While relaxing this Memorial Day somewhere on Florida’s sandy shores (location is top secret so the Social Distancing Police don’t harass me) I thought I’d share my thoughts about e-bikes. After all, the world is waiting with bated breath to read my thought-provoking insights or maybe they’re hungry for anything other than COVID-19 news! Get … Continue reading E-Bikes…My Thoughts
Tired and 61
I'm using the same training regimen I used at 50 and IT IS NOT WORKING at 61.
Radar Love: Garmin Varia
Varia is a great tool that’s easy to use and feels like I have a riding partner who is vigilant in guarding my “six.”
Winter Riding: Fresh Perspective

Good news and bad news about my '73 ItalVega
