AM Ride

I went out again this morning to ride. I decided I was going to do something different. I was going to ride hard for 5 min. then ride at a relaxed pace for 5 min. It ended up being a good workout. Here are the stats:

Washington & Old Dominion Trail — PM Ride

Went for another ride this evening. At the start, I felt tired so I didn't know how far I would go. Below are the stats from the ride.

Washington & Old Dominion Trail

Well, I'm in Reston, VA for the next little bit in training. At the advice of a co-worker, I brought my bike–thanks David. He said that from the Siebel building, I could hop on this great trail.

Well, it turns out that my hotel is also on the trail. The trail is the Washington & Old Dominion Trail and it is nice. 40+ miles long. Paved. If you live around the trail, go for a ride. I woke up early this morning so I could do my Bible Study and then go for a ride. I ended up and rode 20.6 miles in 1 hr 18 min. On the way back, I thought I could average 16 mph, but I didn't (I got 15.7).

I'm planning on riding in the mornings and evenings while I'm here. I'll kep my blog up to date.

Risk the Journey

I just finished reading Risk the Journey by Bill Leonard. The tagline reads "Answering God's Call to Proclaim His Word". I would rank the book as only ok. I'm glad it was a short read (125 pages) so I didn't spend too much time on it.

Bluetooth, Technology, and Saudi Arabia

I was surfing today and ran across these three articles:

In Saudi Arabia, a high-tech way to flirt
Coffee Shops Double as Entertainment Centers

This made me wonder if there is a way to take advantage of this. Since it is illegal to try and convert people from Islam in Saudi Arabia, I wonder if there is a way you could share via bluetooth. This would still be illegal, but it would be harder to trace. And, if everyone is doing this, they are already primed for bluetooth use.
