What's New In Baltimore?

If you've been following along for a while, you might remember that I write occasional reviews of motorcycle kit (and fleece onesies) for webBikeWorld.com. The editor, Rick, whom I finally met all too briefly at the 2011 Milan bike show, knows I'm a web dev and had mentioned a couple of times that some of the older pages on the site need updating if I fancied the job on an as-and-when basis.

A few weeks ago, he emailed another suggestion. Why didn't he pay for me to fly out to his home in Maryland and do the work in situ, while also enjoying a week of chilling out, biking and tourism with Rick and Mrs Rick?

It was such a generous offer that it was a while before I convinced myself I should accept it, but I did. I'll be flying into Washington Dulles airport on Sunday April 21st, returning the following Sunday.

It's a fantastic opportunity, and it has come about as a direct result of pursuing my passions for writing and motorcycles. This is how life should work.
