Awww....Mo. :love: You my hero! And in my own defense, I love you people :p and this really is my stress relief (I don't take breaks at work like many of the other employees do for smoking, coffee, etc. - or even lunch sometimes! - I'm pretty much at my desk unless running around the office for work related tasks). Oddly enough, since joining, my boss has given me my highest performance review! I'm actually tremendously productive. But then again, I rarely read whole threads and just read a couple of posts down or so and either respond or don't, then I pop off again (so I'm on and off all day). That's my trick. I do NOT come on here and read full threads especially if several pages have gone by, which is why sometimes I don't know what is going on. But since this is such a fluid forum anyway, it doesn't seem to matter and you guys rarely know that I am not caught up and am just jumping in! :D

I carry by blackberry, what of it? :p Hey, I checked out your photos. Nice! Clearly, you're a photographer.

You should tell your boss that if he bought all of us PowerTap Zipp 404's, we'd ride a little faster, and that would leave you a few extra minutes for work. It's for the good of IHP shareholders. Any benefits we get are purely incidental.

I saw y'all in Lagoona Sunday while sitting at Taco Loco enjoying a beer and tacos. It would seem that some of you are not very comfortable splitting traffic.

I remember a lot of people when riding through that section, but even if you waved at me I probably wouldn't notice you. I was too busy focusing on the road. :lol:
I have very poor handling skills, so I'm always a little worried that I'll swerve onto a car or something when going thru narrow passages between cars. I started by riding between the right most lane and the parked cars, but after a while, I gave up and just took up a lane waiting with the cars.

Somewhere in that mess, I clipped an SUV mirror with my shoulder. That wasn't very comfortable.

Splitting traffic definitely takes superior handling skills and awareness. I didn't envy you at all though because it was quite the convoluted mess down there. My escape came a little earlier in the day about a mile or so down the coast:
