Heathpack, dont take this to heart, but right now I absolutely hate you. A couple years ago I spent 10 days right where you are now (or were) It was and still is one of the finest weeks+ of riding I have ever done. Get up ride for half a day or so, eat lunch, shower, nap, ride some more, shower, have dinner, a few beers, , sleep, do it again. It was awesome. I rode with, umd ( he's a legend around these parts of the intertubes) while I was there. and stayed with Joel and his family in Sacramento the week before that. I later rode 50 miles one way to Hollywood, and did the climb to the sign then rode back to the hotel. That was an awesome month.
Must do this again, soon.
