Back to Nature

Back to nature
We are a part of this planet, not the only part, but a very important element to say the least. We can make it or break it. Is there any other living organism that affects the Earth to such a profound degree? Native Americans that inhabited Delmarva for many years lived in harmony with nature. They could have lived here forever in peace and tranquility without exhausting the natural resources. When you pedal Delmarva you get the insight into what their era was all about. In the end nature always wins, erasing the corporate raider’s ambitious endeavors, reclaiming the land for itself, putting the environments status quo at the forefront. I believe that human power is a part of nature. When the foot meets the pedal, muscles pumping, lungs burning, blood flowing, you feel alive. When was the last time you felt alive? I mean really alive, every cell of your being alert to the right now, mind sharp, body strong, ready for whatever, afraid of nothing, limited by no one, instincts keen, senses on full alert, yet still, relaxed, triumphant. That may be over reaching for some but I beg to differ. Stuck in the office, auto bound with too much windshield time, weighted down with the cares and duties of every day modern life, that is over reaching . Get away, escape to where you have always wanted to be, self propelled on life’s highway going somewhere for the sheer joy of it. There are 2 very powerful forces at work in the world. It has been said that if you are not a part of the solution then you are a part of the problem. Be a part of the solution; get in touch with the natural you. Join us on Delmarva for a reunion with the elements. Purge yourself of the climate controlled spaces for a little while and become a part of the level playing field that Mother Nature provides. You can do it, don’t sell yourself short. Outdoors is where we all began and where ultimately we will all return. Get back to nature, if only for a short time and pedal Delmarva. There are still a few places unspoiled by man, it is in these places you will remember and embrace everything that really matters. All this from a bike ride you ask. Hey it's a start !
