I traveled last week to Orange County, NY for work and with the Holiday on Moday I didn't have much time to blog. Little known fact, Orange County, NY is the actual home of Orange County Choppers, not Orange County, CA. I thought it was Orange County, CA myself. For those of you even less in the know than myself, OCC is featured on the show American Chopper on Discovery Channel. I did go by their store while I was there but not being into choppers myself I wasn't too impressed. They did have quite a few of the custom choppers on display, which were very cool, but I didn't feel the need to buy an OCC T-shirt or coffee mug.

Elanna, Marc and I did the Mesquite Rodeo Bike Rally this weekend. This was Elanna's first Rally and we had a lot of fun. Elanna and I rode the 40 mile route, and while we were not THE last people to finish, we were close, there was a police car following us for the last few miles so they could close the route after we were done.

The guy who runs bicyle-stuff.com took lots of pictures and we ended up in a few.

Reading

I just finshed Codelia's Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold which is the first book of the Vorkosigan Saga.
Very good book, but the Sci-Fi bits are really secondary to the story.

Right now I'm reading The Lost Fleet Series by John Hemry/Jack Campbell It's sorta Honor Harrington but not really, though Honor Harrington even goes downhill in the later novels.
