amateur: n. 1. a person who engages in some art, science, sport, etc. for the pure pleasure of it rather than for money. 2. a person who does something without professional skill...derived from the french word "amare" which means "to love." That's me...Even though I am without professional skill...far from it; I love adventure, I love climbing, I love a good Hard-core Stout, I LOVE DULUTH, MN and I am obsessed with cycling & no one pays me so much as a penny! I am the consummate Amateur...

When HONOR is lost...
Sheepishly, on Sunday past, in the cover of a metaphorical fog, an embarrassed, physically and mentally defeated DBD duo made a hasty northern departure to put as many miles betwixt them and Seven Oaks for once again Iowa had proved to be more than enough challenge for these wayward and misguided cyclists. In other words, they got their butts kicked!!! More to follow...and it will not be pretty...
The course was a killer this year breaking spirits and bikes with no compassion shown to either.

ReplyDeleteIowa has taken part of my brain and soul and fertilized its fields. I deeply respect the environment that it has. I know I cannot conquer it so the next spring I will just try to glide along its contour.
