Eye Opening

Posted on April 3, 2020 by

With the weather improving, my thoughts have drifted to my bicycle.  No matter how many YouTube videos I watch, it really doesn’t compare with being out on the bike.  Thanks to the coronavirus I won’t be going on club rides … Continue reading →

I Miss Riding My Bicycle

Posted on November 5, 2019 by

Stand Up for Yourself!

Posted on September 23, 2019 by

Disinterested Ride

Posted on June 1, 2019 by
