Hey Acpme, I think if you can go 'balls to the walls' on the cycling machines at the gym, you should be fine on all the outdoor rides. :) The biggest difference between outdoor & indoor riding is the 'balancing'. You are pretty much stationary when you are riding in the gym, where is...

Yesterday was the Rosarito to Ensenada bike ride (www.rosaritoensenada.com). Anyhow, here is the summary for the day. Hope you enjoy it. The event is a blast. Rosarito to Ensenada is a tour, not a race, and there were more people taking it easy, riding at a casual pace, and drinking (yes...

Sorry prof, was waiting for peter to comment. I don't think the snake was alive. No chance in hell can it surve Peter's bike. :)

--I distinctly remember offering all cyclists sunblock before the ride, only to be met with cavalier shrugs. Yes, I got burnt pretty good on my shoulders. Guess I missed some spots. :P

IR & LM: As we sit here and contemplate when the bottom would be and how dangerous ARM loans are, home builders are still sending out emails to attract potential buyers to come in and spend very little money on their home purchases. This came in this morning from John Laing: You...

I think there may be a few more Village lurkers on here. Anyways, PM me if you guys want to meet up. :)

Re: Parking You have assigned parking in the garage. I don't recommend parking overnight on the street. The towing companies are out pretty regularly for flagrant offenders. Be careful! :) Re: Service I don't think the service level has dropped much. You are paying a premium to live in...
