    THE NUMBER 1 REASON TO CUT THE RIDE SHORT

    THE NUMBER 1 REASON TO CUT THE RIDE SHORT

    YEARS AGO, nearly all my rides ended early.  Even on the weekends, I'd head out early and be back by 830 or 9...

    ... because I had another ride to do.

    These were the best rides,
    with my best riders.

    We lived right next to this beautiful canyon, with a pristine singletrack.
    followed by a mile or so fire road climb,
    and a ripping, bermy, flowy ride
    to the bottom.

    The best 5 mile loop for these little troopers, ever.

    It started with a bolt on half-bike thingy and our oldest.

    Then we got ahold of some tiny cranks and a bottom bracket that allowed him to ride and pedal on the back of the tandem, with our second son bolted onto the back of that on the half-bike thingy.

    I loved it.
    They loved it.

    It was a heckuva workout for me,
    with them doing what the could when I really need Full Power!

    26 years ago today, the sassy little sister joined the party...

    ... which is why I needed to cut the ride short this morning.

    We're all gettin' together from her bday and Father's Day, at the beach.  

    The bike riding didn't really take hold...

    ... but, getting outside and doing fun things sure did.

    Manifesto

    Pretty good “for me", is not good enough.

    Only knowing there was nothing left to do will satisfy.

    I demand all the talents God has given me be searched, activated and deployed.

    Giving anything less than everything, is failure.

    I define my wins not by others, or trophies, but by my soul’s golden standard.

    I’m in pursuit of impossible.
