Inland Malibu! Funny. How about the West LA/Palms area being refered to as Beverly Hills adjacent. There isn't anything remotely similar between BH and Palms! A friend of mine lives south of Wilshire in Beverly Hills, and whenever she mentions where she lives, she always say's, "The poor side of Beverly Hills."

Rode Big T to Angeles Crest today. Got passed by Lance then drafted him for about 4 miles. It was pretty surreal riding near/next to him.

OK, I ordered the bibs. If they're uncomfortable, I'm blaming you.

GP, thanks for the extra tubes the other day out in BFE. We used one in north O'side and could you believe he wanted me to ask you for a ride back to Irvine!?

I recently got my matching bibs for my club kit. They seem comfortable (haven't ridden with them yet), and it makes the posing complete.

He wasn't my buddy, we had just met at the Camino Real double when he DNF'd and then volunteered. YOU are my buddy anytime you're up in Orange County and need help, call me.
