End Of Year Scheduling

Like it or not, we are entering the final stretch of 2019. The holidays are cranking up, and before you know it, you'll have broken all your New Year's resolutions again and mid-January depression will be setting in. Or hopefully you have a more realistic handle on life and you won't be entering into any of the upcoming insanity.

I know what I'll be doing. December will be quite the month with some of the regular fixings and a couple of surprises. I'll let the surprises be a mystery for now, but I did want to go over what you can expect here over the next several weeks on Guitar Ted Productions.

Obviously Thanksgiving Day will be a day off here. Then the regularly scheduled posts will follow on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. That brings us into December.

Traditionally December here brings the "Rear View" posts which is my retrospective on the year which is about to close. Since this is also the end of the decade, I'll also be touching upon some of the highlights of the 2010-2019 time span here. Those will also be "Rear View" posts, but you will know they are not about 2019.

I also have done retrospectives on the bikes I used most over the year here. I'm not sure this is a well received or looked for thing. You let me know in the comments if you feel strongly about those posts. I may skip that due to the amount of retrospective stuff I plan and with the upcoming news posts.

Finally, I am drafting up another round of "The State Of The Gravel Scene" posts. Got any subject matter related to riding gravel events that has been sticking in your craw? Wonder what I think? Ask me now and I'll cover it in these upcoming posts which will be published January 1st and beyond if there is enough to make multiple posts.

Okay, that should do it and this should give you readers an idea of what to expect now through New Year's and beyond. As always...... Thank You For Reading Guitar Ted Productions!

Happy Thanksgiving Mark and thanks for all your work on the blog each day! Hope you can get out and enjoy a ride or two over the holiday weekend, but the forecast ain't looking very pretty so far...

@Ben- Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

I enjoy reading about the bikes in your stable. . .I see each person's bike as kind of their own personal artwork that says a little about what they like and prioritize.

Guitar Ted said...

@Stud Beefpile- Thank you. I agree that a bicycle is kind of like a picture of its rider's likes and preferences not only in terms of hardware, but maybe even giving hints on the personality behind those choices.

As a shop employee, it's all about the bikes for me. I love reading about your events and adventures (the Sunday touring series was the best read ever), but the best part is digging into your various builds and the whys and wherefores as to why each is set up the way it is. As a bass player, I also enjoy the posts dealing with your guitars as well.

@jdc- Thank you! Unfortunately, I have posted about all my guitars now! (Excuse to buy another? Ha!)
