In article , Bill Baka writes: I think if I ever ride a bike down there again it will be along the beaches from OC to North of LA, August at noon, and not at full speed. There is just too much 'Eye candy' to pass up. Wake up Bill, this is a bike thread. On the bright side you don't need a helmet to crash into the sand. You may make that ride but it won't be along the beach. A few things like the Long Beach Harbor, 4 or more huge marinas, the mouth of the San Gabrial River, at least 2 major creeks, LAX, and on and on. The November Outside Magazine talked about a South Bay beach ride. I'm not familiar with this but will check into it. Years ago you could ride from Playa del Rey to Venice but they took out the Balona creek bridge and stuck a huge Marina del Rey plus hotels and other developments there. I haven't been there for something like 20 years, when I did some business with a company at the marina, and it was crowded then. I already got off track with the Queen Mary and what not along the way, but I would have thought you could still make about 50% of the ride along varoius beaches. -- Bill (?) Baka |

I understand that not everyone agrees with his politics but WTF? The guy rides a bike and he rides the ****ing thing hard according to all reports. He used to run a lot - not the mandatory presidential jog, but run - so it seems reasonable. He's got a trail on the property he cleared, I recall reading about him doing typically 18 mile rides. As for whether or not this fits whatever image you have of the guy, I can't imagine why your contempt rules out athletic ability and activity. Unless this is another one of those "he's an evil genius, except he's a retard" things. Ron |

Ron OK, be outraged that I pick on the """President, ta da.""", but if it is his own personal trail he should have it memorized by now, and not be falling off. Image/politics/riding are all 3 different but I just could NOT resist taking a shot. As I have said before I hope he doesn't kill himself with Cheney next in line, although I would not mind seeing or even riding his trail. It's all biking to me. Part of the MTB fun for me is getting a lost as possible on a new back woods trail. Not that I ever actually get lost, but it is fun exploring. For Bush, I don't think he could since there would be bodyguards all over the place, and that would just take out the fun factor. May all Bush's riding be smooth, err, umm, smoother. -- Bill (?)
