The Eagle Has Landed

post #1 of 54

Thread Starter 
Well, I got my first taste as a California resident mountain bike in
about fifteen years yesterday. Sure, I've ridden here a lot the last
ten years, but it just seemed different as an expatriate Fruitian. The
views provided by the combination of the elevation of the Santa Anas,
Santa Ana Winds, the singlespeed and Colorado lungs were really nice.
Seeing Catalina was kind of "ho-hum", but Anacapa's appearing clearly
in the distance was unique. It was a good point from which to view
where I will do most of my riding the next few years.
JD can you say "road trip"?

You've moved back to So Cal??? I never thought I'd see the day. Wow. It
must be nice to be closer to the off spring. Now I really need to get my
sorry ass back into my pre-kids shape so I can keep up with you. BTW, I
know you used to surf back in the day, have you seen the monster swell
that's hitting? OC is a bit blocked by Catalina but SD is getting 12+ foot
swells. Let me know if you're going to be in Laguna at any point, first
beer is on me. After the ride of course. Glad to have you back brother.

One little sentence and you can't even get it right.

Again the lucky guy is smack in the middle of great riding.

I'll be out there in mid April. Don't know if I'll get to ride but stop
by the Anaheim Convention Center and say hi. That goes for all you
SoCal folk.

Glad to hear you made it in one piece. Guess I'll have to start begging
others in CO to ride with me when I'm up there. Of course now you've given
me no excuses when my wife wants to visit her family in SoCal....

Ya know what's interesting about A.M-B? Whenever one nimrod shows up
another drops out of sight. Coincidence? And they all seem to have the
same agenda to the same person. Hmm.... The Minds of Billy Milligan.

That's a good start. Next time leave out the apostrophe in "its" as well.
