A Note to Ethan P.

Ethan P,

Thank you for your concern over the state of this blog. It is true that before this post there was a two month drought in my posting. Part of this is due to me not really riding that much. Dreary weather, a couple of minor colds, and general laziness over the past couple of months have kept me inside on the weekends instead of on the bike. When I have gone on rides recently, it hasn't been very interesting. I doubt that you really want to hear about the 10 mile mountain bike ride at Harris lake where nothing particularly exciting happened or the half and hour I spent on the trainer. Another reason for the post drought is that I am really getting into NCSU basketball. Those guys have shown me just how long of a drought you can go on. I used to think that six or maybe seven minutes of game time without scoring was all that was possible at that level of play, but this team has come together and broken the ten minute mark. What an inspiration.

Anyways to answer your question, this blog is not dead. I have at least a couple of entries left that will stem from my fast approaching trip out west for Tour de Cali, an Old La Honda time trial to take on your family record, hanging out with frequent commenter Spur, and other fun that will certainly be had. After that, who knows. The existence of this blog is at least partially dependent on you making me do interesting things with my bikes. As long as you are able to talk me into some mountain trips, races, or other two wheeled adventures then I will write on here to inform the rest of my two readers about what we did. So you should really be asking this question to yourself, not me. Let me know what you decide.

Your beloved blog author,
Andrew P.
