I didn't have much time to ride -- mostly I was stuck in meetings, dinners, etc. -- but it would have been nice to sample the local terrain a bit.<BR/><BR/>Don't know if I could have fit in, though. Everyone seemed to be riding in full kits instead of my usual style of a pair of black shorts and whatever jersey is within reach. I might have looked like a Bubba with my black shorts and hair legs!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230350513417318151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15336507.post-30079678847095812212008-10-29T13:31:00.000-08:002008-10-29T13:31:00.000-08:00I'm always tempted to buy a beach cruiser (not tha...I'm always tempted to buy a beach cruiser (not that I live anywhere near the beach). It'd be a sweet bike path, slow cruise into town kinda bike I reckon. Certainly no good on the hills around here.<BR/><BR/>Instead, in the interests of thrift and an attempt to control the bike overcrowding situation, yesterday I started building up my (retired) first MTB as a single speed. Some baloonish type tyres, riser bars and that will have to do me.lemmiwinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12897071451229534159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15336507.post-50668965079788876052008-10-29T10:04:00.000-08:002008-10-29T10:04:00.000-08:00you were in socal! you should have drooped me a li...you were in socal! you should have drooped me a line, what town were you in.
