Howling The Truth

 Holidays are coming. For many it's a great time. For others not so. Sometimes it's neither. It may be the noise, choas or too many people. If someone is suffering from TBI, depression, PTSD or all of it. See what they need. Don't try to judge or neccessarliy take on the problem. Just try to understand and support.

   Bella is a service dog and is trained in 4 techniques. I think these dogs are instrumental in helping people with disabilities and other issues. Its important to use them wisely. Too many people are making false claims of needing a service dog. It is starting to hurt the people who actually need the animals. Emotional support dogs are different than service dogs. Anyone needing information on what defines the two can go to the ADA website. They cover the law and requirements. Be careful of companies that say letter issued over the internet and service dog letters. 

 for me one of the best parts of mountain biking is involving the grandkids. My opinion is not enough parents involve their children in their hobbies. They only learn for us.

 Remember, These are bicycles. Fun and enjoyment. Don't get wrapped up in the clothing and best of the best. Get out and enjoy. Too many people are keeping up with the tube and image. MTB and Road are great ways to enjoy family time, grand kid time, children time, friend time, relax on your own time and just have fun. It doesn't have to be about jumps and skids.   What ever your cycling passion is. Get out and enjoy. Don't worry about all the fluff.   For me some of my best and most comfortable riding clothes didn't come from a bike shop. Use good quality safety equipment and don't let a fun enjoyable sport break your wallet.
