it is the girl who sat next to me when i was in that coma for a month, and I used to live with before i got sick, yes I am trying to avoid a cab or the bus.

neither one of us wear glasses on a daily now. she rides a trek t1, i have the kuota,
she sold most of my bikes when i dropped into the coma, they sold surprisingly quickly in retrospect.

and I am trying to avoid taking my bike, everytime I have flown with my bike, aside from the cost, the bend my wheels.

Wait a sec... SJC is in San Jose proper. It isn't like Denver or Oslo, where the airports are 73 miles from downtown, but in San Jose, downtown is only a couple of good golf drives from Terminal C.

I'd get ya, but I don't have a car either. :/

San Jose has to be the most boring place I've ever been. And I live in Ohio.

With the exception of the Kit Kat club, there is simply nothing to do there unless it's NHL season.

or that girl you're meeting; I guess you could do her.

And the Kit Kat club isn't in SJ, it's in Sunnyvale! Hah! Right down the street from Fry's.

This further proves my point.

That place is SUCH a dive. I once saw a stripper in there who dropped her panties and it actually turned me off. YUCK! It sounded like someone opened a tackle box when she removed her undies.

Forgot about Bay 101. That's technically inside San Jose, right? That's a reason to go there, but only as a stopover on the way to something else.

Wait a minute. It is a solid 7-8 hours on a good day from San Jose to the border. Why not fly into San Diego or something?

How long are you staying for if you decide to come out?
If for lnger than a day or two, what size bike you ride? I could probably put together a beater out of all the parts I have not doing anything but causing me to step over and around, and of course don't mind riding fixed.

oh, the cuteness! sounds like a little love is in the air.

I agree, traveling with a bike can be a PITA, especially considering what some airlines charge for the average traveler with "sports equipment". you could BUY a beater on the other end for that.

San Jose CA is WAY farther north than 1 hour from Mexico. San Jose is a ~4 hour car ride north of LA, and L.A is about 3 hours north of the Mexican border.

One hour north of the border is southern Orange County.

Court, now that you have confused all of us--exactly where are you going?

San Jose is in the San Francisco Bay Area. It's about the middle of the state.

no. San Jose is just south of San Francisco.

edit: Atascadero is about 20 mi north of San Luis Obispo. Very Central CA.

Weigh the $200 savings against the approximately 3 hour drive from San Jose to Atascadero; might be a wash, especially with a car rental.

Post something on Craigslist. Someone ought to be driving that way and could use company and gas money.

Ah! So you need a ride from SJC to Atascardero. That's not a short drive, unfortunately.

But try CL, there may very well be someone driving down there anyway.
