Saddle Sore Spirituality - Paperback

by Bob Blaylock (Author)

Saddle Sore Spirituality is a not-so-technical guide into the wonderful world of bicycling with unique parallels between the skills and demands of cycling and scripture based fundamental truths and insights into an enhanced spiritual life. The comparisons are often remarkable, perceptive and inspiring . Saddle Sore Spirituality is written for the beginning cyclist, the less experienced rider and the person who may want to try out cycling for recreation, improved health or just basic transportation. It also provides a valuable understanding of the peculiarities of the sport for those who want a greater understanding of some of the unusual aspects of cycling, cyclists, and bicycle racing. Much more importantly Saddle Sore Spirituality makes connections between the bike and the struggles that many face in their spiritual walk. It ties the physical and the spiritual together in an inspiring and humorous text Written in easy to understand language with a good deal of subtle wit mixed in, Saddle Sore Spirituality provides advice and guidance learned from over three decades of cycling all over the world. Bob Blaylock shares his experience and knowledge with down-to-earth information that is important to the beginner. Blaylock, modestly states, "So, as you read this book, understand that I speak more from lessons of error than from the podium of a professor." Bob Blaylock has been cycling for well over three decades. He retired from the Navy in 1992 as a Senior Chief Petty Officer with over twenty five years of service and now resides near Nashville, Tennessee. He and his wife of forty two years have two grown children and two young granddaughters. Now fully retired, he still cycles almost daily and gives God the glory for all things in his life.
