I think I need to try and find a new profile pic. current one seems a bit out of place.
I am so sore. Sunday I spent about 6 hrs on a lake kayaking, then yesterday went mtn biking with a small group that was way out of my range for the shape I'm in. They actually all train together for adventure racing. The challenge, phrased as an offer, was put out there and I couldn't say no. Was left with a "call us when you get into shape and we'll really ride".
I'm also looking for a good book. Any suggestions welcome

I'm in TN, still in the US for now. I'm leaving for Houston on Sunday and after a week there, I'm off to Iraq for a year.
No motorbike for a whole year...sigh...
Unless I rent something when I take my vacation after 4 months in Iraq.
I'm thinking about heading to Amsterdam for 2 weeks!!
Good books? Heres a few suggestions: Foucaults Pendulum (Umberto Eco ISBN 0-09928715-3) is a great novel Im just finishing highly recommended, as is all Ecos stuff. For a more factual read, try Easy Riders, Raging Bulls (Peter Biskind, ISBN 0-7475-4421-2), a highly amusing account of Hollywood during the 60s and 70s. Let me know what sort of stuff youre into and Ill see if I can come up with some good suggestions.
Thanks btw for the comment in mjournal. Regrettably I didnt get to ascend any of the Himalayn peaks, but I did get to two of the base camps Annapurna and Machhapuchhre, which at around 4,100 metres were a good bit higher than most of our European peaks though. So I guess I was happy with that for now...
