Where do you live and how nice is it? - Page 3

No, I'm 60 miles south of Rochester near the Allegheny Co. line.

I now live in Tenerife, off the coast of Africa... it's currently quite warm considering the time of year. ALL the roads are either up or down, so you really have to be fit. Right out my back door is a continuous 2300m climb, starting from sea level!

Kent, 'The Garden of England', rolling green hills, castles, quaint little villages and a coastline dotted with picturesque fishing villages.

Unfortanately I live bang in the middle in a stinkhole called Ashford or as the locals have renamed it 'Trashford', mind you we have a great cycling community and the Tour de France is comming through my town for a second time next year, so it's all swings and roundabouts (Mostly roundabouts!)

Howzit,

I live in Cape Town, RSA and this is a great city, the MTB ing is great. Lots of mountain trail rides and 4x4 trails that offer great views. The road biking offers rides around the peninsula as well as the famous rides out in the wine routes.

The weather is typical coastal so a cooking summer day cold be followed by rain the next and of course we are known for our wind. Winter is another story and the Name the Cape of storms is not used lightly scores of sailing ships wrecked on our coastlines during the 1800's prove the point. The citizens of Cape Town are a sporting lot and if you drive around the Peninsula over a weekend you'll see folks of all shapes and sizes, Boating, fishing (salt and fresh water), SCUBA diving, rock climbing, hiking, hang gliding, parrasailing, kyaking, cannoing and surfing to name a few.

As a MTBiker and Scuba diver and happily married father of two, a weekend is not quite long enough to cover every activity on offer. So Cape Town is quite laid back, buisiness men sneak off for a surf or a glass of wine at a wine farm, Wensdays afternoon is golf day for most and Fridays is sort of unofficially a half-day. Most guys like myself get up the mountain during the week after work and the roadies get out early before work to miss the traffic.

Yep! we love it here.

I live in SF Bay Area (Santa Clara), California and I think it is as good as it gets. There are a lot of cyclists and so many great places to ride, great weather too

I don't think CA is a nice place to live because it is too expensive! I once read in the paper about a couple who made $110,000 a year and they were homeless living in a shelter! Like isn't rent and the cost of houses expensive in CA? Sure, the weather is nice, but I've heard CA also has nasty traffic.

When I look for jobs, I look for any other states besides CA, WA, TX, FL, MN, and LA.

Ha ha, yeah you ain't joking there bud, I was out in Playa De Las Americas a couple of years ago and all I could see was the bloody volcano on Tenerife and nothing else. Sorta made me glad I didn't take me bike.

It's all relative JT. I find myself not really interested in working anywhere near McMurdo Sound either. Although there is a lot of work there, it's not my cup o' tea.
