About this website

This site is a visual and verbal diary of my world. My world is filled with bikes, family and images. I like bikes and I like cameras. I like the way they go together. Joy for me comes when I can capture an image that shows the true feeling of riding. Images here are often experiments and explorations of color, tone and texture.

Heading out

While I have been away doing mostly other non bike things, there has still been a lot of bike stuff going on.   I'm 2 bikes into my 3 new bike build, OK one is only a rebuild but it is almost a complete build.   To follow up on yesterday's post, I still am not sleeping but I need to ride so I am headed out for a ride in the country.  I just need to install my Revelate frame bag and then I'm headed to my favorite gravel and dirt roads in the county.   I'm taking my Fargo and my camera.  I suspect I'll come home muddy as it looked like this area got hit last night with rain.  I need it.  I can't wait.  

Also, last evening, I received a comment from a reader suggesting I move to a Monday, Wednesday & Friday posting.   In all honesty, I've been thinking about that for a long time.   I've talked with some of my friends about it too.   I do think it would help.  But....It still doesn't make the thoughts go away in my head.    Writing stuff down here and sharing it has a soothing effect on me.  It's almost like my brain is full and then I write and it is empty.   I do think it is the right thing to do, but I just haven't been able to do it.    It's also really hard for me after a big trip last week because I have so much to share.    Regardless of when/how I get to it, I sure appreciate the suggestion.    

Today I suspect that my work will increase due to some Eurobike news & action.  We shall see....

Have a great day folks.

I try to never to think about the posting. It usually happens on its own. I can be sort of like therapy and I share WAY more than I should on my blog. Ha! If you can't talk to the WWW about your problems, concerns, joys and bodily functions, who can you talk to?? LOL!

Enjoy your bike building, but enjoy your ride more!

My blog is also an emptying of thoughts / cathartic release mechanism. I used to be better at daily interactions but now I post when time allows as opposed to trying to fit it to a M-F schedule. It's now more of a Sat - Weds fit for me. I'll let you know if it's working. :-)

I'm also curious about the changes and hope aspect of your last post. I'm in very much similar circumstances, as are several others in my age bracket. I'm wondering if it isn't our generations push back against punching the clock and climbing ladders. Are we late bloomers waking up in our mid/late 30's and discovering our passions or is it more of a global economic rethinking of life and values? Curious times indeed.

Best of luck on your journey. Here's to all of us finding the light at the end of the tunnel.
