Southern California - Reseda to San Diego, done/pics

Ride was owned, 40-60 degree weather the whole way there was too cold for me but with enough clothes it was possible.

Coined phrases during the ride

"LA JOLLAAAAAAAA"
"It's a ways"(this meant anywhere between 5 miles to 75 miles lol)
"This ride aint NOOOoooo Joke"(after mile 140 and pitch dark...this ride started to hurt)

here are the pics, i dont write long stories, it was fun and ****

I've never seen you pose like this before. Damn good pictures!

That Optik Pearl Izumi jacket is the best thing I've ever owned!!

thats how we roll in the hood yo.

Thanks

Good job Ovo !

Good job Ovo. Why do you guys look so serious?

You are one crazy mofo.

*highfive* :D

All the other men on here are so going to boo me, but you are so handsome, Ovo. When you're around 30 years old, you're going to be a considerable force with the women. ;)

Good job! :beer:

Nice expedition! I'm not even going to make any brokeback jokes!

Smile, Ovo, smile...

You did a great job!

YES..thank you. And they wad down into nothing...

Good job!

...and hubba hubba.;)

Mary...have you not heard of the expression start 'em young and train 'em up right? :D

Well, I have a history of mothering Ovo (much to his chagrin, I'm sure), so the thought of Mrs. Robinsoning him doesn't work. But I like to compliment him. He's shier in person than on here. Like I said, I predict that once he hits his thirties...;)

Nice expedition! I'm not even going to make any brokeback jokes!

Not even for this one?

i could say something along the lines of how super cute it is that the two of them are matching.....so precious!


but that would be cheap and more than likey uncalled for.

Sigh. :rolleyes: You men are so silly with that. Look it, ALL of you wear spandex, ride in packs, fiddle with your tubes and brag about your overpiced stems to each other while out riding.

Just sayin'...:D

If anything, i'd be bragging about how cheap my stem was. ;)

Good point...however, you're still referring to your stem while talking to another man. :p

Good job! (n00b)

You also didn't get permission to enter my town. You'll be hearing from my "associates."

dang your fat..

I'm not ashamed of revealing my 90mm stem size to another man. I have smallish feet too.

Your feet size have nothing to do with your stem size. :rolleyes:

Not according to these statistics.

You brat, you knew I'd click on that fake link. :p

So the boys tell ya, huh? :D

Good job :beer:
In the last month you showed what you mad off with the 90+ miles to SB and the 170+ to SD; in 2008 you should go for a tripple crown!

So the boys tell ya, huh? :D

You must be really relaxed right now considering all the "stress relief" you've had at our expense all afternoon.:rolleyes:

Cool ride. Nice pics.

Good job Ovo!

Where did you stop for food (and what did you eat) along the way?

Good job Ovo!

Noahs New York Bagels for breakfast. Ate a sandwhich and green tea.

Ihop(nothing else around). Chicken sandwhich and orange juice

That place in the picture. Chicken sandwhich and green tea

Fred's in San Diego had a chicken breast with some rice and crap.

I'm pretty predictable when it comes to eating out :)

Trips for 2008 are

LA to San Francisco
LA to San Diego.

The San Diego will be tough because we cant take the highway, have to take all sorts of side sstreet ****.

both of those are planned for summer. I aint riding through the COLD desert.

they'll be multi day trips

multi day?!?!?!?!!!?? you are wussie!

multi day?!?!?!?!!!?? you are wussie!

to Vegas is like 600+ miles taking back roads.

Bikes arent allowed on interstate highways

Uh...no. Scoot and I are buds. He knows I'm yanking his chain. He's also as straight as they come. He can take the ribbing.

What's your excuse for not being able to? :D

they'll be multi day tripsA couple suggestions:

1) Start in San Fran and ride down. The winds are much more favorable and it's easier to take pics coming down the west side of the roads.

2) To Vegas in summer? Are you nuts? It was 118 degrees last time I drove to Vegas in the summer! I really hope by summer you mean nothing later than May, or else I'll want to know where to send the flowers.

well its cold in the winter, we havent really planned the Vegas one but we are definitely going to do that one. but it is going to be a LONG TRIP to vegas.

I already rode from San Fran to LA, i want to try the other route!! :) but that one is up in the air for now.

I signed up for Death ride lottery too next year
