Bikepacking Trip – Part Two – Lessons Learned

By on January 8, 2022

Really? An update almost FOUR YEARS AFTER your trip? You have got to be kidding!!!? Well, unfortunately, I’m not. I don’t really have a good excuse as to why I didn’t update it, other than I was finishing my bachelor’s degree, but again, no real excuse. So, to my zero (0) subscribers, I’m sorry for […]

The Challenge

By on February 20, 2020

Sitting at dinner tonight, looking at my most recent “bad decision”, I thought, “hmm, I wonder how close I can get to my former self when I was in really good shape?” Of course, “good shape” is completely subjective, and to me, “good shape” may be stunningly mediocre to you, but at one point in […]

See ya later, bye 2019!

By on January 2, 2020

“See ya later, bye”, is what comes to mind when I think about 2019 coming to an end. It wasn’t without its triumphs though, but the overwhelming majority of this past year has been a complete and total shit-show. Allow me to provide some context for clarity. The year started off with good intentions. In […]

On a Steel Horse I Ride…

By on December 31, 2016

Well, maybe not steel, more like Alpha Platinum Aluminum to be exact. Since the invention of bicycles, there has always been a special bond between kids and their two-wheeled counter parts.

through the eyes of the Average Joe

Thank you for visiting my blog! For many years I have wanted to start a blog, but for one reason or another, I never did. My blog will cover a wide variety of topics from the perspective of the “Average Joe”. To my mom and close friends, I’m sure I'm special, but to the rest of the world, I’m really just your normal, average guy motivated by food and boobs.

I started a blog because I enjoy writing and “telling my story”, but aside from a few requirements for college, I didn’t have an outlet. Most of my entries will be about things I enjoy doing and places I enjoy visiting. I will provide some detailed information that the “average Joe” may be interested in, but I will not fill these pages with stats and figures and other items that will put most of you to sleep. Uncle Google will gladly provide that information to you if you ask nicely.

For the most part, things will be light-hearted and fun. Feel free to get involved by leaving a comment and/or suggestion. I believe in freedom of speech so it’s okay to disagree with my opinion on pretty much anything, but please, just do it respectfully.

Cheers,

Joe
