Well, Google maps says it's about a 13 hour car ride and buses don't usually take the most direct route. So, it sounds about right to me.

My pop-ins in the live chat room go about as well as my pop-ins went in the 33 Twitter feed: no one takes me seriously.

I guess place is this is more my pace.

Until last fall, I didn't have a laptop. When my last computer needed to be replaced, I replaced it with a laptop.

The accelerations in there are like the ABRT Tu/Th night rides. Just focus on the wheel in front of you, nothing else matters.

Ha ha, given my (non-)success at group rides, that's a bad analogy.

I rented a Mini to drive up and down the CA coast a few years back. That looks familiar*.

It's the second fav because my Fiat 500 is #1.

(To be honest, this is a fairly malleable and nebulous ranking.)



* Not that exact road, just the general terrain and flora.

what's the matter with you? is it that you can't learn or won't learn. velo gator and velo vol both have mastered it.

maybe if you change your name to velo kuf you'll get it.

I really liked minis until I got in one. Don't really like the interior, and it was probably the driver but it didn't seem that amazing from the passenger seat.

i'm with you on the mini. one of those cars you're all supposed to say is cool because it is driven as a statement of cool. i thought it tries too hard and is so cutesy it is only suitable for girls.
