Hello everyone, this is Richard Ending(?) in from Dick's Sporting Goods about to head into work at noon. It's Thursday, what's today, the 26th of August. Just wanted to do a little audio thing here and apologize to everyone for not posting anything in 10 11 days. I've been very very busy. Dick is working me quite a few hours this week. The bike rebuilding business has been quite a bit larger success than we anticipated. So we've been busy rebuilding bikes. The person I hired to help me didn't turn out too well. That he built, he worked on 4 bikes and 3 of them needed to be reworked when he was finished. So that relationship has ended but that means I've got 3 bikes that I gotta redo

Good morning one and all on this beautiful Saturday morning July 31st 2010. I'm sitting in front of the Exporting Gears(?) ready to go to work and I had a beautiful ride in this morning 7mi in about 23 minutes it's about 18mi an hour average fastest time ever fastest average speed ever. It was a great ride we have 60's(?) few clouds in the sky sun coming up behind me just an absolutely gorgeous day beautiful morning for riding and I get to work in bicycles today. That's right some people have been fired or move to different a store kinda do a different job and so bit short handed so I was supposed to start working in bicycles next week but they were realized they were short handed this morning so I had to come in early go to work at 8:00 and start working in bicycles bicycles ___.

Good morning Al, it's morning here in Denver we're at Colorado actually. 12:01am. Just had an interesting thought. Yesterday if you've read the blog you know I wrote about 30mi and I smoke less than a pack and a half of cigarettes yesterday with all the riding and work and all. I didn't have time to smoke Mark(?). Today however I only rode about 14mi and I smoke 2 ___. While I was on the road from Phoenix there were days where I smoke less than one, one pack of cigarettes which is like a record for me in 30 years. So my thinking is I should live on the road but I should have hop on my bike and ride perpetually(?) that way I'll see smoke less probably but eventually quick. So I guess.

I just wanna let you all know I finally get to spend the day with my daughter and son of mine Randy and Dave. Was great.

Couple of points to hear and to see how happy she is

Good morning one and all. It is Sunday May 16th 2010. It's a beautiful morning in Colorado and it means I've been in Denver. The Denver Metro Area for a month. Every seems possible that I finished the ride a month ago. I got to town on April 14th, late Wednesday afternoon and I just almost can't believe that I've been here a month. Or that the spring has felt like winter to me. Today is beautiful, it's gonna be nice and sunny. The wind and rain and storm is supposed to stop for a couple of days. We might get a little weather early next week and then looks like sunny and clear with a very slight chance of precipitation for the rest of the month. Just

Happy bike month to you happy bike month to you happy bike month to everyone please get up and ride. Good morning all it's May 1st and it's the first day of National Bike Month so posted a link on the blog. Excuse me. I posted a link on the blog to a safe that will help folks get started in bike commuting if they would like to. It's the site is called the bike freedom dot com and it's a quick look on how to begin bike commuting safely and enjoyably(?). I know a lot of people think bicycling to work is very dangerous but of course if you do it properly like most things, it's not. I believe it's safer than riding in a.
