    IR's book now available on Amazon?

    Sweet, I just picked up 3 copies. One for myself and a few to share with friends. I wonder how much they'll be worth after they get signed IR?

    Thinking of moving to Qual Hill. Give me the Plus and Minus'...

    If you can't figure out a traffic circle, changes are you're going to run one the 7Cs off the road. Please look out for us ;-)

    ~ The IHB, 7 Circles Cycling Club information, upcoming events and Post-ride reports thread ~

    PM me when you guys go do Nyes place and I'll come out. IMHO the funnest Laguna climb is a reverse take on the 7 sisters bluebird/summit climb. You take (from PCH) Alta-Vista -> Mirada - Summit -> Bluebird Canyon. I like it because you get the ocean view and crazy narrow twisty streets...

    Reputable Banks with Free Checking?

    So I am shopping for a new bank. Is there a reputable bank out there with one or more Irvine branches that has free checking without minimum balances? I'm not going to sign up at a bank that has say a $2000 minimum balance, since you don't receive interest any on your checking account. You're...

    Unemployment-Hits-Five-Year-High

    Looks like the rebate checks mailed out this summer are really helping to stimulate the economy and create jobs. Oh well, at least we're not in a recession, right? <a href="http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm">http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm</a>...

    Best CD and Money Market Rates

    ING is currently at 4.00% for a 12 mo CD, which sucks because last Oct they were offering a 4.5% CD prior to the rampant inflation we've been experiencing this summer. A few weeks ago my WaMu branch was advertising a 5.00% 12 mo CD, but it was an in-branch CD, meaning it differs from their...

    Good write-up Peter. Next time I go riding with you and Prof will have to be on Halloween, since its the only time I won't feel guilty for joining in and eating buckets of ice cream and other junk food...Here's an idea--how about an on-the-bike eating contest. We can have a sag vehicle pass...

    Pacific Coast Triathlon - Sept 7

    How did everyone do? There were a million people this year. Probably over 1000 participants and 3-4000 spectators. The organization was really good and it stayed nice and cool the whole time. Now if only I could get a photographer to take a descent action shot....

    Quail Hill aka Sitting Ducks?

    What data service are you using? Is it free or fee-based? Thats almost a 75% inventory turnover in 4 months--not bad.

    Quail Hill aka Sitting Ducks?

    Is much activity going on in Quail Hill? Redfin shows 47 properties on the MLS in QH but no sales in the last 3 months--which must be in error. However, looking at the still unaffordable prices, I wouldn't be too surprised if nothing is moving. Here's a 2bed/3bath that has been reduced 25%...

    Pacific Coast Triathlon - Sept 7

    Will any other IHB'ers be in the Pacific Coast Triathlon this Sunday? It is in Crystal Cove State Beach just North of Laguna. The PCT is the biggest triathlon in Orange County from what I understand. Registration is still available too! The course is a 1/2 mile ocean swim, 12mi bike ride...

    Would you buy in Corona while waiting?

    I would rather eat shit sandwiches everyday for lunch than live in Corona and commute on the 91. Seriously though, rent a place near both of your jobs. You will have the opportunity to get to know the area, traffic, social environment, etc and make a better purchase decision when it comes...
