Uhhhhhh, reality check here. Born in Washington D.C. in '44. Lived in Chicago. Grew up in Sunny SoCal. Why do you think I live in South Pasadena, California where I can and do ride my bikes year round???

Ya wanna break Joe? Come out west and be our guest. Matt will even provide the Masi!!! And we can all hoist a brewski at the end of a ride along the beach.

Brian didn't have the heart to mention the worst part of the ride yesterday along the beach. That would be the complete absence of Beach Babes because of the rain.
