behold, the blog

So to stave off all the voices in my head, I've opted to start a blog.

What spurred this is my approaching trip to the Czech Republic, where I will be the announcer at the UCI World Cyclo-cross Championships. I figured a blog would be a good way for me to communicate the experience.

That said, I've meant to start a blog for some time, with particular encouragement from my lovely wife, Deb. So on this January day from a modest table in a modest home in a modest town in a modest New England community, I've launched my blog.

As I travel - both outwardly and inwardly - I hope to present my observations and a few scraps of evidence on a number of subjects. Much of what I write will be from the vantage point of cycling. You see, I try to live a lot by bicycle. Few individuals can do this without gaining a unique perspective on matters.

I have come to genuinely appreciate the ability to write a concise and piquant "status" update. With that in mind, this blog may prove a modest elaboration on that you find on my Facebook and Twitter pages.

In short, I'll try to keep it short.

Stay tuned, a trip to Prague and Tabor is coming up.
