Can you tell me, friends…that it’s not about the pain?

Posted on July 28, 2010 by Daniel Meyer

Blasting south. Pushing hard…burning miles…making time. Hot. Sore. Dehydrated…beyond the point of rehydration for the day actually…heading for the danger zone. Basically, in the tremendous heat and long day I’m losing more fluids than the body can process in the … Continue reading →

Are you listening?

Posted on July 23, 2010 by Daniel Meyer

They really do talk…if you take the time to listen…and believe. On my commute home…northbound on US75. Traffic was heavy, very heavy…and getting worse the direction I was headed. Up ahead I could see the eastbound ramp to I635 was … Continue reading →

Riding for me…is often a time for reflection. Notice I didn’t say “quiet reflection”. I sing along to music. I scream at thunderstorms. I taunt the things out in the wild that would have my life…or worse… Even more dangerous…I … Continue reading →

Been Grumpy Lately…

Posted on June 25, 2010 by Daniel Meyer

Been a bit grumpy lately…work things…wrecked car things…insurance company hassles. Businesses just don’t seem to care, ya know? They’re generally nice and cheery, and almost gleefully apologize even whilst doing nothing to correct their problem or error… And then they … Continue reading →
