The year is 2014... an Apocalypse!

If you are reading this we might already be dead...

The wife has MONO

she hasn't been able to exercise in months... a living hell!

I have been in a walking boot for weeks...

I haven't been on a bike in 6 weeks...


This house is a Bicycle graveyard. the cobwebs glisten in the sun, we have made friends with the spiders, we have hopes that they will get enjoyment out of our decay of steel, carbon and aluminum.



Closets of spandex, a reminder of the salad days. the days we would look at Rock Canyon with anticipation and joy and not the bitter hatred of days gone past.
Green grass... growing longer and longer as we are incapable of winding our way behind the Scotts Reel mower to clip the little green reminders of life and growing.
We sit in our cave in essence scratching our story on the wall but in reality its just one netflix show after the other. Admittedly we had a problem with the beast before the shut in but now it has all but consumed our life.
We seek a glimmer of happiness by seeking out professional help but to no avail. With them all is lost.
We look out to the outskirts of the world, days on a beach in a tropical paradise. But how do we get there from here?
Planes?
Trains?
Automobiles?
And how tiring is the travel? will it make systems worse and negate the idea of relief in the first place?!

On a good day i tilled the garden but the air has had a crispness that has frightened the idea of planting. We now sit inside with our greens,
 all longing to be out in the spring air pushing ourselves to grow and produce more than we are now.
We but sit inside and wait for the time to be right..
We take care of each other better we take care of ourselves.

Is this the end of our days?

for now we pray for a hope, a future, a time where time does not drag on but floats by like the grass on the trail under foot or wheel, where the charge is up a 10,000 foot climb and not the staircase.

We look to the future and hope to find us there with you, you who are out there keeping the trails clean and happy, leading the way as we once did, living life instead of just living and hoping for a life.

Our love keeps us going.
