is truly needed?

In this episode of Peace Love Moto, I share a personal story about one of those unforgettable rides. One Sunday morning, instead of heading to church, I followed the call of the road. My route took me through the breathtaking landscapes of northern Colorado—over Horsetooth Reservoir, along Highway 287, and past the historic Forks stage stop. But what started as a solo ride for peace of mind turned into a chance encounter that reminded me why we ride—not just for ourselves, but for others too.

On a lonely stretch of highway near the Wyoming border, I spotted a stranded car. A young woman, stuck without cell service, had already turned away one passing driver. But when I pulled up on my bike, something changed—she felt safe. What followed was a powerful conversation about life, connection, and the unseen plans that bring people together at just the right time.

Motorcycling isn’t just about the ride—it’s about being present, being open, and sometimes, being exactly where you’re meant to be. Join me for this story of serendipity, kindness, and the unique way motorcycles bring people together.
