LA Car Show

Went to the LA car show this weekend after a nice ride on Saturday.  I woke up at 4:44 because my legs were aching and I was still excited from yesterday's endorphine high.  We started the day by going to our favorite breakfast dive - The ShoreHouse Cafe - on 2nd street in Belmont Shore.

Our friend, Shu, joined us for a fantastically sinful breakfast.  Needless to say, after eating here, there's no need to eat for about a day or two.

Corona del Mar Ride

Woke up at 6:15 on Saturday morning and hit the road by 7:20. It was overcast and 47 degrees, so I used my new Catstelli Cardio Bib Tights layered with fleece.  They were very comfortable and I didn't overheat on the road.  Met up with the crew, Enrique, Alfonzo, & Henry at PCH & Marina Dr. in Long Beach.  But less than one mile out Enique's bike chain acted up and forced him to head back to his car.  Even though the day was overcast, we still were able to take some great pictures.

An Italian photographer, Sabrina, took this pic for us.  Go here to see her work.

Free Cycling Log

Just tried out the free Internet Training Log - really cool.  User friendly, analyzes and graphs your progress, and did I mention, it's free. Link can be found on right under Cycling Links.

Lakewood to Corona del Mar State Beach Ride!

Left my house at 7:36 and reached Corona del Mar state beach (30 mi) a little bit before 10.  The ride back was windy and I got my first flat on the road.  Took me about 15 min to fix and then I was back on my Pinarello.  Reached home by 12 and finished 57.5 miles.
