Southern California - So Cal needs a long thread "What's Up?" type thread!

Ever have dreams that you know can never come true? :(

If my dreams came true, I'd be in some serious SH*T...

Ever have dreams that you know can never come true? :(Umm... I really believe I can fly. :D

Heading out for dinner at Outback, then prep my bike and clean up my place. My sis will be flying in tomorrow, and my dad on Wednesday. :D

Umm... I really believe I can fly. :D

ya know, pigs can fly too :D

ya know, pigs can fly too :D

So that's what landed on my head...
I thought it was just a big pidgeon that flew over....

ewwww!!!!!!! stink city!!!!

Took longer than I wanted for dinner. Went to RB, ordered a beer and a salad, happened to run into my coworker and talk with him a bit. Then ate my salad while covertly taking glances at the two girls who I sat next to at the bar. Since I ended up talking with them and they were ordering another round of food, I decided to stay around for dessert and hang out some more. It was fun, and they live practically right next to me, so one of them asked for my number and we may hang out again. We'll see...

Anyway, gotta prep for tomorrow.

I always get dropped on the flats

do some more rides with me and we'll cure that part:D I just suck at climbing, long climbs that is. The short climbs I can sprint and power over.

"Able to keep up with the main pack on climbs" is relatively to the ppl I was riding with.

The problem with riding with you is that I'll get dropped regardless of whether we're on flats, climbs or descents! :lol:

LMAO, I won't drop you if you ask:p

Dave, if those girls I met tonight ever call me up for a bike ride (the idea did get discussed), we should pace them around. We'll probably seem like Lance Armstrong to them, but it would be fun. For once, we could be more than capable of holding our own. :)

Cheat sheet to self: Nicole and Lindsey.

Oooh... thanks! ;)

No, not on the Toyota race team.

I came across this and found it rather amusing.

on of the guys on the club I'm riding with has a Toyota United Bike, he sold off all the parts and went campy record. Bling bling on stuff there for a "simple" blue bike.

Anyone going to the 'cross race in Torrance this morning? I'll be there. :)

(Bye Jason, have a great ride!)

That's not a Campy crank. :eek: No wonder you hurt your leg.

That's the S-Works carbon. You try and find me a 165 Record crank, Dan! :rolleyes::p

I'm off to ride Newport Coast and Back Bay.
Only have a short amount of time so should be a good ride, although short.

No wonder your leg hurts. It's too short.

"Pardon me, but how much did your bike cost?"

Is it...
A) Honest curiosity
B) A pick-up line (never had a girl ask me that)
C) Census taking



My typical answer: "Quite a bit." (Non-cyclists wouldn't understand)

Was past by 14 riders going up Newport Coast.
They were some club, said Hi to almost all of them, but they were huffin' and
puffin' so much couldn't talk! I just talked away trying to get them to say somethin'.
But I was the only one the continued up Vista Park to the top.....

Average 6.5 m/h up N/C, and 4.5 up Vista.
Dang, I'm fast!

Then had my first flat in a few months coming down San Juaquin..
glad it was on the rear tire!

The Performance wind jacket was a big help on this chilly day too!

"Pardon me, but how much did your bike cost?"
(Non-cyclists wouldn't understand)

It cost me all my free time.

And all my excess fat.

Could be a pick-up line. I have never had anybody ask me how much my bike cost. :rolleyes:

And all my excess fat.

Wish I could've paid in fat instead of cash. :o

"A", I think....

I just smile an evil little grin.
Non cyclists just don't understand.

I'm RICH!

I have never had anybody ask me how much my bike cost. :rolleyes:

I get asked about once a week if I'm riding alone. Sometimes at the coffee shop, sometimes if I'm stopped at a light.

Honey, all you could afford with your fat is a Target $49.95 "mountain" bike special.

I've been making big deposits at "the bank" lately. :(

Between your ears maybe...:rolleyes:

I've been making big deposits at "the bank" lately. :(....as long as they don't ask you to fill out a form each time you make your deposit you've got nothing to worry about. We are talking about a bank?

We are talking about a bank?

Uh... no.

Uh... no.Boy, I'm so stupid!

I touched the power supply plug on something else on the laptop, and now the power supply is bad. I must have shorted it out. Doh!
