2007 Goat Races (with video!)

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

Once again, man and goat have come down from the hills to gather in the shadow of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant to compete on the field of honor.

Is was a wonderful day for a goat race. The combatants were in peak form and ready for competition.
Don't fuck with me, buddy.
I am Goat, hear me roar.

This year, I got video of one heat of racing.

Although your fearless videographer risked life and limb to bring you this footage, no goats were harmed in the making of this blog entry.

My Karate Monkey
Rivendell Bombadil Prototype

There’s a small writeup / update on the status of the new Bombadil mountain bike on Riv’s site.

I really wanted one of these, but I got tired of waiting, so I got the Karate Monkey instead.
I probably saved myself a thousand bucks, but I don’t have any fancy lugs to look at.

Full moon on the LVRT tonight, so I rode all the way up to Mount Gretna and back to Elizabethtown.

Tonight: 25 miles

OSM Sightseeing

Monday, September 24th, 2007

You may recall a few years ago, there was a big brouhaha because the school board in Dover, PA wanted to teach “Intelligent Design” in Biology class.

Of course, the whole thing was thrown out, but that’s not what’s important.

What’s important is that Dover, PA is now visible in OSM, so if you want to go see the High school to point and laugh, you can find your way there with OSM.

The High school is the purple area on the right. The middle school is the one on the left.
