I’m feeling a bit pudgy since the whole weight loss contest. I could use a few excuses about having to start a new job, getting accustomed to it and all that jazz, but in reality, I’ve been WAY lazy. Some day I want to look like this young buck. But our buddy Ryan K. took…
I just wanted to share this with you folks. Nothing fancy, no waterfront scenery or a huge mountain, but it brings me a smile.

Last night I headed out for a slightly unexpected Thursday night ride at the local loop. After the kids were down, my wife graciously let me out of the house to go ride, of course with her obligatory “Don’t do anything stupid” parting phrase. As this was sort of a last minute ride I had…
