Benny Hinn .... I love that guy ! He had the best hairdo 10 years ago .... Looked like a UFO on his head.
Watching those shows is fascinating ... in a scary sort of way.

I got assigned to a Big Bear Lake project in Cali. Anyone know if there is any good riding out there?

Yes, there is good riding there and good mtb riding too. The best part is you have access to all of the local SoCal riding areas and training rides with a bit of driving.

A great tribute to the late great Bruce Lee!

"Iron Monkey" is another modern classic.

If you want you can drive to the beach and ride the mup.

Or come over to my area.

I actually went to the ToC last May and watched the Big Bear Lake Stage from just north of Running Springs. Prior to that my wife and I spent a few days in Santa Barbara. Where exactly is your area?

I hate living with an HOA in a condo. I've had to ask them if I'm allowed to store a Laser sailboat on the trailer in one of my 2 allotted parking spaces. Even though there's no rule against it, they still have to ask the board members.

There's 3 members, and one of them is my mom, so I think I'm ok, but it's still a PITA. I have to wait to buy a trailer hitch and boat until I'm sure that I have somewhere to store it.

Tires pumped? Surely you aren't using butyl tubes!

I live 50+ miles west of Running Springs but that picture is just west of Wrightwood which was also on that ToC stage.

Actually rode from home to see them go by near Dawson Saddle.

My bike is filthy from wet training rides this week. I can see my number from last weekend hanging off of the kitchen bulletin board and not on my jersey. I hope that I don't forget to bring it tomorrow. Most of my riding gloves and socks are in the dirty laundry pile. I still have to swap pads in my brake pad holders so that I don't chew up my race wheels. Too busy at work to do any "openers" today and my wife's sister from Milwaukee (actually Shorewood which is a nice suburb) is in town so "family time" dinner is on the evening agenda. I can't even fake them indoors this evening.

See ya tomorrow!
