1st I'm a returning to cycling after 22 years having a goal of riding with my son from Santa Barbara to Monterey California in may of 2010. In this aspiration I will have a training diary.
2nd I've lost 50lbs to date and want to lose 2o more to be ready for life not just the ride. So I'll include food I've munched and why. I believe in "everything in moderation including moderation".
3rd and finally to discuss politics, religion, love, hate...you know average guy stuff.
So what qualifies me to be average guy? I had average parents who grew up penniless during the depression. My dad fought during WW2 and went on after the war to work for Santa Fe Railroad from the 50's and 60's. In the 70's and 80's he worked for BART in the San Francisco bay area. Very average.
My mom moved from Missouri after high school to seek excitement in S.F. only to fall in love and marry after shortly arriving in the bay area.She raised three kids and worked for the school dist into the 80's. They had a house, two cars two dogs, one cat and went on vacation every other year...again very average. That's my story and I'm stiken' to it.
Santa Barbara to Monterey California!!! That is amazing, but I think you need me with you two!... (That is if you can keep up...) Is this some sort of father son bonding adventure? If not I have a bike and the passion...
