I am not much of a morning person. I’m one of those people who doesn’t really come to life or respond to questions until I have had my morning cup of coffee and at least a couple of hours to get my head in the game. My wife laughs at me as I stumble around [...]

I went to a business conference this past week at one of the local military bases to hear more about the future trends in Military construction opportunities. Everyone in my industry knows that military construction spending is at an all time high, and just about everyone is trying to figure out how to get a [...]

Bike racing season is finally in full swing. I am finally healthy. Not up to racing form yet, but healthy which is a start. I spent the past few weeks recovering from my second cold of the season and instead of pushing it really hard on the weekends, I just made sure to keep my [...]

This weekend was another dose of the usual. Another bike ride covering way too long of a distance, way too many hills, and way too much work for a Saturday. Another typical ride that left me useless for the rest of the day and unable to get off the couch. We took the opportunity to [...]

This past weekend, my wife and I went up to the mountains outside of San Diego to spend some time with friends away from the city. We pulled up to our cabin at the summit of Mount Laguna and unloaded our food, bikes, and gear into the wood-paneled living room. Our bedroom was barely big [...]

The benefit ride takes place over two days where participants cover 100-150 miles and help raise money to fund MS research. This year, we elected to do the 150 mile option which consisted of [...]

My father used to ride his bicycle all around town. His commute to work each day was about 20 miles round-trip and he would hop on his bright blue Schwinn bike and head to the office. He had a child seat on the back of the bike that he used to bring me along on [...]

I crashed this past weekend in a triathlon. I was about half-way through the bike leg, and I misjudged a turn which laid me out in a sea of asphalt. Skidding to a stop, my layers of skin were kind enough to save my bike from injury. If only my skin was made of armor. [...]

The older man held four fingers in front of my face as I breathed deep. The clock was ticking down the seconds and my time was near. Nervously clipped into my pedals and held upright by an invisible guy behind me, coffee was sweating out of my pours by the gallon. The countdown was in [...]
