Why Riding with a Partner is Good for Your Health

Ok, so riding with a partner isn’t on one of those top ten lists of things to do in 2017 to improve your health, but I bet I have your attention. Maybe there have been a few studies done on how surrounding yourself with others can improve your mood, but that isn’t what I am talking.

What I mean when I say “good for your health” is that riding in groups or with a partner can actually be a lifesaver. I do understand the need to be out on your own. I get it. There is a lone wolf in all of us. Plus, it is unrealistic to get the squad together every time you want to ride, but there is something to say about strength in numbers.

Whether you enjoy getting out on your snowmobile, motorcycle, ATV, or all of the above, think before you ride alone, especially when it comes to long distance runs or unfamiliar routes. Riding in groups or with a partner offers a safety net, in case anything should go wrong along the way.

If you are planning to ride alone, especially long distances or unfamiliar territory, let someone know. Leave as much information as possible, such as your route, any planned stops along the way, and when you plan on arriving at your destination. While this may sound like common knowledge, keep your phone charged and in a safe, dry, waterproof place, in case of an emergency.

Enjoy the ride.

Whatever you do, enjoy the ride. Here’s to the open road, blazing new trails, the sun on your face, and the love of all things motorsports.
