Odometer Check



It all started in May when our company sponsored the "May is Bike Month" event. (http://www.mayisbikemonth.com/). A few of us decided to ride our bikes to work. For me, this commute is 12 miles one way. I did not think this would stick (especially after the accident/concussion in May) but then the construction on I-5 happened and gas prices went through the roof. Here we are in September and we are still biking. After my commute this morning, I have a little more than 730 miles on my odometer! Now I am craving a new hybrid bike! I currently am riding a Giant MTB that I bought on Craigslist. I have added road tires to the bike and recently upgraded to clipless pedals.

Now, I wonder when the weight will start dropping off?

Fantasy Football Sophmore Season


Last year I had beginner's luck and won the fantasy football league (which funded our Wii purchase). This year we'll see if it truly was just beginner's luck. Last year's roster proved worthy with Tony Romo as the QB and Randy Moss as the main WR. I am not so sure about this line up...my draft position was right in the middle at # 5 (out of 10 teams). Here is is...what do you think? Have sleeper tips for me? I think I need some WR quality additions! Advice is appreciated.
