I was climbing the walls yesterday. The “Vacation” has been dragging a bit and it was time for a change. We promised not to ride so we went and did something as a family….then when we got back….I went on a ride. Part of the bargain was that I had to be out and back …
No…not the name of some middle-eastern special agent….rather it is what I decided to grow to entertain myself while on vacation. Taking a line from David Zabriskie and Steve Cozza I decided to grow the latest in cycling accessories. Zabriskie – Who every American man wishes he was. Cozza on Right with Dr. Lim on …
http://www.myfoxgulfcoast.com/myfox/pages/News/Detail?contentId=6900006&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=3.1.1 I was riding today and got to a 1/2 way point and had to dodge all of the police and ambulances heading back towards the direction I came from.

As I type this I am sitting in a hotel room in Alabama. I am on my way to the Redneck Riviera otherwise known as Gulf Shores, AL. I have a week at a beach house on the Gulf in front of me. Sun, sand, shrimp and beer….and the entire extended inlaw family. This year …
