Reflections And Changes (?)

As the one (1) or two (2) of you who read this drivel are keenly aware, the biggest accomplishment of 2011 was the Leaders Park singletrack project. Through many months of blood, sweat, and beers, a small army of volunteers equipped with only hand tools carved three point one (3.1) miles of singletrack trail. I'm proud of being part of the entire process.

Also in 2011 I did manage to get to Fruita, CO for thee annual fat tire festival. I attended the fat tire festival in Rapid City at the end of May as well. I was able to manage the Dakota Five-O mountain bike race which highlighted my inability to train though that race is always the definition of epic, regardless.

As I look forward into 2012 I’m mulling many things over. Perhaps the first (1st) I might mention is my thought I might kill this blog. Now I’m not phishing for requests, pleas, or suggestions to keep this alive – please don’t bother me with that. I am thinking about how to do things in such a way as to bring the most satisfaction to me.

Keeping this going is no burden, really. Maybe if it were gone it would force me, and you, to keep track of each other an old fashioned way – by conversing. I am NOT considering killing my email address. I’m not going to go “full caveman,” but perhaps more of an “old school” direction. Maybe. Nothing is decided yet.

2012 will bring much more traveling, doing, going, riding, adventuring, etc. I’m putting together a list of things to do in 2012 and will then sort it in categories such as “must,” “maybe/probably,” and “if there’s time.” Money is not infinite and neither is vacation time. Priorities will be prioritized.

I’m thinking about, and working on, some other changes for 2012. I’m not even to 2012 yet and it already looks like it is going to be quite a year. Would you care to know what’s going on with me in 2012? If this (blog) is dead, then contact me. You know, the personal touch. That is how I plan to keep up with what’s going on with you – personally. Think first-hand knowledge gained by email, phone calls, or even face-to-face conversation.

How’s that?

Ride On.
