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.

Time and the Reaper



Time has a way with us. We think time is ours to use. I think time is a winner, all the time. Resent religious news will affirm that. The Reaper did his work.
I had a long posting waiting to be finished. Not enough time to finish it. Not enough time to make the posting just right. Poof, it was gone in a miss key. Start all over now with a new view on time. It's been busy. Just busy. Not enough ride time. Not enough cleaning time, Not enough time to do much. Though time was used somehow.
Last Thursday it was my first ride on Alpenrose Velodrome since 1992. It was butterfly's all over again. Meeting a new friend once again. Learning to ride the walls and not fall off. 43 degrees is the banking on the walls at Alpenrose. It looks like it just will not hold your bike on them. BUT, it does. I did the walls of Alpenrose again. We are not friends all over again. Though Alpenrose was kind and willing to get to know me again. Thanks for that.
