Down Time

My last posting has gotten a little stale and I'm well aware. I'm still chuckin' resumes at bike companies like crazy. I'm probably somewhere around 20 right now. I've gone on quite a few hikes in the last few weeks. A lot of them have been up at Hawk Mountain but I've also done a few right here in Michaux. Its got me thinking seriously about walking the whole trail again. My only dilemma is whether or not to take 4 or 5 months out of a racing season to do it. It sounds like a pretty big chunk of time but then again, it seems like it would be worth it. Just out of curiosity, I looked up the current record for thru-hiking the AT. My guess would have been somewhere around 90 days. Actually it was almost half that. 48 days. Unbelievable. That's an average of almost 45 miles a day. I guess that's out of the question for me...

Last week I also finally got a kayak. After making some serious coin at the Veloswap last week, I decided to go ahead and do it. I got it last Sunday afternoon and after driving home with it from French Creek Outfitters I dropped it off at home and immediately left for Ship. So I haven't gotten to use it yet, but that should all change tomorrow afternoon, when I have the whole day to cruise around. I'm gonna try to take the camera along with me and get some pics cause I've realized that almost all my posts are lacking visual support.

Riding time is at an all-time low, roughly once a week. And the meathead factory is almost becoming fun...I never thought I'd say that.
