WOMEN'S TOUR:

What a trip?!? Do I consider myself a cycling nerd, NO. Am I an enthusiast, maybe. A fan, YES. I never knew that the women raced the tour back in the 80's. Here is an article from 1984 with an interview by Tim. Racer Marianna Martin was a dominant force back then and I wonder how many of these gals are still alive today. Who Knows 

I was aware of the women racing unofficially on the tour the day after the boys raced as a protest/promotional event back in 2021 or 2019. I don't recall exactly when that was. The women started their official Tour de France July 24rd 2022. I feel as if the women get the shaft because the race coverage is on Peacock Channel and NOT rabbit ears. But it is 2022 after all and maybe there is more coverage demands on those network channels. What Do I Know

HERE is the Tour LeFemme schedule and route for this years tour from the Yahoo dot com site. For Me, I root for those leaders as well as the back of the pack participants. Will plan on gathering all my racing coverage on the good old YouTube links. Go Ladies Go  

CYCLING:

      Early bird eats the worm or collects a lot of black flying bugs in their teeth.

Dawn Patrol sprinklings of wild flower rides are the best attitude changer of all time. Some label swimming , others say hobbies , or even sexual intimacy as their all time best attitude chargers. But for this update, let's just stick with bike rides. 

I am still slow and out of shape for sure and my fitness is sub par for July standards. That four letter word 'work' has really cramped my style this calendar year. But when I ride, I Smile From Ear To Ear! 

Where there once was a beaver damn, creeks ran freely soothing our inner ears of running water. There are days where I am focused with acute awareness of just how pent up I am. Other days, haven't gotta clue as to JUST how bad I am in needed of bathing across the forest floor with a bike between my legs. 

One aspect of happiness is when I used to "hike" with The Boy Dog and he would stop and sit. Smelling the clean crisp air and inhaling with that one big exaggerated happy breath the way dogs do. I would begin to start again and he would give me that one eyed half-moon sclera look with that sharpened tilted eyebrow as if to say," Stop right here human and just be. Don't just look around , see around. Don't just listen, hear your surroundings. Don't just breathe, smell for once in your life."

OFFICE TIME:

Many an evening these days are spent in the office helping others to heal from within. Our local Powderhorn Ski Resort has put a number on some folks this summer. Weekend warriors that allow their machines to transport their bodies at a much greater speed their than bodies can process. Such as, over the bars or clipping a tree with their knuckles. Loads Of Bumps And Bruises 

Other clients, a simple tune up. Lately, a new wave of first timers are walking through the door. First timer clients are almost always satisfied and label the effects post work as feeling lighter and/or taller. Dig That

I leave you here with a time lapse of mine that I take pride in with all the editing efforts. This is a longer video and might be a little busy for ya but I guarantee that this video is worthy of watching in FULL Screen HD and turn it up. This is the best road, in my option, here in Colorado. Allow yourself to enjoy a ride from Durango to Ouary in 6 minutes time.

Keep On Keeping On,

Cheers 

P.S. Congrats To Durango's Sepp Kuss - What A Tour There Boys
