Gene is all prepared for his 100 mile ride this morning. I am not prepared with a nice birthday post. The best I can do is be the SAG car and have water and snacks ready for his stops. He is going to try to do the first half before I even get going. We shall see. We plan for a nice dinner in Taos if he isn't completely worn out. He should do well. He has many miles on his legs.....
I hope you have a great ride for your birthday, Gene. I love you.
Gene at Fairmont Golf Course in Kimberly, Canada. Could be in Angel Fire, eh? This was in 2004. He hasn't changed much at all.
I am an artist that paints in pastels, with some oils, and acrylics. I sketch in pen and ink. As an artist my original paintings are influenced from living in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Bolivia, Peru and Chile, and travels throughout much of Canada and all our fifty States. This is my spot for posting paintings and sketches, to muse mostly about art, life and a little about UT Baseball.

And he's off!! What a great goal to have for each birthday - very impressive. Do well, enjoy the ride!
Happy Birthday Gene! We will think about you while we do the Hotter 'n Hell this weekend.
Happy Birthday Gene, and many more bike rides for you!
Happy birthday, Dad!
Regina, Bag Blog, Johanne and Joanna, he is on the way. Maybe he will comment later. Thanks for the good wishes. I will pass them on.
Well, I wimped out and only got 81 miles in, the mind was willing but the body was not up to the task. Maybe next year.
Gene, I do not think 81 miles is wimpy .. maybe not your goal of 100, but certainly not wimpy. Love ya.
81 miles, that's pretty good. Good job Gene!!!
Gene: Happy Birthday and have a great ride.
Johanne, thanks again!!
fishing guy, thank you. He didn't like that he didn't make his goal, but we all think he did great at 81+ miles. :)
