Tri-Decade birthdays

We're kicking off the year of Tri-Decade birthdays right this weekend with a 2-night backpacking expedition in to the Sipsey Wilderness area. On the menu - Rippey (Magnolia) trail and Borden Creek trail. It's going to be cold - but fun nonetheless!

AR, anyone?

I'm working on getting in to Adventure Racing. The first potential outing is January 24th at the Sandman AR at Red Top Mountian SP just north of ATL. We'll see...seems it would be very cold for an inexperienced canoer to get dipped that early in the year...

The results are in...

Team Creampuff (Minus Commish, Insert Monty) competed in the 1st Annual Blood Rock EX Duathlon last weekend. It was a perfect day to be out at OMSP, and fun was had by all. We finished in 9th overall, and 2nd in the Men's Relay division. I'm ready to do it again...

While teasing the Commish for not competing with us in the BREX, it seems a new challenge has been given. Some time (soon I hope) in the future, Brain, Commish, and I will be tackling the Rails to Trails from Anniston to Smyrna. More to come...

My Apologies

I've noticed that I haven't done a very good job of keeping this site interesting - lack of posts, not too many photos, not nearly enough jabs at the Commish. I'm starting today in an effort to do better.
A couple of freinds and I are running a race this weekend at Oak Mountain State Park - the Blood Rock EX Duathlon. I'm pumped about it and I'll post a pic soon.

While you wait in sticky anticipation for the photos, check out this little dandy: http://www.80ozoffury.com/.

Next big adventure...

This is a snapshot of the John Muir Trail, part of the Pacific Crest Trail. It is said to be some of the best hiking / backpacking in North America, if not the world. Traveling through Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia National Forest, somehow I don't think that's an exaggerated statement...

Adventure for 2009? We'll see...

Hard-to-reach Plants

I was looking for a clever quote the other day and stumbled upon a list of Mitch Hedberg quotes. Freakin' hilarious. Enjoy.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large out of focus monster roaming the countryside. Look out, he's fuzzy, let's get out of here.

(The Daily Sasquatch) Hoax

It appears as though this mass of hair in a freezer is not, in fact, Bigfoot.
