I was headed west towards Lewistown, Montana. Another cyclist was approaching from the opposite direction. It can be lonely cycling down the highways of America. It is usually a lot of fun talking to other bicycle tourists. Most of the time the conversations focus on how tough things are, but occasionally you have an opportunity to talk to very interesting and unusual people. I waved and called out, “Where are you headed?” That is the way bicycle tourists signal that it is time to chat! John was on a long trip starting in Utah and headed to Maine. His gear was of the highest quality. He was riding an immaculate, blue Surley touring bicycle with an Ortleib handlebar bag and Ortleib rear panniers. I told him I liked his touring set-up. John seemed both very competent and very humble. Those are not traits that you often see together in one person. I already knew he was an experienced cyclist based on observing his very smooth pedal stroke and the way his bicycle was adjusted. I asked if he had enjoyed crossing the Judith Mountains. I explained that I had traveled through Lewistown several times. He replied, “It was so beautiful it made me think about God!” How often do you get an answer like that? Sincere and straight from the heart! I told him I agreed that the scenery was inspiring. His reply really knocked me out. With a smile he said, “I’d rather think about God while I am bicycling than think about bicycling while I’m sitting in church!” I thought about all my Sunday morning bicycle rides over the years. I have always thought of the outdoors as a magnificent church, beautiful, inspiring, inclusive, and healing. All you need is a Sunday morning and a bicycle! I thanked John for sharing his thoughts regarding Sunday bicycle rides! We shook hands to confirm our mutual understanding of how beautiful the world is, and then we continued on our respective journeys.
