The Genesee Valley Greenway: Part II

Categories: Biking

Today’s bike journey is through the 6.7 miles of the Genesee Valley Greenway that starts in Letchworth state park (Portageville entrance, east side of the gorge).

Day of Relaxation

Biking the Genesee Valley Greenway

Categories: Biking

Woke early this morning, somewhere around 6:30 am. Man that hurts when you’re on vacation.

Will we be burning selected texts next?

Categories: Politics

Always love to here a story like this one. Should I be concerned if I choose to read a role playing book the next time I ride on public transportation? And this is supposed to make me feel safer? Maybe tomorrow I should exercise my 2nd ammendment rights.

RUSH 30th Anniversary Tour

Categories: Musical Inspiration

Ok, next time I complain about the price of a ticket to a Rush concert someone please smack me in the head to remind me why it’s worth it. Sunday nights concert is hands down, one of the best Rush shows I have ever been to. Not just because I was in the fourth row, … Continue reading →
