Specialized Bicycles has its headquarters in Morgan Hill and has a nice museum on-site. My Tuesday riding group had visited it before in spring 2020, right before the Covid pandemic took off. We went again last Tuesday, and this time our guide was Robert Egger, who has been their creative director for years.

I was doing one long ride a week (my group ride) and short rides on other days, but last week I threw in some more longer rides. It felt great, I did not have any of the symptoms my heart would have if it were straining because of the valve leaking excessively. ...
Great coaches are also great learners. The most effective coaches never stop learning. Whether you are supporting someone through a fitness transformation, guiding a client toward healthier eating habits, or helping them navigate stress and life changes, your success as a coach depends on your ability to keep growing.
