500 posts

Randomer officially has over 500 posts! Most of them are probably frivoulous, but 243 were deemed good enough to receive the "quality" tag, and 208 of them included pictures. Everything labled as a commentary on life, was some sort of commentary on the human condition or life in general, and everything labeled "Jesus Christ" was about the most important topic of all! I also posted a lot of stuff about skiing, mountainboarding, mountainbiking, and snowboarding.


So go check some of those 500 posts out!

Cheers.

So I'm beginning to realize that all of these singletrack shots are starting to look the same.  I think it is mostly this time of year, and the fact that it is all leafless trees with dead leaves on the ground.  Pretty lame actually.  But it was a sweet ride!

Fries

Drink coffee, ride bikes. Good deal!

I got this email, and since I like coffee and like riding bikes, this sounded really cool so here it is:

My name is Donna Wilcox, I am working with BikeAthens this semester and we are trying to spread the word about "Alternative Fuel" a new brew by Jittery Joe's, being sold to benefit BikeAthens. I saw a couple of Greg's posts (but did not see a way to contact him) and thought you all, and your readers may be interested because of BikeAthens mission of making alternative transportation a practical, convenient and safe option for Athens-Clarke County residents and of there's coffee involved. 
 
BikeAthens also promotes transportation and land-use policies that improve alternative modes of transportation, including pedestrian, cycling, and public transit options. Funds raised by BikeAthens go to a number of projects designed to ensure safer alternative travel and to educate all travelers of road legislation. Because Athens is a city of bicyclists, pedestrians and bus riders, I thought this organization and its fundraiser would be of some interest to your readers.
 
For every can sold, BikeAthens gets a percentage of the proceeds. Alternative Fuel is currently available by the cup at all Jittery Joe's cafes, and by the can (for $9) online at jitteryjoes.com/bikeathens and directly from BikeAthens at the Bicycle repair shop in the Chase Street Warehouses. BikeAthens gets a larger percentage if the coffee is purchased directly through the organization.
 
I appreciate your time and hope that you will help us spread the word. If anyone is interested in volunteering or donating old bikes and bike parts, they can visit Bikeathens.com or email admin@bikeathens.com.
 
Thanks in advance
Donna Wilcox
