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 Speed of Red


Just when I thought I was getting an idea about this blog I see a change. News paper reporter is OK. Then you know what I want you to know. Not so bad. Not so good to. Is the content of the blog the news of the day or the days? Or is the blog more than the personal Sunday news paper. That few will read. Is the content also the emotion of the writer, and in my case, his stories? Maybe it's just time to put down the lines and let them speak for themselves. Write the truth of the time given.
When I go down to the local bike shop. It's for stuff I can get cheaper on-line for sure. Add the postage and it is close to the same. For some stuff. Feed your neighbors first. The folks down at the local shop will do nice favors for free often or cheap. Take a bottom bracket out. Remove a lock ring to a rear gear cluster so the gears can be changed or cleaned. My tires are one of the items I often buy from the locals. Tires that cost as much as a car tire. More often the bike tires cost more. So it was time to install some new high end tires on the #1 bike. Michelin "Race Pro 2" red and black. The red ones go faster. $54.95 each. Dam! Well, it had to be done. My tires have a lot of miles on them. There beat. Still some miles on them but, cuts and thin where they should not be. Flats out on the road happen. Flats out on the road suck. So it's time for new tires. I'll save these old tires for the #2 bike. Well maybe not. The red ones do go faster!
