Healthy Diversions





“Life comes at you fast,” the commercial so creatively states. It is likewise, very true. Sometimes it is just good to do something you enjoy without the hectic stuff of normal activity. Three friends and I just spent two days riding the 100+ miles of Skyline Drive in Virginia. In the two days we climbed over 6,000 vertical feet on our bicycles. It was a purging as much as anything.

Day 1 was cool and much more difficult. Day 2 started in the rain, but became very nice and was not nearly as tough of a climbing day. It was a great couple of days. Here are some photos. In the group shot the guys are Left to Right – Me, Greg Toomey, Don Creasy and John Creasy (my son-in-law).
