When Mother Nature ruins your plans, go on a road trip!

I had this awesome post ready to go for today and now I can't even share it with you. I guess that's what you get when Mother Nature has the final say. Alison and I were supposed to go up to Rocktown in Lafayette, GA for a bouldering/camping trip with some friends, but those plans changed thanks to Mother Nature and the rain she's bringing.

If you know me, you know I can't just sit around when I have time off work.

So we're going on a road trip!

New Beginnings in a Sunrise

I took the picture below one early Saturday morning from the balcony at my parents beach condo in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I love it, not just for its beauty, but for what it represents. The sunrise, to me, represents the start of something new.

A Guy & His Bike

Have you ever...

done something, where it scared you to death, and you swore you’d never do it again? Well in the summer of 2006, that was mountain biking for me. My brother Adam and I went on a guided mountain biking tour, in North Carolina, I was 16 and Adam was 14.

I’m definitely not the "daredevil" in the family 

Naturally, I didn’t find it to be much fun, bouncing down a mountain at high speeds on a mountain bike.

Fast-forward 7 years, and here we are!

I’m 23 and am a proud owner of a 2012 Jamis Trail X2 mountain bike. I had some time to grow up and get over some fears and now I love it. Although, I do ride in Florida (Soldiers Creek Park, to be exact) I still have a blast.

I’ve "eaten my words" from time-to-time and history does repeat itself, at times, now’s one of those times for me. Has there ever been a time where you didn’t give something, or someone, a fair chance?

Personally, my Weekend Warrior (adventurous side) comes out in me during the week after work and on the weekends. Whenever your Weekend Warrior comes out, why not consider giving that one thing or that someone another chance, that you said you wouldn't…ever?

There just might be light at the end of the tunnel, after-all.
