As with any good book, there are many memorable chapters, but there are also some that didn’t quite work out. My first attempt at blogging was RamblingsFromTheSaddle, a blog focused on my bicycle commuting journeys powered by craft beer and the boredom of commuting. Each post grumbled about my search for purpose and health, and it also included overall observations from the bicycle seat. As a result of my unhealthy lifestyle, my weight increased and my riding decreased to nothing.
My next blog was RamblingsFromTheHarley, which was a reincarnation of my first blog but focused on my travels with my beloved Harley-Davidson motorcycle. I had a lot of fun with this iteration of my internet ramblings, but for better or worse, my life took many turns along the way. From divorce, to career changes, to the sudden passing of my mother, to finding love, to losing my father, to health issues and surgeries, to losing connection to my daughters whom I love dearly, and the countless mental health issues along the way, my focus on the blog was less than ideal. So as it goes, once again, the blog died on the vine.
But this time, my love for Harleys and my travels have not. So officially, welcome to FromBehindBars, my ramblings, my thoughts, my journeys, and my joys from around the world on two-wheels!
