The Dave Roll Waterloo Christmas Light Ride on 29th of November

     Yes, we are starting a Waterloo Christmas ride. It is not intended to do anything other than be a reason to ride a bike a short distance and be around others. The length is a whopping 3 miles. To sum that is more miles than they have rode for the previous 10 years. That is the person I want there. If you want to bang out miles and demonstrate your cycling skills, there is a ride in Cedar Falls on the 5th of December for that.  I believe they are meeting up 6pm and leaving from Overmen Park.       When: 29 November 2023 @ 6pm      Where: Kingsley Elementary School parking lot.  On the street parking is fine, look for No Parking sides.      Route: Link Here on Strava App      Ending: Lighthouse Lounge, bring a bike lock.   Parking is extremely limited, Also it is a Cash Only Bar.      See what happens this year, and may be this grows, who knows.  I started the Cedar Fall...

A glimpse behind the podcast

       If you know you know Guitar Ted and I have been doing a lot of Podcasting in the last year.  I can hear the improvements already.  I have my issues, and I tend to over speak Mark way more than I should.  In my defense, some pauses seem to be extraordinarily long and feels like dead air.  So I interject.  Then I listen back and I hear no pause  In the moment it seems like a life time has passed.

The Guitar Ted Production Podcast Experience

       Long time absent writer, 1st time Podcaster here.  Well I imagine by now it is clear I have been putting more effort into the podcast I co-host with Guitar Ted.  Yes, it is all him, I just provide my hot takes and sometimes I coordinate the guests or even the topic.        With Mark (G. Ted) going a bit more regular with the Guitar Ted Productions Podcast  we have found a lot out.  If you notice the audio from our first episode to today, it is vastly better.  My bad on those early episodes. I should not be allowed near the mixing board.  But I feel we are hitting a stride of good content and better sound.       Someone asked me what I hope to get out of the podcast?  I said, simply getting a chance to chat with a friend about a topic I enjoy.  So going forward I hope you view the podcast from that  lenses.  Mark does put in way more effort than me.  I just provide the roo...
