About

This is my personal blog where the detritus and chaff mingle with the precious metals and gems of my mind. It is by definition a work in progress. I write to exercise my mind and develop my ideas and opinions. I strive to remember wisdom is earned not thought out. It is in recognizing our journey in life, not in grand pronouncements on what is or what should be.

Please comment should the urge hit. I enjoy challenges and appreciate the sympathy.

Take care and enjoy.

First Week Post Thanksgiving tradition. Just enjoying the rest of the evening with a family favorite. #charliebrown #thanksgiving Bittersweet ride. I always hate leaving St. Pete because I enjoy riding there so much. The beauty. The infrastructure. It’s awesome for cyclists. This trip was especially good. Glad to get back to my family but will miss Mom and this place for sure. #stpete #cycling #cyclinglife #byefornow #florida #goodvibes Had an awesome time watching the US Crit Championships with my @krtcycling and @qrtcycling fam. @curran_j @jennamariefoley @rema_loves_bikes @amazzzement plus Mom who was absolutely having A BALL! Will have forever memories from this one! Got to meet some amazing racers and athletes. @alec_pedaler @the_alexi_ramirez @danteyoung__ @juswilliamz But most importantly their humanity shown through with their grace to Mom and making her feel seen and welcome. My only regret was I forgot to record the women’s race. I was so in the moment with Mom watching women putting out Watts. This ride back in the August heatwave was no joke. The heat index was off the charts and pushing at just 17 mph had my heart rate in the 160s! So I was smart and watched my heart rate and moderated my speed whenever it got too high. I just rolled with it. Had some awesome views and managed my heat stress well. 🥵🔥🌶️🚴🏽‍♂️💦☀️ Great way to start the Sea Gull Century Weekend…with my @krtcycling and @qrtcycling fam and extended black bicycling club families. The ride out was all about reuniting with folks. The SUPER SPICY ride back was extra dope. I hit 30 mph again with far less draft this time! 🥵🌶️ Of course, @car6on_racing took it up to 6ixteen (37 mph)…LOL Back for another round! Visiting Mom who I took out to dinner for some delicious Pho at @the_glass_noodle. Crit Championships and my @krtcycling @qrtcycling family will be in attendance. Let’s get it! My son in his first race for the season. Schuykill Navy Day Regatta. Number 4 on the boat. Top ten performance on the water (sadly a penalty pushed them down to 12th). He’s stronger than he’s ever been and his form is improving. Definitely a much stronger competitor this year. Celebrating 51 blessed years. God is good! Beautiful weather. Got a draft from a friend! Some awesome scenery and routes I’ve never been on. I was cooking! Check my ride: https://strava.app.link/WpA3LDvVHDb
