\nIt always starts the same way: a tickle in your throat, a nagging runny nose, an annoying case of the sneezes and before you know it, you are the bearer of a miserable cold. Almost without fail this happens at quite possibly the most inconvenient time: when you are gearing up for a big ride or your next goal is right upon you.\u00c2\u00a0 This year, I have become all too familiar with getting back on that bike.
\nOn New Year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day, I had a sore throat that I just couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t shake.A couple of rounds of antibiotics to treat \u00e2\u20ac\u0153strep throat\u00e2\u20ac\u009d with no avail,led to a series of tests culminating with a biopsy of a nodule on my thyroid.
\nMy doctor called me in on April 1st\u00e2\u20ac\u201dyes really, April Fool\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day, to inform me that I had thyroid cancer.\u00c2\u00a0 This led to an interesting post on Facebook followed by at least two dozen calls and text messages to confirm my prank, or…<\/p>\n

\nI was in a bad mood this morning, an after effect of a raging political printer debate last night on Facebook which left me exhausted.
\nA long swim, early this morning, under the sliver of light provided by a skinny crescent moon did little to alleviate my bad mood.
\nSo, I decided some fast wheel rolling on the Gateway Park mountain bike trails would be just what the Mood Doctor would prescribe if I had a…<\/p>\n
