What’s that saying about the best-laid plans of mice and men?
I had hoped that last week’s business trip and this week’s vacation would allow me some extra time for writing—unfortunately, the opposite’s proven to be the case.
While I won’t rule-out the possibility of a post or two sometime this week, I’m apprehensive to make promises. In the meantime, please visit some of my favorite sites and say hello—they’ll be glad to see you. (And if you’re in the Philadelphia area, ride this coming Sunday’s Philly Grand Fondo.)
The Service Course
The Boulder Report
Red Kite Prayer
Embrocation Cycling Journal Online
Tears for Gears
Cyclocosm
The Inner Ring
Belgium Knee Warmers
And while you’re at it, feel free to share some ideas for future posts. Let me know what’s on your mind during summer’s second half. I’ll do my best to accommodate your suggestions in future posts.
See you soon!
About Whit
My experiences might easily fit many cycling fans' definitions of “living the dream.†Since getting hooked on the sport watching Lance Armstrong win the 1993 U.S. Pro Championship, I've raced as an amateur on Belgian cobbles, traveled Europe to help build a European pro team, and piloted that team from Malaysia to Mont Ventoux. As a former assistant director sportif with Mercury-Viatel, I've also seen the less dreamy side of the sport – the side rife with broken contracts, infighting, and positive dope tests. These days, I live with my lovely wife in Pennsylvania and share my experiences and views on the sport at Bicycling Magazine, the Embrocation Cycling Journal, and at my own site, Pavé.
The week I spent in England (or month, whatever suits best)
Did your comment get cut-off, Rich?

Does anyone out there recall granting Whit time off for “vacation”? What a crock! I demand daily updates, time off be damned!
As for suggestions for future posts, I will have to think on that and get back to ya..cheers!
