This was recently sent to me by a very creative friend, who appreciates stuff like this as much, if not more than I do.

My hat’s off to who ever is creating this, as it is very well done, and provides a really intersting view into much of the local cycling scene here in Portland.

By interviewing some of the stalwarts and characters that really make up the incredible scene that is Portland cycling, they’ve effectively conveyed it’s character in a way that is quite enjoyable to take in.

And it’s not quite finished yet, so it’s sort of a work in progress which makes it even more fun to check back in on it from time to time.

But don’t take my word for it. Check it out for yourself and enjoy!

If you’re looking to rev up your fitness for road racing this spring, I highly recommend checking out this cycling performance camp being put on by the same wonderful folks who put on the Race Across Oregon.

Teri and George really want to offer a performance training camp experience to local cyclists and those from afar and have put together what looks like is going to be an absolutely first rate affair. After witnessing how they treat people and how they run their events, I couldn’t imagine it being anything other than spectacular.

The timing is perfect to get ready for some of the biggest races locally, the terrain is amazing as anyone who’s ridden in that neck of the woods already knows, and the itinerary is top notch! (I know this for a fact. Don’t ask why? I just do!)

They’re bringing in professional coaches to lead the training rides, as well as guest speakers and presenters.

So if you want to have a lot of fun while improving your skills and sharpening up your fitness, I’d plan on attending this event. I guarantee that you will be glad you did.

After many years on the drawing board, I have teamed up with forward thinker Lisa Engles of InnerState Coaching and the technology of WebEx to begin offering online courses, seminars and presentations via interactive webinars to endurance athletes & coaches. In addition, we will be creating an online library where course participants and Endurofit University members can access what will be an extensive selection of webinar & Tele-courses, audio & video recordings, articles and various other media, all aimed at helping coaches and athletes improve their performance or their business, their health and well-being and their lives.

The intention and motivation behind this endeavor is one that is near and dear to my heart. As a lover of teaching and empowering others, my mission is to help people discover and create a means for developing their true and highest potential. As a consummate student, self-proclaimed techno-geek and ever fumbling entrepreneur, I have always wanted to create a means for providing a better way for athletes and coaches to access the information, products, services and get the support they need to attain their personal goals more effectively.

However, the challenge has always involved coming up with a way to reach a wider audience and offer them tools and solutions that fit their respective budgets without sacrificing the quality of those products, services and events. Well, that’s exactly what this endeavor is all about. By creating an educational resource center for athletes and coaches, I will be able to collaborate with some of the best minds in coaching, training and developing human performance and potential to offer a broader range of products, services and events to fit a wider range of budgets.

Before, if I couldn’t coach you one on one, I didn’t have anything to offer you. When this project gets up and rolling, starting with the addition of articles, e-books, audio recordings and the distance learning courses that begin next month, there will be quality solutions for everyone’s budgets and hopefully over time, for as many people’s different needs as possible. I know that I cannot help everybody, but with today’s technology and a smarter approach to work, we will certainly be able to be of help to a whole lot more and that brings a lot of joy to my heart.

By working with the wonderful team at WebEx, we will be able to really offer a much more effective and professional approach to online learning and the dissemination of good information while creating a highly interactive and supportive online community.

Do these seem like lofty goals? Well, I sure hope so, because in my experience, everything worth while in life requires hard work, taking risks, faith and a steadfast commitment to manifesting the pinnings of your heart. I can say with 100% confidence, that this undertaking is chock full of all of the above and I look forward to each and every step of the way, every moment along the journey as we watch this baby grow.

If you haven’t already joined, then please sign up for my NEWSLETTER and SUCCESS TIPS to stay informed and be one of the first to know when these things come available, not to mention to take advantage of the free gifts that come along with doing so.

I appreciate your time, your faith and your patronage and look forward to connecting with you more often, and on a whole new level, as this thing starts to take shape over the next few months. I look forward to sharing the fruits of this labor with you all very soon.

I would like to take a moment to extend a special thanks to the most patient web site host in the business, Terry Pokorny of Scrap & Sew Inc.; the kick-butt masters cyclist and very talented graphic web designer, Hugh Givens of g2strategic; and the ride and work ’till you drop Ultra-cyclist and very creative multi-media artist, Susan Plonsky of AZBrevet.com. Without the help of these guys and many, many others who all know who you are (and probably don’t want your names on here anyways for one reason or another), this certainly couldn’t have ever even begun to come to fruition. So thank all of you for your immense and undying support.

Sincerely,
