I like it a lot!
I'll bet you would find some defenders if trouble happened.
And I notice you mentioning now and then food...food...foooood...
It reminds me that in Kansas City there are (or at least used to be) some regular bike group rides that were themed around food: one was a circuit of bakeries; one concentrated on ethnic specialties, etc. I never went on one--I have this notion I couldn't keep up on any group ride. Besides, sometimes I find it pretty hard pedaling on a full stomach! But the idea is appealing.
Aren't there sharks in those San Diego waters, though? :confused:
