First Blog - hey don't expect too much

This is going to be a bit of a diary, a rant, some deep thinking and some shallow thinking. I will add to my profile eventually.

I am married and the father of two girls who keep me occupied, and a home owner that keeps me broke. ( aside from my own frivolity).

The things I like are bikes, fitness, outdoors, gadgets, philosophy, religion - if not religiousness, and photography, all of  which I am okay at but don't know a lot about.

So why am I blogging - well to track my own thoughts on fitness, bikes, and philosophy. Record successes and developments and analyze failures.

My goals are to get fitter, ride more, bike less, develop my career or business and be a better husband and father. All of which play off against each other for my time and attention.

So to anyone who reads this welcome.

Bikes - I have too many ,but yet crave more not to ride necessarily but to admire. Though always would like the " right" bike for the ride. Instead of having one bike, where the right bike is the one you have. This has led me to the conclusion that choice creates stress, a theme across many lives in this day and age.

I use the example where I come to you and say " Congratulations you've won an all expenses paid trip to Italy" versus Congratulations, you've won a trip to the value of $5000 dollars, where would you like to go?" 

here ends blog one!
