Against my better judgment, I just re-read most of this thread.

Congrats on learning how to not top-post.

Do you know how big "So Cal" is?!?

Greg, while yearning for a shack in the high desert somewhere, does in fact live in the appropriate
region to address your impossibly vague question.

Dude, I wouldn't post a "best ride" because it might not be a best ride to you. Your original post
appeared to be a typical request for ride suggestions and yet you didn't provide any info on what
you were looking for.

I've lived in SoCal my whole life and, yes, I do plan to ride here soon.

> If not, why are you wasting your time here?

I'm not wasting my time here. There's a helluva lot more interesting stuff in a.m-b than reading
about SoCal rides.

Ummm, no.

That's almost as ridiculous as moving to LA any time after 1982. Why would anyone in their right
mind share the goods with an obvious whiner?

Greg is not an immigrant, especially one that is so offensive as to call California "Cali". Cali is
a city in Colombia, South America. Get it right, tourist.

I thought he lived in Hollyweird.

how about a RR? I'd post one but a) my bike is still at the wrench's house and b) 4 more inches of
snow today.

Uh... thanks for your help! You have been wonderful!

I will try to be more specific with my request:

"Attention those willing to have a harmless, simple conversation about places to ride in Southern
California (yes, the whole bottom half of Cali!). For those who wish to pick apart the question and
stray far from it, start a new thread of their own and talk all day about how much they are better
than everyone on these newsgroups while the rest of us are out riding."

Again, thanks for all your help guys, Garrett

My goodness, garrett, you really need to get over yourself. You're really not all that important.

BTW, "Cali" is not a place in the U.S.

Because, contrary to the evidence, some who post here think it worth their while to attempt to help
by education, stupid, ignorant, small minded, thin skinned little twats like you.

HTH, HAND.

just curious, are you new to Usenet? On any newsgroup that I know of, with the exception of
moderated Microsoft MVP ones, there is no such thing as a simple harmless conversation that stays on
topic. Like the FAQ suggests, pull up a chair and have a beverage of your choice, relax and enjoy
the party. Think of it as an ongoing conversation out on your back deck, with a cast of characters
coming and going, instead of a question and answer session.

Either that, or post a RR of your favorite best new trail.

I beg to differ, tourist. The old post office abbreviation before the two character standard was
implemented was "Calif". Your abbreviation is only common to those who think they are being stylish
and/or tourists. Check your encyclopedia, Cali is only a city in Colombia.

Yes, Cali is usually used by wannabe starlets who end in the **** business because they failed to
make it in the mainstream, or it's used by rap stars. If you wanna be a female **** star or a rap
star I understand. Otherwise, Cali is in Colombia.
