Ever heard the old saying, “There is no such thing as a free lunch?”
People usually say it when someone talks about getting something for free. As in, “You know junior, there is no such thing as a free lunch! Someone, somewhere is paying for that! you just don’t know it!!”
Well ladies and gents, I had an amazing last few days, and sure as hell, all the fun stuff was free! It started me thinking, a lot of the coolest things to do at the ocean really are free! … Continue reading “Free fun!!”
People find this hard to believe sometimes, but I really an introvert. Yes I know I can loud, and yes I was a corporate trainer for years, and yes my job now deals with easily 20 people or more a day on the phone, but I really am an introvert.
Given the choice I ride the bike alone, back in my mountain days I would hike alone,
And Michelle and I really like to just hang out in the quiet of our own home….
But, since Thursday we have done anything but be home… Continue reading “How did this happen?”
Is anyone else surprised that this is the last day of January?? Seems like the year just started. yet here we are with Groundhog Day just around the corner.
I will take a minute to brag. With a combination of indoor miles on the trainer and outdoor rides on the weekend, I have cranked out 376 miles this month! Plus who knows how many miles walked on the beach and walked (even ran!) on the treadmill. I am kicking the winter food binge smoothness and getting back to what I want to be, one bad assed cyclist! More on that to come.
But I digress, this is about this week, and damn I liked it, especially the last 3 days. Continue reading
A year ago, Michelle and I were getting excited. The finishing touches were being put on the house, the Mighty P had given its final blessings and Mark, Kim and Rob were on board to come up and help move us south.
We were looking forward to so many things. Watching whales and seeing eagles, beach walks and crashing waves. Sunsets and wind storms. Tide pools and light houses. Good wine and good food, and just flat being together at the coast.
One thing I hadn’t thought about though, was the night sky… Continue reading “The night sky puts on a show”
With the new year, like many people, I have been trying, with a lot of help from Michelle, to get the body back in shape after too much good food, too much wine and not near enough miles on the bike in November and December. I am doing both rides on the trainer in the garage, as well was using the treadmill. I am also doing my best to get out each weekend for at least one outside ride.
I have to time it right with the weather, but so far I have been 3 for 3. I wasn’t sure if this weekend was going to happen though. Continue reading “A great beach weekend”
Remember when this blog was mostly about cycling? When post after post would be about the miles traveled and the things I had seen. Well spring and summer are a coming, and those posts will be coming back. But I gotta tell ya, winter at the coast has been amazing! Even without the bike… Continue reading “Never know what you will see!”
So here we are, in 2019. Fresh new year! Who knows what lies ahead in the next 12 months…
Today, I did something I hadn’t done in over 40 days, I rode the bike outside… Continue reading “It was a LONG dry spell….”
