Hmm. No Taglines Here.
I'm a fan of biking, running, hiking, backcountry camping and exploring the incredible outdoors.
This category has all my posts related to the outdoors including my guide to running in Atlanta, bike commuting and my hiking stories.

I’ve been commuting around Athens, GA via bike for 3 years now.

I lived in Georgia knowing about the Appalachian Trail for more than 12 years before I ever set foot on it. I’m not sure why, except inertia and other priorities. I also never really thought about it like a simple trail that you could hike on. For some reason, it sounded like a much bigger deal than it actually is. I think it’s all the focus on the practice of thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail rather than the actual trail itself.
Either way, like many would-be hikers, I read Bill Bryson’s A Walk In The Woods in July 2010, and promptly decided to invite my brother and brother-in-law on a short day hike from Woody Gap to Neels Gap in Georgia the first week of August 2010.
