    Sitting here watching the sunset over Mt. Tam and thinking, I'm going to
    be riding there soon.

    I was told today that I am it, so next trip here 10 days from now will
    be the offer. I am excited and nervous (for my family) but oh the
    riding possibilities!

    It's a great day!

    If I hear you call it "Cali" just once like many ignorant eastern
    immigrants do, I'm going to go up to the Bay Area and punch you in the
    brain.

    JD

    Did you see me post that yet? I know better. Just like people should
    never use Philly for Philadelphia. A Philly is a horse in my book.
    Cali and Frisco are nonsense words. You are welcome to come up to the
    Bay Area and ride though, which means you would still kick my ass one
    way or another. 😉

    Actually Frisco is fine as long as it's actually Frisco that you are
    talking about. There's one in Co and probably some scattered around
    other Western states as well.

    I knew what you were suggesting.

    You really showed that with, "I don't get the joke."

    Quoted message said:

    Every major city has a proliferation
    of alternative lifestyles. New York, Chicago, LA, and even
    Philadelphia. Your ignorance certainly portrays your homophobia.

    How did I show that I was ignorant of that fact? You *assumed* it.
    Just as you *assumed* that I am homophobic. Thinking a pun or play on
    words is funny does not show a phobia of the group of people that it
    refers to.

    Quoted message said:

    Perhaps living in straight cultured Boise has warped your mind.

    I've been here one year. Opinions were formed much earlier than that.
    But at no point in any post did I actually GIVE my opinion of such
    groups.

    Quoted message said:

    or maybe
    you were molested as a child.

    Only by myself. {:-)

    Quoted message said:

    By your definition, I am certainly not "gay".

    Nor am I.

    Quoted message said:

    However, I do believe
    that as human beings we all deserve some level of understanding and
    respect as long as it does not impose upon our own lives. Whatever
    sexual preference an individual prefers is certainly their own business.

    I wholeheartedly agree with you. You *assumed* my opinions were
    otherwise?

    Quoted message said:

    Most of these people tend to gather in groups because of people like
    you. Everyone needs to be accepted and so they seek out people of the
    same virtues in order to achieve this.

    Quote something I posted that shows I do not "accept" gay people.

    Quoted message said:

    Why calling the Bay Area the Gay Area cracks you up is beyond me.

    Because it is a great play on words that describes some small truth
    about the area.

    Quoted message said:

    Labeling an entire city because you have no understanding of
    demographics.

    I'm labeling it by my *correct* understanding of the demographics of
    that particular area. Bringing in demographics from other areas has
    nothing to do with the topic nor does my not mentioning them show I am
    unaware of the demographics of other areas.

    I hear "Frisco" is a no-no, too. Just "The City" will do.

    Slang is the progression of language. Like it or not, it's here to stay.
    I an native Californian, and although "Cali" sounds kind of dumb, I knew
    what he was saying and it did not bother me in the slightest.
    The only ones that don't like or use "Frisco" are those that live in the
    city.

    So, I think I'll take the 101 to Frisco to see more of Cali. Heck, I'll pass
    through Oakland to check out the bling on the bangers hangin' at the corner.
    Just hope they don't blast a cap in my ass and jack my ride.

    To keep in on topic, there is good riding north and south of San
    Francisco. Go on up to Santa Rosa. Down to Wilder Ranch ( some good riding )
    just have to go inland a mile from the coast to get the sun.
    Or, as mentioned, east to Lake Tahoe.
    As No Cal is relatively open compared to OC/LA ( hope that's OK), you
    should have some good riding.

    Congrats, hope all goes well,

    Drew ( hangin' in the OC)

    "The OC"? Slave to TV?

    It's incredible that a network could create a show about such a boring
    milquetoast homogenous area such as Orange County and make it interesting
    enough to draw an audience.

    Was this not the same network that brought us essentially the same
    show/plot nearly 15 years ago?

    Actually,
    I live here in Orange County California.
    Currently in Rancho Santa Margarita ( home to young families and kids by the
    zillions), and
    moving to Newport Beach June 1st. ( ahhh, 5 block walk to the sand..).
    Can't think of a better time to move to the beach...
    So, not only will I be Mt Biking, ( Moro Canyon will be my new local ride)
    but a beach bum too.

    The Show "O.C." is filmed in L.A. . That's how TV is done, make something
    appear to be what it's not..
    I never have watched it....

    Colorado close by.

  17. Well well. You have arrived on the Left Coast!

    But, as witnessed this winter & spring, you'll have plenty of mud
    riding.

    Tamarancho in Fairfax area and Annendale in Santa Rosa. Some nice
    stuff!

    What kinda shack can you buy for $750,000?!?!?!?

    Like most all of O.C. is milquetoast.
    And RSM was a Bombing range, not a Orange grove. Some of the trails here
    were closed for a short time as the Army came and looked for unexploded
    ordinance. All they found were some dummy bombs.. OOhh scary....
    However, the area of L.A. I was raised in was, at one point, all Orange
    groves and is now all city. Just as most of O.C. is becoming. The sad part
    is that the master planned communities are, through plan and price, keeping
    out anyone but the upper class and upper middleclass. Segregation through
    economics.
    But the riding is still pretty good....
