Bicycling Adventures

Bicycling is more than fitness. It's personal. As a youth it was my escape, my freedom. Later in life bicycling was where I could safely contemplate my life's journey. Through cycling I met Melissa, and my world changed. Bicycling has led my recovery from the Crab.  It's shown me what I can accomplish. Yeah, it's personal.
