It is always nice to get on the bike and go for a ride. Sometimes it is a long ride or  a short ride. But as long as I’m on the bike I am good.

When I’m on my bike it is like a mini vacation. There is a lot to see. On my days off I just have to decide on a route and go.

In my younger days I should have just hopped on my bike and went riding all over the country. I got caught up in Corporate America and the American dream trap. That didn’t fare too well.

Some say, “You are older and no bills why not go now?” Sounds like a plan but I have a retirement plan with Calpers. Unfortunately I don’t put into social security and I won’t get my full social security. No double dipping allowed. Also I want to have some money coming in when I retire. I know it sounds like an excuse but everyone is wired different. I envy the people who just go and deal with everything as they come. I have to have a plan and a back up plan and another back up plan.

So I just ride where I’m at and enjoy the sights and see new things.
