The non-resolution.

My life doesn’t change much between December 31 and January 1.  I’m still not a morning person, I am still tempted by a piece of chocolate cake and I still spend most of my days in cycling shoes and wool shirts.

This year has one small exception inspired by Luis, who you recently met.  Luis grew a moustache for the new year saying it would “Help him be more ‘Portland.’”  I wanted to make one change too even it it wasn’t as profound:  Love the ride.

Since opening a small business the hours I have worked have impinged on my ride time, my motivation to bust out a 50 mile loop before work, and my desire to hit the sack early so I can get up and do it again.  I miss those days and so, those days are coming back.

So, in the spirit of the ancient Cycling Zodiac, this is The Year of The Ride.  And to that I say, Bring it!
