Bike Ride

I havnt been mountain biking in a few weeks now...ok...actually...almost 2 months, but iI stopped by the bike store yesterday on my way home from skool, and picked up a Fox racing jersey and the works, so i decided to go for a nice ride.

Where: Rode down to the bank to pay the credit card bill...then on to the Tijeras Creek Trail where it hits the toll road off Antonio Parkway. Up the hill, rode around along the ridge for a bit, then down the horse trail into Coto. From there down to the Coto general store, and back out along the side streets and out at the Dove Canyon Exit. Then on the the Bell View Trail, and back into Robinson ranch.

How Far: 12.35 miles

How Long: 58 minutes moving...1 hour 15 minutes total

Average Speed: 9.6 miles per hour

It was a great ride! I wanted to go down to the baseball fields in Los Flores, but it was too hot and I was pushing too hard...so in lu of passing out along a trail of which i never saw another rider, i decided to make it a shorter ride than i would have liked. But, still, it was a great ride!

Gigantic Spider Web

So if you hate spiders as much as I do, then this will either completely creep you out or it will totally fascinate you. Even though I hate spiders, I am a fan of watching them...from a large distance that is. Anyway, this giant spider was found in a North Texas State Park about a month ago. Apparently entomologists are not sure why the web is so large, or why hundreds of spiders are living in the same area. Thats right...hundreds or even thousands.

Here is a photo.


And a video about it...sorry for the copyright stamped across the video...



The web consumes seven large trees, dozens of bushes, and the ground is is 200 yards in length. Park rangers say it used to be white, but has trapped so many mosquitoes that it has since turned a brown color.

Here is the link to the news article. As much as I hate spiders, I think it would be cool to check out.

Sweet Nike Commercials

Check out these two sweet Nike commercials. Not only are they well filmed, and fun to watch, but they feature the San Diego Chargers. Check 'em out below:


Here is one with MVP LaDainian Tomlinson



And one with Outside LB Shawne Merriman




Wow...2 posts in two days...

Challenging Video

So, if you read Josh Griffins blog, then you have probably already seen this video, but if not, then you should definitely watch it here. Its a video made by Granger Community Church and their youth ministry and I think it has a powerful statement.





The real question is...does it make your heart hurt enough to do something?

football season has started!!

Thats right, the official NFL season has started. Chargers play the Bears this Sunday at Qualcomm Stadium at 1:15. It should be a great game, plus, SD's first string is in this time. The Chargers had a decent preseason and played very well in both their defense and offense, so their season looks promising.

Check out these highlights from the Louisville vs. Middle Tennessee...WOW...that would have been a supper exciting first half to watch. Check out the video...click here
