Yep it's weird, I seem to live exactly in the wrong place for this area...I almost have to drive to
get a nice ride. I do like to ride to Ocean Beach and walk/run the beach. I am just going to have to
get used to traffic if I want to ride without getting in the truck first! My bike club
pequotcyclists.com have a ride on Sunday...since I've never ridden with them (it's true) I am going.
They should be a wealth of info.
I did a ride in Mexico in January for a week. It was really good to know I can do 240 miles in a
week. Learning to ride here at home is next!! Thanks for your help...ALL info is much appreciated.
