Bike Ride in the Snow to YMCA
Here is a short video of me riding my mountain bike to our local YMCA in the snow to workout. I make a brief stop at the John Brown Memorial Park to film John Brown’s statue. If I may, I would like to make a couple of comments about history behind our park. You can learn more by going to this website, http://johnbrownjamboree.com
John Brown park is where the John Brown State Historic Site is located. The museum houses the log cabin Rev. Samuel Adair and his family lived in when they moved to Kansas. Through artifacts and interpretation visitors learn about the struggles of these early pioneers. It took hard work and courage to take a firm stand against the spread of slavery into Kansas Territory. Kansas was admitted as a free state in 1861.

PS My first career was with Los Angeles Police Departemt. I was a motorcycle officer. My second career was in Real Estate as a Realtor and a Mortgage Broker with my own office in Oxnard, CA .
I realized with those two careers I was missing something. When I didn't work I didn't get paid. Now that actually is fair, but I wanted more. I wanted to work once and get paid for it many times over. You know, like a singer or song writer. Which I'm neither.
That put me on the search for a way I could earn residual income. After much trial and error, I finally found something. I now own a network marketing business in the field of health and wellness, which provides me with the time freedom to do what I want with my time. Whether it be to train for an Ironman or help my nephew when he needs help with his business. The products give me, at age 68, the added strength and stamina to train or work at construction, if I choose.
This could be something that would work for you. I prepared my busines website to help you determine if you have any interest in working with me. I'm always interested in helping people who want more from life and are willing to work for it. Please click here to visit my business website. After you have visited my business website and you would like to talk with me simply send me an email. You can click "contact me" to send me a message.

Why would you ride your bike to the YMCA in snow? Wouldn't it make more sense to just drive up there and then ride a stationary bike????
Good Morning Jo,
I believe the one of the main reasons we are on planet Earth is to
experience God's joy which of course can be different for each person.
I enjoy riding my bike, it's only 7 blocks. The fact that I am 66 and
can ride a bike on snow and ice and not fall over gives me joy.
I have a friend who has climb all seven of the tallest mountains in the
world and he is in his 70's. He does it for the joy and personal
satisfaction of doing it. Now, that does not interest me at all, but
riding a bike does. Different folks, different joys, right?
I do take a spinning class on Monday at the Y and that gives me joy,
plus a darn good workout.
One day last year, I rode my bike for 11 and 1/2 hours straight just to
win a contest. Even in the midst of pain one can experience joy. I do
not enjoy pain, but I do enjoy working out hard.
There are a lot of people who ride their bikes in the snow, you can buy
bike tires with metal stubs in them for traction. It is just another
way of entertaining ourselves. What makes sense, you know, like joy, is
different for many people.
Plus, I enjoyed making the video. I taught myself how to do that..
Take care and thanks for your comment.
Respectfully,
Duane
