by

The early part of this year hadn’t been great for productivity — except for the on-bike training. I think that part of my struggle was to integrate my training time with my other productivity time. Now that I’ve settled into my flow, I’m getting more and more stuff done. Consistent Training After a solid February, … Read more

Accomplishments: February 2026

by

After a January in which I failed to be as productive as I intended, I set some lofty goals for February.

Goal: Paris-Brest-Paris 2027

by

Everyone should have a BHAG. Mine is to ride and complete Paris-Brest-Paris, a 1200-kilometer (750 freedom units) brevet spread over 80-90 hours, depending on which wave you ride in.

On Writing

by

So as part of my ongoing 101 Things in 1001 Days, I have a large amount of writing to do. That said, my writing skills have kind of gone rusty from disuse. Writing has become a Sisyphean task, to say the least. What’s good, though, is that I’m having more and more ideas as of … Read more

Accomplishments: November 2025

by

The agenda for this month was to keep hammering at the 101 Things in 1001 Days. I’ve been making a ton of progress in it lately, but I also knew with the start of the holiday season I was going to be pressed for time, so I targeted two particular tasks: In the end, it … Read more
