googles of fun

as you may (or may not for that matter) know... i am a very enthusiastic, if somewhat rusty, newbie mountain biker. i love mountain biking. especially the meandering through countryside, watching the beauty unravel before me. not so much the battling up a MoUnTAin, over (yeah, right) rocks, legs unable to push any further, lungs burning, and legs too (from all the sudden rock confrontations...), nor the crazy 5m drop off into a swirling mud pool and then straight onto a pool cue thin plank spanning a gorge the size of the victoria falls (at least from my vantage)... you get the idea, and i digress.

you may also know that i am somewhat of an undercover techie - cool gadget and new technology enthusiast.

considering this, you should be able to imagine my excitement at discovering this article on google's blog... google. mountain bikers. blogging. about mountain biking. like... wow! and there's more... the team has a blog too.

awesome stuff. makes me want to go hit some dirt on my trusty giant, with google earth leading the way...
