New Ride

From Cannondale F5

Now that I have a desk job, my efforts to stay somewhat in shape have been stepped up. The calories hang on well when all you're doing is sitting staring at a screen all day. Going to the gym is the obvious answer, but it bores me. I just don't have the patience to run or ride a machine while staring at a TV for hours. I much rather have some more interaction. So, to take advantage of the summer weather I decided to invest in a mountain bike rather than the gym. There's some pretty good trails around here with plenty of weekend MTB events. I'm also considering trying to commune to work, but I may have to get my legs and lungs back into a little better shape. Wednesday night I entered my first race and got beat pretty badly, but at least I finished. The biking community are pretty hard core, but most people are really helpful. I'm looking forward to more races over the summer.

So, save a dinosaur and leave your car at home, get a bike!

Party all the time

While doing some picture organizing this evening, I came across these from Grilladelphia 08. What is a Grilladelphia you ask? Well I'm sure it's the name of a cheese steak place in Philly, but it's also a kick ass party Em and Nicole have turned into an annual event. This was about a month ago, so I'm late posting these, but who doesn't like fond memories?




There's almost nothing better than friends and BBQ. I can't wait for next year.
