Sorry for the long silence.  I was on the go go go for a week, but finally have a few spare minutes to have at it with the blog.  I had never spent longer than one day in the LA area, so it was fun to see the area in full force.

Here is a photo recap of things that caught my eye.

Cool shot from the airplane.

Hollywood Blvd.

Trafffic…. ughhhh, glad to be away from that. We spent a lot of time in the car.

Driving through downtown LA in the early evening.

Laguna Beach!

Afro??

BJ Penn’s UFC training ring at RVCA

I got a couple awesome items of clothing.

At RVCA (pronounced rue-ca)

Surfboard Beach Cruiser Rack…. creative!

Too many good sunset photos to pick just one.

I got to see Rebecca! She’ll be on your 5 person Co-ed team at 24 Hours of Old Pueblo in 2 weeks.

Stopped at Stone Brewery for lunch! One of my top 5 favorite breweries! This will get its own post.

I was off the bike for 6 days, which was a good break for my knee. It still feels a little weird (I got to ride yesterday), but it isn’t hurting and I am still taking care of it. The first race of the year is in 2 weeks. It’ll be more training for me since I just finished my base! It’s in Tucson (we went last year)… looking forward to riding singletrack!!
