Blogging Often? I'd Rather be Biking

Blogging authorities agree -- a weekly blog post (some say daily) is the only way to keep your readers coming back for more. But there's so many things vying for my attention. It's high season at the rainforest inn. All our villas are booked with no vacancies in sight. The calendar looks all red with the marking tape we use to show bookings. We are now using an internet booking calendar which is saving some time.  I don't have to answer as many calls from guests wanting to stay nights that we're already booked because they can check the calendar themselves. We are also looking into a call answering service that will take messages and take bookings those times when we can't answer the phone. So what am I doing with all the extra time?

  This is a picture of my bike, taken this morning, leaning up against the sign just up the road from our entrance. I love to bike up that road in the morning. The rainforest is densely packed green vegetation on each side and the trees grow over and shade the road. There are stands of bamboo that move in the early morning breeze making spooky sounds. Two bridge crossings go over the headwaters of the Espiritu Santo river with lovely waterfalls on the south side of the bridge and an expansive view down the mountain to the north. After that early morning ride I always feel more full of energy and more able to deal with another day of not enough time (to blog). I have an extra bike and often ask my guests if they're interested in joining me for the ride up the road but no one has yet taken me up on the offer. I recommend highly for anyone else who finds themselves with too much on their calendar and no free time to take off in the early morning for a brisk 45 minutes of enjoyable aerobic exercise. It is not lost time.

Biking in the rainforest sounds really neat Bill. I can't believe none of your guests has taken you up for your offer to ride, man... I'd be all over that, I'd ask you before you even brought it up. I bicycled across the US in 1996, I love biking and camping. I don't much care for biking out in the open in the country, biking in a green tunnel of the Rainforst would be a pleasurable experience, especially in the morning.
