5 days agoYou certainly may. I'll get that picture out to you but, of course, you probably already have a lot of pictures of this guy. None of them autographed, though. :-)
Also, that's kind of amazing that you read all of my blogs!
May I be the first to claim that awesome prize you offered to anybody who has read all of your cycling blogs?
5 days agoGood to see that you’re back. I missed you!!
6 days agoSounds like pretty solid advice to me.... thanks!
6 days agoFrom reading your list of things you didn’t use, it seems like the vast majority would be things that you would prefer not to use if at all possible. So, seems like a win to me.
6 days agoGreat! I was absolutely freaked out when you went MIA!
6 days agoRegarding the shoulder osteoarthritis, here's some unsolicited advice from a 72 y.o. - the advice is worth at least twice the amount you paid for it. Approx. 10 years ago, I began developing some shoulder pain, which my GP determined was due to arthritis - he offered me some pain pills but I declined - I began "treating" this pain by doing a few pushups every morning. It's embarrassing to admit that 3 "good" pushups (all the way down and all the way back up) was about all I could manage when I first commenced. I did my pushups every morning and every other month or so I added 1 until I was doing 10 pushups. I do these religiously - it's almost the first thing I do every morning - so for 10 years now I have been doing my pushups first thing every morning, even if I wake up in a tent. The pain went away after a few months of my daily pushups - using the shoulder (or whatever joint the arthritis is affecting) is a pretty effective treatment. Just sayin' - I've been there and I found what I think is a good way to fix that problem. Strengthening the shoulders also makes long days in the saddle a bit easier as we do put some stress on the shoulders when leaning forward. I know you have considerable medical expertise considering your own background, you can always consult with your live-in doctor wife, and you certainly don't need any "medical advice" from an earth scientist, but I'm just offering some real-life patient experience from a fellow cyclist. It works for me, YMMV.
6 days agoWhen I take another vacation from my vacation, I'll post it here... so you have to keep reading. :-)
6 days agoWelcome back Mark!!! For the record, I have read all of your posts, and I have had many laughs. Please be careful & don’t become a speed bump! PS, if you take a “vacation” please text or call me to let me know! Cheers!
6 days agoWelcome back. Great timing too, we’re just a few days away from finishing our ride so I’ll have more time to follow along . BTW, what size are your feet? I’ll send you some boots.
6 days agoI would, but I'm not sure if the Alligator Slide would work on a chicken... could be risky.
2 weeks agoYou took that alligator, I'm sure you could take the chicken. That would have also been a good photo shoot.
2 weeks agoInstead of show-off, my dad says "bragger". Funny, I said bragger in my head before I read your caption.

We will.
