Trail with Padre - Bald Eagle

In my new pursuit of fitness I hit the trail with Padre to log a few miles on the bikes. Why join a gym during the summer around here?


Of course I took the faster/lighter bike because he logs a lot more miles a year than I do.


At mile marker 8 on the trail we looked across the river and spotted what we believe to be a bald eagle. There are a few that live near here though neither of us have spotted one here before. I managed a quick if blurry pic from where I was at before he flew off but he definitely looked the part. (On the rock in the center... click on the pic to blow it up).


Here are the stats from the ride. I logged 16 miles in total and dranke1.5 bottles of water (I am a little out of shape still).


I did manage to post the fastest speed of the day with 24.62 mph so that was a plus.


Sadly Hector couldn't make this trip but I might have him out again tomorrow...

Vienna, Austria

After roughly 12 hours in transit from Rome (metro, train, (metro, metro, VIEWING OF LAST SUPPER!, metro, metro), bus, flight, bus, train, metro, metro, tram)) I made it to Vienna. The city is beautiful and seems like no city I have ever been before. Every time you turn around your camera has to come back out of your pocket because each building is more picturesque than the next.

Here are some shots of the city.



There is also the Argus Bike festival going on here so I have some entertainment for the next few days.


This is me executing my dirt track back flip. (Note the architecture of the building behind it).
I am sure I will have a lot more pictures after this trip and I want to count up what I took on this trip just to see how many pictures a guy who doesn't like taking pictures was forced to take in Europe.

Hittin the trail

I finally got up the courage to bring the bike out of retirement.


I did manage to get in about 5 miles on the bum leg


Some clips from the trail

Now to do it again today.
