The San Francisco Randonneurs are notorious for using Safeways as controls on their brevets. If you know the layout for a typical Safeway, you can save a lot of time hunting for your favorite rest stop snacks when you’re riding with SFR.

This is hilarious. I'll pile on with my brother's story. He got rejected by UC Berkeley and accepted by UCLA. Not to be deterred, he wrote an appeal letter that stated: "Don't let me go to UCLA. After 4 years there I won't know what a tree looks like." UC Berkeley reversed its denial and enrolled him. Southern California: Distance expressed in time (Anaheim is 45 minutes from here)
Northern California: Distance expressed in miles (Folsom is 12 miles away)
And yes, up here the cities have actual edges, where you’re out in the country on the way to the next city. --Eric N, Who Moved From SoCal to NorCal 25 years Ago and Has Never Looked Back The differentiation for me when I moved north in 1988 is there's spaces between towns in Northern California. If you grew up in LA/Orange Counties you understood towns as different signs on the same vast concrete landscape. On Tuesday, December 20, 2022 at 2:13:42 PM UTC-8 Matthew Williams wrote:
I thought the way you knew Northern from Southern California was if people named freeways with “The”:
“This is the 101” = you’re in Southern California “This is 101” = you’re in Northern California “That was Highway 101” = you’re listening to a classic rock station
If you have a Safeway, you're in Northern California. If you've got a Vons, you're in SoCal.

The Bay Area isn't Northern California says the guy from Humboldt County. We have way less traffic and better air. 😉 Dude living in San Francisco here: it’s pretty great 💅🏻

At this time of the year I have to admit that I'm a bit jealous of cyclists who live in California, especially in the the NoCal area of the "Frisco" bay. Lately I've been leering enviously at YouTube videos posted by "Henry Wildberry" where he and his riding companion(s) are cycling up and down some excellent North Bay area hilly/mountainous paths and roads equipped with little more than "fair weather" garments vs. what we have to wear in the Midwest Winters. Makes me want to move there...but not really.
