    Today I approach this blog from a different perspective and share with you an industry article I recently published talking about electrical infrastructure. Yes, a good bit technical. The one key takeaway – the AI community is trying to run their machines flat-out all the time. But their business models do not come anywhere near…

    This past week in Southern California brought near perfect weather to increase my base miles with 225 miles as my target. Got off to a good start with a few evening mountain bike rides early in the week followed by a very much planned ‘off’ day for Wednesday as my work schedule was totally slammed. …

  • April – That Was A Good Month Of Training

    Not to mention some great milestones along the way. Like that lap around the Sun. Despite the weather and business travel I was still able to achieve excellent mileage, a PR month at least in the last five or so years. However: I need to be ready to do 3.5 X more when I do…

    Well that is the plan anyway. With May rapidly approaching the RAAM2CC ride is now less than ten months away. Meaning I need to start getting my backside used to some long days in the saddle.  It sounds simple on paper yet stringing four consecutive days to achieve 200 to 225 miles is not as…

    This morning I am doing some 5 x 5-minute power intervals trying to hold 200 – 225 watts for the 5 then cruise / recover for 5 at zone 2 heart rate. Well the outbound leg went great. Reached my Starbucks refueling spot in record time. Saw I burned 640 calories in 1:10New PR of…

    Funny how we make a big deal about birthdays. I know I have certainly been a great example of that kid who can hardly wait for their birthday. A bundle of nervous energy waiting to pounce on anything that looks like a card in the mail, a gift, and oh anyone coming to a birthday…

    All too often one day becomes very much like another. We move through our routine from waking in the morning to preparing to go the sleep in the evening (assuming you have a daytime/daylight-based life/work arrangement) and if we don’t take the time to reflect back, inspect the nuances of the day it just slips…

  • What Is The Best Date to Announce I Am Now The Chief Bicycle Officer?

    I suppose that day is coming soon. I certainly don’t plan to make the announcement on April 1st, no sense in being classified as yet another April Fools’ joke. Clearly the Ride Across America 2 Cure Cancer, 3,000-mile epic bicycle ride from San Diego, CA to St. Augustine, FL is no joke.  The RAAM2CC effort…

    I write this on a Saturday afternoon with 2 big One Dollar lottery tickets in the kitchen drawer. These for the California Super Lotto now sitting at a whopping $13,000,000. Yes that is thirteen million. Before Federal taxes.  Technically the lump sum payout before taxes is probably around 5.9 million. So net after tax is…

    Great question. Certainly worth a lot of thought before proposing a very simple answer.  Stay Active! Oh sure Jack easy for you to say. You are always busy, chasing new goals, dreams, passions, education, and activities. How can we apply Stay Active to being healthy? Well I’m glad you asked. I will expound in more…
