The Rest of My Life: December 2009

http://badtastecycling.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

The Rest of My Life. Turning 40, and even 50, wasn't a big thing for me, but turning 60 really got my attention! When I became 60 I began to really think about how to make the most of . The Rest of My Life! Wednesday, December 30, 2009. A Gray Day at Dachau (1964). My other memory was the undeniable stench of rotting flesh. I know it can’t have been actual odor because this was 20 years after the war, but the smell in my nostrils was nonetheless visceral. Monday, December 28, 2009. She and I decided to t...

http://blokeonabikeinthetropics.blogspot.com/2012/09/at-top-of-hill.html

Bloke on a Bike in the Tropics. A slice of my cycling life in the tropics of North Queensland, Australia. 02 September, 2012. At the top of the Hill. I was hesitant about riding up the hill the first time around. Had to do a bit of on-the-bike coaching- telling myself to just keep the pedals cranking over- "Don't rush. It's not a race. You can do this.". The end of summer also is when the harvest is in full swing. We pass orchards on our rides where the trees are heavily weighed under good crops of a...

Random firings across the synapses. Saturday, July 28, 2012. For some reason, i've been missing the band, and levon helm in particular. the band was a revelation for me (c'mon, music from big pink? Musically and otherwise. levon helm had a particular place in my heart. it's my opinion that he did the best solo work of the group. robbie robertson still has places to go. Links to this post.

Bloke on a Bike in the Tropics: Welcome Back....

http://blokeonabikeinthetropics.blogspot.com/2012/11/welcome-back.html

Bloke on a Bike in the Tropics. A slice of my cycling life in the tropics of North Queensland, Australia. 29 November, 2012. So it was a good ride this morning- no rain, unlike yesterday morning when the skies opened up on the way home. As I was finishing my mid-ride coffee, I could see a bit of a squally shower moving across the bay- what were the chances that I could beat the rain? And there has been much else happening:. I have successfully pollinated a few of these:. I'll let you know in 6 months or ...

Bloke on a Bike in the Tropics: September 2011

http://blokeonabikeinthetropics.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Bloke on a Bike in the Tropics. A slice of my cycling life in the tropics of North Queensland, Australia. 04 September, 2011. September- Where Does the Year Go? Today (Sunday) is also Fathers' Day in Australia and Dee and I spent the day on the hop as it were. Not that we usually have a slothful Sunday- just that we usually spend the day puttering in the yard and garden. Today veered a bit from the normal course we steer. And I felt good- even the "morning after" I felt good- 55 km ride with a few good h...

The Rest of My Life! Saturday, May 22, 2010. Mt Whitney Stage Race, May 2010. Steve changed the stage to Horseshoe Meadows, the huge set of switchbacks carved out of the eastern face of the southern Sierras that stares at you as travel south out of Lone Pine. I hardly saw anyone with any bulk at all. It turned out that I ...
