Newbie from SoCal
Hello all - getting back into the cycling groove after a short 40 year hiatus. I used to ride with my father back in the 70’s on a Mondia and have since rebuilt a 84 Trek, so my roots run deep. I look forward to possibly hooking up on vintage rides and conversation with folks like me.

Welcome to BF!...from another So Cal guy.
You might be interested in the Velo-Retro ride that starts at the Rose Bowl on the first Sunday of every month... Had a great time on Sunday at the monthly Velo-Retro Ride in Pasadena, CA.

Maybe I’ll see ya at the RB loop sometime. It’s a pretty regular part of my cycling diet.

Welcome, from SE Wisconsin.
You're lucky to be in a place where you can ride year 'round. You will sweat more than I will, but you don't know it, as it will dry up so quickly, hehehe.
Watch out for the cagers; they're not as considerate or attentive as they were 40 years ago. Best bet is to attach a fake GoPro to the top of your helmet, pointing behind you and they will give you some room.
Enjoy your stay.
