It is the sound of a very faint heartbeat.
This site lost all forms of life shortly after its inception. It’s time to change that.
While it was not my intent to abandon this site after the efforts of 2009, I needed a break, and that’s what happened as a result. That is about to change, as is the intent of this website.
Don’t worry, I still despise cancer…still have a passion to battle it on many fronts…but I’ve gotten older and wiser…and realized this can be much more than a site dedicated to the battle against cancer…although that will always be the catalyst.
Stay tuned…this is bound to get entertaining.

After all of the training I completed in preparation for the LIVESTRONG ride in August, I’ve slowed down considerably, and it’s been nice. I love riding my bike, and often think that I could go for a ride every day, but taking a break is certainly nice as it allows time for other interests.
I will likely ramp up the riding again over the next month, as fall in central Pennsylvania is a great time to ride and enjoy amazing scenery. A camera will definitely be part of my riding gear, because the views around here are worth sharing.
Pictures will follow soon.
Peace!

So, I’m having a moment where things are just “coming together” and it feels pretty awesome…and I wanted to share that in some fashion or another…and really…I can’t come up with a good way to do that right now. I think it’s because I’m trying too hard. Ever have that happen?
Maybe if I describe the moment?
In my experience, emotions are like seasons, one never sticks around long enough, and others stick around longer than you want them to. At this moment, some of the good one’s are present, and man is it nice.
It’s a moment when you feel good from head to toe…because things are right in your world…in this case…my world…but you get the point. A moment when even the not so fun emotions like sadness are even…well…good. Appreciation is probably the word that describes this moment best. Notice the use of the word “moment”…it really is a moment…because like everything else in life…it is bound to change. For this ”moment”…I’m going to enjoy it…appreciate it…share it…for it will be gone…in an amount of time that I do not know…and I’ll be left thinking about how I liken emotions to seasons…again.
Peace!

Adam is a person I knew through a friend…he lost his battle with cancer on Saturday. Rest in peace Adam.

This seems like a logical place to go since we’ve now covered what the deal is and why it came about.
The goal is simple, recruit people to be part of Team Bald Cyclist, so we can create an impact together by raising awareness and money for the fight against cancer.
If I can raise $4,000 and spread the word to as many people as I did this year, imagine what we could do with a team! The possibilities are endless!
We have to be realistic in that something like this will take focus, concentration, determination, patience, and hard work. I’m ready for the challenge!
This will be the place where it all begins…where you and I make a difference, a big difference!
More to come soon!
Peace!

The process of disliking cancer started quite some time ago for me.
I remember seeing my friends grandmother just before cancer took her, thinking, wow, this is what cancer does. At that moment, cancer became an enemy, a marked enemy. I knew that when I got older, matured, and became committed to something greater than myself, it would be fighting cancer. That happened for me earlier this year.
There are three defining motivational factors that really spurred my action this year. First, losing a client to cancer. Second, Eldon’s blog (www.fatcyclist.com), and the recent loss of his wife to cancer, and third, being at mile 78 in the 100 mile LIVESTRONG Challenge ride in Philadelphia, being hot, tired, and in need of fluids, looking up, and seeing these words on the bib of a guy my age (35), “In memory of my wife”. There are other motivating factors, but those are by far the most significant. They touched a nerve…and now I’m going to touch a nerve, with cancer. I’m one competitive guy…so cancer better look out…because I’m just getting started…
Peace!

So, you might be wondering, what exactly is this…this bald cyclist thing that appears to be taking shape. Beyond that thought, you might also wonder why you should be interested and taking precious time out of your day to satisfy your curiosity. Well, here’s the low down…
I’m bald, I like to ride my bike, I hate cancer, and I often find myself enjoying a good challenge…so…why not throw all of that together and see what happens.
What happened was this…

Bald Cyclist is, by nature, a blog. But to me, the creator, the writer, the bald guy, the cyclist, it is much more. It will be a place of inspiration, a community, a place in the world wide web that feels like home…I say “in”…well…because…if you’re like me…when you’re on the web…you’re really “in” the web.
Bald Cyclist is in its beginning stages…hence the basicness of the website and its content. It will improve and develop over time…maybe even with a little help from you. Ok, I’ll be honest…I’m really hoping someone is reading this…or that last statement isn’t going to hold any water.
Ok, for now I’ll say goodbye. But I will leave you with this…
Check back often…because we’re now up and running…and I’m feeling inspired…so this is gonna get good!
Peace!

More coming soon…
