since I've been here... I lost a ride buddy to Pancreatic Cancer on Nov 8... and with his death, my motivation left me for a while. His wife, he and I rode together all the time... (tprevost... if you read this, it was Mac. The black guy with us when we rode together )

Anyway, I'm ready to be back on the bike again. I don't have any specific goals now... just wanna get out and feel the wind in my hair and the sound of everyone clicking in when we take off. Not many people understand that but I know you all will.

I leave for a 2 week active tour (hiking, kayaking, snorkeling) of the Galapagos in 3 weeks and it's been good to have that to look forward to.

Hope this finds everyone else healthy and happy! I look forward to my return to riding...
