One of my favorite verses
One of my favorite verses: Ezekiel 25:17 - The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish, and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers, and you will know my name is The Lord, Keep reading [...]

Joe Amadeus Stanton, RIP
Joe Amadeus StantonAugust 25, 1996 - August 10, 2008When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. Kahlil Gibran
Joe was born some time in August of 1996. He was a gift from Donna's sister to her father on his birthday on September 17, 1996 - carried home in a shoe box. Everyone that saw Joe as a puppy commented on his big paws - "that's gonna be a big dog!" Yes, they knew Joe Keep reading [...]

Personal Email Addresses
For the second cycling season, I've been the Ride Coordinator for the Harpeth Bike Club. While managing lots of personal email addresses, I'm amazed at the people that are locked into their Internet Service provider by using the ISP-provided address.What does this mean? Many use @comcast.net as their email address. They sign up at their bank with it. They sign up to ebay with it. They subscribe to mailing lists. Their whole life is connected to that email address.Problem Keep reading [...]

Nashville to Henry Horton SP and Back
Ah, my first overnight self-supported bicycle tour. I had been on many week-long and overnight supported rides, including the BRAT twice, RAGBRAI once, Tour de Cure and Jack and Back numerous times. Since I'm going to ride the Natchez Trace in September, I figured I'd better test the system. For my first self-supported ride, I needed a moderate distance, and I wanted to ride from my doorstep somewhat close to downtown Nashville. In 2007, BRAT rode without me, starting in downtown Nashville, first Keep reading [...]

I read a post on the Harpeth Bike Club email list this evening and it was text about how to deal with an angry dog. I thought I recognized the formatting and the story. Yes, it was Ken Kifer's article on Coping with Dogs. It reminded me of Ken's website and other sites that inspired me when I first started cycling. I thought I'd share a few things about them both.Ken Kifer had ridden an estimated 100,000 touring miles over his years of cycling in Scottsboro, AL. He was run down Keep reading [...]

Tour de Cure 2008 is complete!
Did we make it? DID WE MAKE IT? Yes, we rolled in about 5 or 5:30 to the welcoming party in the square. They had a marching band, cheerleaders and a karaoke machine. Someone must have known we were coming. Just kidding. Keep reading and you'll find out why the square was deserted! Regardless, it was a great weekend for the American Diabetes Association. Day 1 was pretty routine with some headwind, and naturally the finish with the ride up the mountain. Donna did a great job volunteering Keep reading [...]
