Back in 2002, I assembled all the photos and stats from my running days.
Living out in the country I would often run around our 3 mile block. Sometimes I’d run it 2 or 3 times in a single day. However, I wasn’t part of a high school cross country or track team, because I was [...]

The Basic Bicycle Maintenance Class is an informative class to learn how to lube a chain, fix a flat tire in record time, or do minor adjustments to your bicycle.
I learned quite a bit and [...]
I’ve owned a mountain bike for almost 6 years now. However, up until yesterday it never trailed off the sweet comfort of a paved road. After lunch I went to the Mission Trails Regional Park and did actual mountain biking for almost 2 hours. The Summer of George continues!
