Home, Home on the Range




I've been spending a lot of time kicking cones, riding around a range and learning lately and I've got to say it is paying off in ways I didn't really expect.

We have all heard the phrase "Practice makes perfect" and I've even referred to a modified phrase my College Orchestra Conductor would recite, "Perfect practice makes perfect." I've always understood how to break down a music performance to the base level and rebuild it, but I am now learning how to do exactly that with motor skills and in an adult learning atmosphere. The process is remarkably similar to many things I have experienced in my life, but it is completely refreshing to see the results on a different stage, so to speak.

I am a good 2/3 thirds through a process and hopefully in a couple weeks I will begin yet another journey that allows me to interact with even more riders in way that allows them to have a safe and enjoyable riding experience.

Meanwhile I think I'll kick a few more cones and Practice - Practice - Practice!
