Stay Well My Friends
I have had a nice little string of weeks where I feel healthy. With so many of my friends battling sinus infections, hacking cold coughs, gnarly flu, and overall feeling lousy I thought I’d share what’s working for me. Alka-Seltzer nighttime got me sleeping much longer hours, 8+. I’m off it now, but I highly..
The Journey Is Better Than The Race
The race is good and usually fun and sometimes provides a stroke to to the ego. The journey involves dedication, commitment, persistence, vision, huge goals, friendship, experience. More preparation or a longer journey nearly always equals a better race. For me it all comes together the night before the race. My gear is before me...
I’m sorry.
To all my wonderful clients and friends I want to apologize for biting off more than I could chew. In October, the company I worked for chopped my pay in half. Panicked, I quickly added jobs and hopefully income: – resurrecting my old promo business; – independent repping Serfas, Scott, Bonk Breaker, and others; –..
It Takes Guts To Be A Giver
The gumption required to break away from the pack. The will to be on the tip of the group. The passion to get the gang together and train hard. The fire to build a following. … For the truly successful it’s a gift to the rest of us, one always I’m grateful for. Remember that..
Who do you love?
I haven’t walked “47 miles of barbed wire”, but I can wail that question with some of the tension George Thorogood explodes in his classic song, Who do you love?. The people we ride with are often a reflection of how we see the world. Are all your rides hard core, all business? Do you..
A good lesson
One of awesome customers called me up and said… “The gear looks great. Thank for the good service.” I’m sure lots of customers think of doing that, I know I do. He actually did it. So, I got on the horn and thanked my vendors that helped me deliver on the order. Short. Sweet. 30..
Please don’t hate me for loving
Entertainment… that’s all professional sports are. Lance was/still is? the greatest entertainer ever in cycling. The only upset people should be those who weren’t entertained. ALL his sponsors got/still get huge bang for the buck. Now for all the amateurs that dope – Hang ’em high! Oh, and all those that really care and are..
Not So Sure
When I go for a ride and the average temperature is 37 degrees… in Califorina… well, I am forced to remember how sure my high school teachers were that we’d all freeze in an Ice Age by now and that the food supplies would be exhausted. It doesn’t mean they were wrong, it could still..
Join Our Cult
I love cycling, it’s not secret. And, I’m constantly inviting and encouraging people to ride. Some get it right away, some take years. But, when my friends do start to ride this is a common response.
4,000,000 feet pounds
Since I’ve been too sick to ride for a week… I thought I’d post this from 12 years ago. There are events designed for fun, events designed for competition, and then there are events designed for pain. I’m not quite sure why I go for the pain. Maybe it’s that I’m not that fast, or..
Why I Love Strava
Need I say more? No, but I will. Matt Ford happens to annihilate me every Tuesday morning on The TMWC. He’s a beast. But somehow, some way, there’s a Strava segment where, for the time being, I own him. Scoreboard. For sure, he’ll go out and smash my time. So for now, I will bask..
