Steve and I are so sorry your year has been so crappy to date. Keep your chin up, things will get better, eventually, and it will snow next January also. Looking to follow either, or both, of one of your real or imaginary tours.
10 months agoThanks Emily, and yes, Chef G. has been a little too busy to post any of his famously delicious recipes and informative food articles. The good news is that he's got a few cooking ideas running through his amazing culinary brain and hopes to get back on the air in the near future.
Indeed, the bike is a great healer. I've been using mine as medicine for the mind and the body for many years.
Sending my condolences to The Feeshko and you on all the hard things. They always seem to cluster together. The bike is such a good healer though, and it will be there when the time is right. I am glad for you that you've had so much time in life with your dad when he was healthy and well, before his care needs have escalated. I know plenty of people my age already dealing with all of that, and it's looking increasingly likely my brother and I will be faced with it sooner rather than later... the price to pay for love and a good relationship with family, I guess. Sending good thoughts to you and The Feeshko.
10 months agoI check in on Chef G every so often and he hasn't been posting, so thought maybe there might be an icicle ride over here. I know you've got a lot going on with family, but good to see the thought of a ride is always there.
10 months agoSteve and I send both you and the Feeshko our condolences on the loss of her mother, and the declining health of your Dad. This an inevitable, but still very sad and difficult, stage in all our lives as we get older.
10 months agoThank you, Mike. I will tell the Feeshko about ALL of the condolences from my Cycleblaze friends.
10 months agoMinnesota has also adopted the Idaho Stop rule. I'm not sure about Iowa though.
10 months agoSteve, I really like that interpretation.
10 months agoYes, the bald eagle is not a fair hunter. One time I honestly believed a bald eagle was assessing our dog for a meal. I think he gave up the idea of swooping down after correctly calculating Diggity's weight at 32-pounds.
10 months agoA frozen lake is one of the few surfaces on which I've never ridden a bike. I'm so paranoid about falling through the ice that I'm hesitant to even walk on it. I have attempted to ride on an outdoor skating rink though. That didn't go so well.
10 months agoCondolences to the Feeshko and to you Greg. Hopefully your Dad settles into assisted living life, and hopefully that will ease the burden on you a bit. Enjoy the winter riding. And if you don’t get to do that tour in January, I suspect February might provide some good challenging opportunities as well.
10 months agoSorry to hear that the Feeshko's mother passed away. My Condolences to you both. Glad to hear you found a good place for your dad.
Enjoy the snow!
Greg,
So sorry about your mother-in-law as well as your Dad. I'm glad your father has you to keep some light-hearted humor going in his life. I'm sure he appreciates all you do for him.
Condolences to the Feeshko and you. May your pa flourish in his new digs. It can be a long goodbye, as others here can attest. Bike riding in the snow is excellent therapy but please stay upright because he needs you unbroken.

Thank you, Dodie. You guys are great, and I've been lurking at your Mexico tour. Thank goodness Steve has you along to spot all those birds so he can take credit for photographing them. LOL
