Dear Dr. Greenstein,
You've had a busy new year!
I've been reading your communiques on upcoming PASSHE changes and listened with interest to your interview the other day on Radio Smart Talk (or at least of much of Scott Lamar as I could handle).
In that interview, you mentioned your fall system tour and beginning each campus visit with a bike ride. At Shippensburg, we didn't get that opportunity. I believe our ride was cancelled due to rain, leaving a half dozen students and myself rather disappointed. First, because of course we were all looking forward to meeting you. Second, because I'm drilling into them constantly that, on a bicycle, rain is to be embraced, not feared. (Plus, didn't you come here from Seattle?)
:-)
Anyway, with the new semester, and especially because we're really just down the road, the students of the Shippensburg University Cycling Club and myself would like to offer a cordial invitation for you to join us on any of our spring training rides as we prepare for the upcoming collegiate road race season.
We host a regular mid-week training "race" on Tuesdays, 3:30 pm until the time change, then 6:00 pm (details: https://sites.google.com/site/shipcycling/home/training-rides/tnr). Saturday mornings we ride long, anywhere from 2-5 hours, depending on the student, the weather, and our whims (details: https://sites.google.com/site/shipcycling/home/training-rides/saturday-btogs). And Friday afternoons, our most casual efforts, the No-One-Gets-Dropped-Ride, leaving from the campus flagpole (time varies; https://sites.google.com/site/shipcycling/home/training-rides/friday-no-one-gets-dropped-ride).
One more thing: If you're available, you may be interested in coming down to watch some of the races as Shippensburg University hosts an Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference race weekend on April 13 and 14. We need about 60 volunteers to pull off the event; bring the family, we'll put you to work.
Here's hoping we'll get to ride soon.
Best of luck with your work this coming semester,
Nathan (and the students of ShipCycling)

Break that ankle when climbing. Apparently it can cause problems with your feet. At plus 30 miles per hour make sure your hit gear, where you can go faster. Alan was a lot better than I was, but I was not bad. From being a division one soccer player at a top 25 team in the nation, to riding a bicycle. Their is a lot to it.
Where is 2019 calendar. A decrease in motivational level? I do not race, but after doing some quick I see the efforts, as I always did. Break that ankle and work hard! Who is that guys riding that bicycle? It is something that a lot of people can do from the elderly in Philadelphia to the kids around the globe.
Did you know that Omar Bradley established the trait-based leadership principles in 1948? If my memory serves many of the essays, I read were not based on this approach. However, I did dig deeper through examining history and other opinions. A lot of them establish traits in order to communicate a message. Furthermore, there are things such as religions, policy, and nursery rhymes that help establish concepts that allow a world or state to function. Many of the people that have established these concepts can simply not be competed with.
There is always undermining going, but certain things have been proven to work, while others do not. That simply are transformational nature. Often times it gets us into trouble if ethical principles are not considered. Nathan do not run that stoplight!
Yes, it can, depending upon your diet. In fact, at times it can lead to a buildup in crystallization in areas such as your feet. The doctors would call gout, but while not riding you can eat steak every day. The science behind the body, that is a difficult thing to simply take data into consideration.
"Humpty" Dumpty sat on wall and "Humpty" Dumpty had a great fall. All of the thing king knights and people attempted put him back together. But they could not, and some went ahead and went transformational and said they said they put an egg back together. Then the intellectuals got in group and discussed brady wars. The Marine (Omar Bradley) said "Humoty you have courage, but judgment was clouded on sitting that wall when you are a egg."
Does Garmin mean that when you're in the red at 30 mph you are supposed to slow down? They do not have enough data to understand that one. When there are doors, tucks, stop lights, stop signs, wet weather, and heavier volumes of traffic (People or Vehicle) That is probably a good idea. "Humpty" is not ever going to be a perfect example, because he is egg! That deals with the roots of culture and things of this nature. Thus,"Humpty" must have judgment and not always listen to the Kings men.
If the cycling community was worried about safety. I would not have seen what I saw on the trail Philadelphia. There would not electric motors rolling around. That would be motorcycle with fat tires. That deals with integrity sport or character. On that Garmin you can be riding with someone that provides medals for you, or it you that fighting the wind.
Never will figure it out! Cyclist on Garmin everywhere. The idea of culture and experience.
One of those times with instinct. Not Doctor of Leadership. A lot of kids would not understand that.
People would know leadership if hit them in in face. Protests and pandemics. Going with trends . Professors included.
Student loan debt and war?
Its time! Come down on people so to speak. That is not about misdemeanors. Tell daughter put a helmet on when she is skiing or to stay in the middle of the mogle field. If not, you run into trees.
