SFV is a bit of an armpit when it comes to everyth...er...cycling, however around the valley rim (in almost every direction) there's nice places. If I lived there I'd be driving somewhere to ride.
Gotta agree here. The middle of my armpit is hot, sweaty, and stinks.
Regarding the Gatorade dude. First time I saw him I said "Hey Bud!" He offered me a beer.
