Kinda crappy pic, but its all I could manage with no daylight. House Mountain is a great place to hike. Pretty cool geography and the steep pitches will keep you heart rate up.

Looking back at Knoxville from the Western Overlook.

Brought my geared bike down from the Gap today to try out a new stem adjustment. Having never ridden a geared bike on the greenway I didn't realize how much fun it is. Now I know why those guys like to go really fast. Too bad its not smooth as a parking lot with all the root-speed bumps, but then it does keep the speeds down and within safe limits. Sure don't want to be running down the wired up walkers with their MP3s.

Now avoiding those people is where the real fun is at.

Nice to ride in short sleeves again and have a beer outside without freezing. Welcome back, sunshine!
