• Endurance Time

    Since I’ve gotten back in to mountain biking, I’ve been following the local boards on a close-to daily basis. I recently saw a post from a guy who wanted to team up for 12 Hours of Cranky Monkey, a 12-hour mountain bike race down in Quantico, VA.

I was off to help do trail work with MORE on a portion of the Fairfax Cross County Trail, a multi-use trail that extends all the way from the Potomac to I-95. I haven’t frequented the trail much as of late, but I did use it quite a bit back…

  • Movie: Zeitgeist

    It took me about 2 months worth of lunches here at work, but I finally completed Zeitgeist, an award winning conspiracy theory video (viewable online at that link). It’s nice to get a fresh perspective on things, and some of the ideas brought up on this really are eye-opening, but when presented information like this, one needs to perform due diligence by verifying facts.…
