My pleasure. If you have the flexibility on where to locate, I think San Diego should be high on your list. Spend some time down there checking it out. Our post ride conversation centered around what a great cycling city SD is. Esteban can give you more information on specifics (whole new topic!) but the only downside would be hills and lack of water. I think that's going to bite 'em (and all SoCal) in the butt sometime soon.
But yeah, come on down and see the sights! If you haven't yet, go through the SoCal rides and read/see what's available down here. EVERY one of these rides has been an eye-opener for me. I've enjoyed seeing the new areas and meeting new folks so much. They're just great! http://www.flickr.com/groups/socal_rivendell_bicycle_appreciation_society/pool/ On Sun, May 2, 2010 at 12:28 PM, Me <clotht...@gmail.com> wrote: > Jebus, another gorgeous slideshow!! > > Thank You for sharing, David. > > Man, you folks are making my wife, Amy, and me reconsider our thinking > on NorCal for our next relocation... these pics + riding look > absolutely amazing & fantastic!
