Good little ride today, and it pointed out to me how it has definitely been a while since I've been for a ride longer than 30 miles. I'll be back for more soon, though :).

Another interesting thing that happened while I was riding was that I met a fellow named Charlie, who was, as he said, tapering for a big race in South Dakota. Apparently it's an adventure race called "Primal Quest," where participants traverse 600 miles through the badlands. They go over a variety of terrain, requiring a team with a varied repertoire of skills from mountain biking, running, whitewater kayaking, and even spelunking. Good luck, man ( and go Team Tecnu!).

First

So I've made a blog. I hope anyone who stumbles on it will find it interesting, but ultimately it's a device for me to keep track of my thoughts and mileage. I like to think that I am an ambitious person, and that's what I hope the name of this blog reflects. I've set a lot of goals for myself, and I wish I could say that they've been accomplished and checked off my list, but that's just not always how the cookie crumbles.

It has taught me, however, some better ways with which to approach goals. This coming [academic] year I hope to be much more focused in my pursuits. My biggest weakness is definitely wasting time on the mind-numbing information-overload that the internet can be (social networking sites, news, wikipedia, etc..), and hopefully this will be a more positive use of my time.

We'll just have to see!
