I can imagine that many look at my riding habits and think I have a lot of time on my hands.  Actually, I don’t.  What I have done is to remove other things in my life that are not as important and replaced them with the health benefits, challenges, and enjoyment I get from riding.  While I’m still dealing with business ventures I also get a lot of quality thinking done while riding. However, travel and business activities do take precedence.  Such is the case of the past couple weeks resulting in few miles added to the list.  I’ve signed up for my first attempted 100 miler and have a month to keep in shape as I feel ready to go. Meanwhile, Halloween decorations are starting to fill the surrounding scenery providing some photo opportunities of those that catch my eye.  Total mileage equals 5,561 with 144 miles to go to my next virtual waypoint: Johnson Atoll.  I should be there shortly!
