99 degI haven't been riding my bike lately so I haven't updated my page.
I having some problems with my neck, Degenerative Arthritis, and biking seems to stir things up so I'm taking some time off.
I went to Shreveport yesterday for an MRI hopefully will get results next week.
I know several folks who have gone under the knife for neck problems and for the most part they seem to have had good luck.
I'm not anxious to go under the knife but when you start having headaches all the time, you do what you have to do.
I'll let you know the verdict as soon as I find out.
If you've been around cycling for the last 30 yrs you should understand that Lance Dopped, but so did everyone else, doesn't make it right but that was the playing field.
Guess they'll go after Eddy Merckx next, yep, he dopped too.

It's that time of the year where I start getting tired of the hot and nasty, I'm ready for some better weather.
Last night it thundered and lightened and the wind blew, we even lost electricity from 8pm until 2:30 am, not good in August, definitely not sleeping conditions, and still no rain.
Today we are cloudy and there is some rain around, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Really enjoyed my ride this morning.
I took my Lottery Ride plus 10, glad I added the 10 cause that's where I ran into my old cycling buddy Jerry Harp.
I stopped by Jerry's house and we had a nice visit, I also got some good info.
Jerry was telling me how he joined a health club in Atlanta, I asked him how much it cost a month, as it turns out he pays nothing, it's taken care of by his "Humana" medicare supplement plan.
Well guess what, I have the same plan, so I think I'll go Monday and check this out, it's a pretty nice fitness center with all the machines and a swimming pool.
On my ride today I was riding for "Big Jonny," at "Drunkcyclist.com," big Jonny is one of those crazy Arizona Mtn bikers but a darn good guy.

Just another day in Paradise.
Got out for a ride this moring and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I got out early enough to where the heat wasn't a big factor and the humidity was bearable.
The weather man says it's going to be a couple of degrees cooler today, will we notice it, I doubt it.
When I finish this update I'm going to clean my bike, there, I've said it so I've got to do it, when I win the lottery I'm going to hire someone to clean my bike.

No ride today.
Today started out kind of rough, first thing, someone posted a pic of "The Evil One" on facebook, I've really had enough of that, second I looked in the back yard and saw a large limb that had fallen from a tree that died last year.
So I end up doing a little cross training with the chain saw, now I remember why I only do this kind of work in the winter, I was soakin wet.
Oh, if you need firewood, come and get it.
Hope to get in a bike ride in the morning, go to do one I haven't done in a while.

Got out this morning for a nice ride, rode to Linden and got me a Lottery ticket, if I win I'll come visit you, I'm sure you'll want me to.
It was a nice ride except for that little bee who somehow got in my jersey and stung me right in the middle of the chest, it did give me something to think about.
