From the Back of the Pace Line – Fake it ‘til you make it 2

We all know the expression—
“You’ve got to get back on the horse!â€Well, sometimes it’s a horse, but it my case it was a bike.
It always starts the same way: a tickle in your throat, a nagging runny nose, an annoying case of the sneezes and before you know it, you are the bearer of a miserable cold. Almost without fail this happens at quite possibly the most inconvenient time: when you are gearing up for a big ride or your next goal is right upon you. This year, I have become all too familiar with getting back on that bike.
On New Year’s Day, I had a sore throat that I just couldn’t shake.A couple of rounds of antibiotics to treat “strep throat†with no avail,led to a series of tests culminating with a biopsy of a nodule on my thyroid.
My doctor called me in on April 1st—yes really, April Fool’s Day, to inform me that I had thyroid cancer. This led to an interesting post on Facebook followed by at least two dozen calls and text messages to confirm my prank, or…
Rudolph’s Revenge IS BACK!

Rudolph’s Revenge is a 30 and 40 mile race on December 20th that takes place in Denton Texas around Lake Ray Roberts. Riders will sprint up the Lake Ray Roberts Greenbelt, to Isle Du Bois State Park and then finish 1 or 2 laps of the most challenging trail in DFW.
Prepare to suffer while trying to match the breakneck speeds on the greenbelt or crumble to your knees while riding the rock strewn trail of Isle Du Bois. Racers will have to be multi-disciplined in order to…

OASIS BREWING COMPANY RIDE – Saturday September 20th at 7:30am at Cups & Cones
This Saturday we have a special ride that I hope will be the first of a regular monthly ride. We are going to do about a 50 mile ride that will start from Cups & Cones and will end at the Oasis Brewing Company. Another special treat is that this Saturday is the first day of Oktoberfest the Oasis Brewing Co will be featuring a seasonal brew and the Noble Pig will offer a special German menu.
Both the brewery and Noble Pig will be open for us so we can roll in whenever we want. The first beer will only be $1 if you are in spandex. We can bring our bikes up to the…
Sticky Trails With A Fallen Tree Led Me To The Gateway Park Trinity River Vision Boondoggle Master Plan Propaganda
Durango Texas
I was in a bad mood this morning, an after effect of a raging political printer debate last night on Facebook which left me exhausted.
A long swim, early this morning, under the sliver of light provided by a skinny crescent moon did little to alleviate my bad mood.
So, I decided some fast wheel rolling on the Gateway Park mountain bike trails would be just what the Mood Doctor would prescribe if I had a…
