I DIDN'T Ride My Bike Today, Cuzz....

"Neglect" is vague. Grey area is your friend.

 

I hope you went here. I had work in Placentia last week and ate there twice. I recently discovered that they have a location in El Segundo as well. I dare say the best seafood tacos that I’ve had.

 

And you didn't stop by to see me? I work in Placentia! Next time hit me up. I'll sneak out for lunch.

I'll have to try this place. The restaurant it replaced was not my fave.

 

Oh dang, I either didn't know, or forgot that you worked there (probably the latter). I had one meeting get postponed, so I'll let you know as soon as it reschedules, and maybe we can have a taco date. That said, I'm all but certain this is just the same business under a different name. I feel like it's even the third name in the last year or two, but the food and menu are exactly the same as far as I can tell.

 

Actually I did.....but I did get out for a hike this morning. My sister is trying to get into better shape and asked to go for another hike. So her, my niece, cousin, aunt and Suz headed over to the Oaks. There was some WTF's when I showed where we were going. Immediately we were climbing.

They all did great. Yelled at a bunch of ebikers.

We only did 2.5 miles and 350' but I think it lit a fire under them.

Good times.

 

My pic was Old Spaghetti Factory but the train station.

 

Unsettled weather has coincided with a work bubble. Gotta love when that happens.

I don't mind the screen time. I'll be kicking my ass around the Lake starting this weekend. Shooting for no re-supply stops, just ground water. My Oneup pedals and WTB Pure showed up, sweet cockpit upgrade. So ready to blaze...

 

Replaced the windshield wipers on the kid's car and bought her a new printer. Then helped finish setting up the wife's classroom.

I did ride the trainer. 15 miles in Innsbruck, Austria on the UCI Short Course.

 

After I returned from my trip to @SnakeCharmer @UPSed and @buggravy land, I was debating riding vs surfing. 85° air temp would mean about 95° on the climbs, meanwhile the ocean is 70° and no wind with a nice 2-3' swell. Is that even a question?

 

My wife took off early from work, and we did a hike with the dog on the fire road above our house. Got eyes on another unnamed single track that starts about 2 miles from my house. The part I can see didn't look like anything special, but it's something, and yet another piece to add that I can pedal to from my driveway. Google Earth was inconclusive about where it ends, so I guess it's times to explore.

 

It certainly looks like it is being used regularly.

 

I walked about 50 yards of it, and it's a proper trail for sure, though one with a subtle entrance off the fire road. It had bike tire tracks on it too. I'm going to roll over there this morning and see what's up

 

Glad I’m not the only one who’s sees a new to me trail and gets all excited “squirrel”!!!!!!

 

Didn't ride because I was looking at old buildings ready to be replaced with a high rise...
Interesting how many assault rifles I see the authorities carrying here. Don't see that in the US.

 

My wife and I just celebrated 30 years of marriage and were there too -Rome, Italy. We did the Vatican walking tour and the Collesium walking tour while we were there. I was bold enough to take this pic in Pisa.

 

Try the global heat map on Strava... I've found a lot of stuff that doesn't exist that way.

 

Congratulations on a milestone that fewer and fewer couples hit nowadays.

 

Inspiring work, both of you! Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Stkx.


That's all you're gonna get outa me in this thread today. Cuz... I can sleep when I'm dead. I can work when it's raining. But, today?...

 

Will be going to carrara next week before we leave. Wasn't originally on the itinerary, but the owner of the company I now work for lives there and he wants to meet me, so a detour it is!

Tonight we do a night tour of the Coliseum, no crowds.... looking forward to it, should be fun!

 

Enjoy your time there! It goes by fast. We went to 5 cities and didn't stay any one place for more than 3 nights. It was a busy trip for us. I had hoped to get in some sort of ride in Florence but it didn't work out. BTW Trailforks in Italy works!

 

Thats cheating!

 

Took the family up Maple Springs road for a picnic. My son wanted to ride so I brought his balance bike with us, he loved it up there and must’ve done 1000 laps around the car.

Nice to get out, even if I wasn’t on my bike. Although having my son so excited to ride where we were is good enough for me.

 

Ok... This shuttle is on the approved list.

 

Haha.. He wanted to bring his pedal bike but I talked him down to the balance bike.

I did tell my wife that she might have to leave us there next time and drive down while we ride down.

 

Do you have a lift on your 4Runner, or were you able to fit larger tires with the stock suspension?

 

No lift, same size tires as stock. No rub at all even when brand new.

 

Awesome

 

Cuzzzzzz We just broke our Serpentine belt on the 15 South in Idaho between nowhere and somewhere less than that. Triple A to the rescue.

 

It’ll be good as new shortly. Sounds like a long haul tomorrow though.
