I remember when riding my bike was about speed. How fast can I go and get from point A to point B. Then it was about just going fast. Now it is just about getting on the bike and going slow and steady and enjoying the sights.

My bike has twenty-seven speeds. A small, medium, and large chain ring. Seems a waste since I mostly stay in the small chain ring and am pretty happy. Probably just need nine speeds. Long as I have a granny gear I’m happy. The only way I can get up hills.

Hello January, hello cold bike riding. I guess it beats riding in the rain, but the cold weather makes me urinate more. Wake me when it is spring.

The Gates of Hell at Stanford University. I enjoyed spending a day there. Enjoyed the Cantor Arts Center. Lot of good things to see and the best part was that admission is free.

In the Native American section. Just thought it was cool looking.
