My view at the end of my cycling day.

After almost two months of sitting around with a dead battery, Dominique is revived and happily running. I still love the Mini, but I haven’t really been missing driving a much as I would have suspected. Still, I’m glad to find out that the fix was pretty simple and that I have a car again when I need one.

It is always a little strange running into people from your distant past. Peter and I went to high school together though we never really knew each other. Still it’s fun to see what people have gotten up to 15 years after you knew them.

I hadn’t driven to work since early September and my drive home in traffic reassured me that I don’t miss that type of commute.

Runner Up:

It was just one of those weeks where I felt the urge to check my finger tips to see if bone was showing through. Hopefully, this week will be easier . . .

If I was a gum “chewer”, I really don’t know where I would begin.

The wind was blowing across the lake at 30-40 mph and with the amount of lake bed exposed, the dust in the air was quite impressive.

This year I’m chairing a subcommittee for the 2012 Tour de Cure ride in Mustang. This ride raises critical funds for diabetes research and advocacy through the American Diabetes Association. Diabetes is a major health risk in Oklahoma. In fact, according to Kaiser Health, in 2010 over 10 percent of Oklahoma’s population have been diagnosed with diabetes. This is a situation that needs your help! The Tour de Cure will happen on June 23rd, 2012. [Read More]

I tweeted about this during the last OBS meeting, but the OBS is putting together a great bicycle oriented fundraiser for the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. On November 13th, cyclists will be given seven locations and seven items to pick up. At each pick up, riders will be given a playing card. Best poker hand at the end of the ride gets the grand prize. All riders are welcome, just bring a bike and a bag. [Read More]
