New Year / New Beginning

So 2018 has come and gone, hopefully 2019 will be a better year. One of my goals is to keep up with this blog.
I have quite a few things planned as far as racing and other bike adventures in the next few months. Looking back over the past 12 months, my life has changed in so many ways. I keep trying to stay positive, but it is really hard some days. Cycling has been my therapy to cope with the everyday stress. I do enjoy getting out by myself and letting my mind wander as the miles pass, but I would gladly give it all up to spend more time with Joy. I was very lucky to get to spend as much time over the past 25ish years with her. I just never dreamed that there wasn't going to be many more to come. I know that life will go on, but I have lost something that can never be replaced.
