Really lame blogging
I admit it–I’m a really lame blogger. I think my main problem is that I’m a perfectionist. I want each entry to be entertaining for everyone to read without going into too much detail to bore people. So, I end up starting entries each week and writing at least an outline of the major events I want to blog about, figuring I can finish it and make it interesting later. That technique isn’t so much working. It probably takes me a couple hours to finish a single entry that way and I’ve been riding so much that I don’t have evenings and weekends free to sit and blog.
But we did just take a vacation to Hawaii so I had some time off from everything. I brought my laptop with and was able to at least able to flesh out the rides I had done so far. I’m still not comfortable with what I’ve written. Some of the entries I think are too long and boring. Others I think are too short. But, I can’t keep putting this off forever, so I’m going to post all the entries I have so far. As I mentioned, these were all started at the times that they happened, but the blogging software will put today’s date on all of them. I’ll put the date that the ride occured on each of them so you the reader don’t get confused. I’m also going to post this message at the beginning and end of this block of posts so people who start from the oldest or most recent will get to read this.
