Going Mobile
It’s time to take my blog mobile. There have been too many times that I have been on an epic (it’s all relative) ride and I was inspired to snap a photo or post some random thought, but had no convenient way to do it.
Now, armed with my iPhone 3G, I’m ready to hit the road…
Tour of Califonia coming to San Diego?
I heard from a guy who knows a guy who has a friend, whose sister said that the Tour of California may be coming to San Diego next year. Rumor has it that The Tour Organizers are thinking about potentially holding three stages in and around San Diego.
Stage X: A road stage that incorporates the South Grade of Mt. Palomar.
Stage Y: A time trial along the coast
Stage Z: A criterium in downtown La Jolla that utilizes the old La Jolla Grand Prix course.
How totally cool would it be if this happened. Can anyone confirm or deny?
Question: To ride or to work?
The answer: Ride!
I snuck out a bit early today and went for a 44.3 mi excursion through Fairbanks Ranch, Rancho Santa Fe, headed up to La Costa toward the coast and then back south along the coast. I was planning to go out easy today, but still managed to average 18.3 mph. Considering it was windy and I was riding alone, that’s not too bad for and old guy.
It’s days like today when I’m stoked that I live in San Diego. It’s the dead of winter in much of the country - world for that matter - and I get to hop on my bike and ride on a perfectly sunny day with temperatures in the mid 60s through some of the most scenic terrain in the world.
It’s also days like today that I’m reminded of why Team Climb On was formed and why the fundraising we do is so worthwhile.
Life is good!
