I started this BLOG as a way to promote\/document my Roadracing. Before that I started working a MSF rider coach, not much before, only about 9 months. So this blog has the two completely intertwined. With the major changes that happened in 2020, you know, covid, a lock down, a total knee replacement, followed by some job changes, I was forced to do things differently with the training business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m still training riders, just on a MUCH smaller scale. This has left me with not as much to post up on the blog around the topic of motorcycles. They are still my world! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have just found a few other things that give me a great deal of purpose and joy. I actually get to spend more time riding and not only going out to help others learn how to ride. It is giving me back the pure joy I felt when I bought my first moto. I also get to spend my time learning new things, like art, gardening, home improvement, and some more new cooking techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is why there are now more Random topics showing up in my BLOG. I like to think I’m becoming more well rounded individual. I don’t mean physically, either. That is going in the other direction, as I have been working on getting fitter again. I miss the endurance\/strength I had when I was racing or training horses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This perspective change is also why there are hardly any posts for 2024. I spent the year floundering around looking for things. I still feel like that lockdown depression didn’t really hit me until it was coming to an end for most everyone else. That TKR I had at the end of 2020 left me not able to do as much as I had hoped for a couple of years. It wasn’t until 2024 that I finally stopped having knee pain that was related to the surgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will also say that being a supervisor has given me a lot less freedom to run off and do things like I used to do. It’s a trade off, one that I’m coming to like more, but the first few years… not so much. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
