So for those of you not in the know, I have been residing in Hermosa Beach, California, for over two weeks now. Since many of you have told me how much you love my updates, I figured it was time to sit down and start typing.
I arrived on Jan 5th and immediately took to messing up my cousin’s condo “Tasmanian Devil” style. Before 5 minutes had passed, I had succeeded in dragging in two bikes, and a huge duffle bag full of stuff I would probably not use… though I was minus a coffee grinder which was a HUGE problem. You would think that by now I would have this packing thing down. Then to the chagrin of everyone in the condo complex, I very nicely spread all my bike stuff into the common hallway and took to building my bikes.
The weather here has been less than perfect, but I have managed to overcome this hurdle by riding with arm warmers and a vest. My favorite Sunday ritual is showing up at 7am for the Sunday group ride and listening to all the soft SoCal guys cry about having to ride in 40-50 degree temps. These guys need to toughen up a bit. Maybe I will suggest they come to Boston and ride in sub 20 degree temps. I think they are just upset that they have to cover their bronzed shaved legs with leg warmers.
As for adventures, I have had many. I will try to highlight the best ones for you. Read the rest of this entry »
