About Me

I'm a bicycle rider. More to the truth I train on the bike to stay fit as I get older. I train to fight off the age. Diebedes, high blood pressure, trigeminal neuralgia, unwanted weight and the problems from that to. There is a host of other age related fun to. I let myself put on 110 pounds over about the last 12 years. Then the body just had enough. I was falling apart. So I started doing the only thing I knew how to do. Train on the bike. I was a competitive Cyclist from 1979 to about 1992. I gave it all up. Bad choice. In the end I would have been far better off on the bike. Oh well. The lessons continue. That's really the truth of it. The lessons continue. Everyday, every moment. Everything is connected all the time. Well, that's how I see the Universe for me. How you see it, is your business. Ah freedom of thought. I got married to a wonderful woman March 21st 2007. The love of my life. It's true! It took all these 58 years to get ready to love this one beautiful woman. A writer of poems. A writer of pros. So many people know her already.

The changes we make


Changes are good, right.
I have altered my diet a lot. No cholesterol in my food, or lowered it by 90%. I feel the difference already. It's an odd feeling. A little dingy. Not as sharp as I was. Though still doing fine. No soft drinks, apple juice only, it is good for you. More than anything is the feeling out on the road. I need to use a lot more deliberate thought about what I am doing. Stay on the road, not in the ditch. So riding has been effected. I am also working on a new position on the saddle to. More forward. This means training my muscles all over again. I need to be patient.
Yesterday was "one of those days". My ride was in the rain for 35 miles. Not so long. It was difficult with the driving wind. Not many cars out. That was nice. Just a ride that was hard from the first crank of the peddles. It was cold to. Back to full winter outfit. My shoes are soaked. Still drying.
Just got the call from my Mom. She fell last Wednesday. She is 82. She did not want to bother anyone. Mary Anne felt she should call on Saturday. We had no idea. Then my Mom came clean because she was in so much pain. We did what we could. She would not go to the emergence room. I take her to the doctors clinic at 11 AM today. Better get ready. My Mom is a real hard headed woman. Difficult. Ah courage be with me now.

Hope your mom is OK. As to my "next big thing," I blame your wife. She got me thinking with that damn book. Guess this is what leaning forward is all about.
