Rider #374
-38 hrs.:
We’re still up in the air about a full commitment to doing a single day ride.
My thinking is that we shoot for a minimum of 150miles and/or 12hrs on the bike. Of course, if we get to the 12hr. mark and we are at 170 I think we’ll just shoot for doing it […]

Getting all set for our September UK trip.

I was recently talking with someone about technology, computers, software,innovation, and how new technology/ideas come to be. We got onto the topic of blogging, and I mentioned that it seemed like we (I) missed the boat (again) on that. I look at things like blogger.com / radio and can’t help but think “Why didn’t […]

So we went and saw href=”http://www.acoustic-alchemy.net/”> Acoustic Alchemy tonight We saw them a couple of years ago at the same place, and it was just as good. I guess you could say this falls under the passion topic. I love seeing people who love what they do and are great at it.
