HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!
Hopefully this list will help keep you motivated and in the saddle all year long. Personally, my goal is to do at least as much if not more for the cycling community in 2015 as I did in 2014.
I have some fun plans for the ride list in 2015. It will be gradual as time permits and you can expect it to get better and better. Your comments are greatly appreciated.
This list is a major time commitment and it is my pleasure to put it together. All I ask in return for the list is that you remember I’m A REALTOR. If you have a relationship with another REALTOR, I love loyalty and respect those relationships. However, if not, or if you need a second opinion, Please keep me in mind. Many agents spend money advertising for new business, others sit open houses or cold call. My business is based on referrals from past clients and friends. The less time I have to do traditional prospecting the more I can do for the cycling community. For example: this list.
