I’ve been slow to write this blog but I’m back. The problem is keeping it interesting, if not for you, whoever YOU may be, at least for me.

With few exceptions, those being my riding buddies from up north, I’m not a real big fan of the Winter People. “You mean snow birds, right Ray?” I first read the term Winter People in a Randy Wayne White novel, can’t recall which one, but I liked it. Yes I know the local economy, shops, restaurants [...]

Floridians really don’t have to deal with waking from a long winter’s nap. When we spring ahead it just means that we  have more light at the end of the day to ride. I’m looking forward to resuming my 10 to 20 mile evening rides. Add a few intervals here and there and it makes [...]

I’ve been slow to write my blog lately due to the excitement and distractions of buying and moving to a new house. My wife and I have done this many times in our lives and it’s funny how our priorities have changed. In days gone by the priorities were good schools for the kids, maybe [...]

I must be quite the sight for the neighbors to see. I’m out on my bike at the crack of dawn dressed in my colorful spandex ensemble covered with logos that must seem very foreign to them. “Whats’ that written on the back of his shorts Edna?” ” Don’t know for sure Mable but it look [...]

The Book of Heiseah was never purged  from the estimated original 600 books of the Holy Bible by Emperor Constantine. It was not rejected by the Protestants nor was it discovered by a Bedouin herder in a cave near what is now the West Bank. The Book of Heiseah is new, appearing before your very [...]

I’M not a big fan of the multi-use recreational trail but Punta Gorda Florida has a nice one. It’s called the Ring Around The City and it includes a Harbor Walk. It’s a great pathway into the surrounding space.  The sections that tracks along the Peace River and Charlotte Harbor are not be missed. Let [...]
