500 MILES LATER!!!

October 19, 2007

So I officially logged 500 miles on the road bike with this morning’s ride!  In all fairness I crossed this milestone quite a while ago because I don’t include the 15 miles/week back and forth to campus nor did I include any of the numerous 10-15 mile rides I did before I had a cyclometer and while fine-tuning the bike.  So in the interest of scientific ethics I can provide hard evidence that I’ve ridden 500+ miles only.  Hopefully the next 500 are just as enjoyable and as the weather in BCS is finally cooling down I think they will be.

A couple things to check out:

October 9, 2007

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything and I’ll be getting better about that soon. The end of the summer was very busy with qualifying exams and conferences etc… For now, check out Mark Noonan’s blog Battle Porn Politic’s and read an excellent post on Yucca Mountain from a Nevadan’s perspective.

Also, Barack Obama finally outlined his energy policy, you can check it out here. Haven’t had a chance to read the whole thing yet but the main points seem reasonable. His nuclear policy seems a little vague, though I agree with the issues he raises, my research is focused on some of those issues!

More to come!
