After 1 Month off/Gina 2 Months

I'd have to say that is probably the longest I have ever  gone without riding in the last 20 years. Felt good to take time off but then it didn't feel good getting back out there ha ha! Legs felt OK, breathing a little harder, but the BELLY! :-O

Oh well, time to gt back into shape, been too long! Gina did pretty well for taking 2 months off. 31 miles at a 15.5 average on a pretty breezy day. Darn headwind felt like it was both ways, I hate them days, no reward for working against the headwind to the beach.

I read the articles about the city giving the homeless 3 weeks to get out. thank goodness! Seems there will be a detour for a few weeks as they fix up the area but hey, I'm down ith it if it means getting the trail back to where it was. I hope it works!

But down in the Fountain Valley area, I could see a few homeless here and there looking as if they are scoping a place for camp. I sure hope they chase those scumbags out right now and don't wait again or all these efforts are pointless.

Having been off the trail for a month, I thought it looked even worse today,. Many more tents in the Honda Center area. But didn't see anybody feeding them there today. Those are the morons they need to stop! A few volunteers near the Rampart area. Hard to see that they have no consideration for the people who live in the condos and continue to attract thugs and scum to the area.

Anyway, I did see several cops that seemed to be raiding the camps. Every time we went by today, 3 times, there were cops stopping someone, or citing them, not sure! But they were there doing something!

                                                                   Did see Alex zoom by!








One of those poor down on their luck Vietnam Vets I guess. Bullshit! Another low life scum bag thug with another bike frame he probably just stole from a hard working citizen, looking to see it for drug money scumbag! ;-)


Looked worse today than last time I rode a month ago. But I did see a few spaces with scum packing their bags! Yes, Leave!

Little More Photography over the Last Week

Having a little more fun with the camera. My granddaughters (16 & 11) love to pose. Might sound strange after you have heard me play my guitar and sing but both of these gals are really really really good singers. Both in drama clubs as well. Trinity the 16 year old is in high school drama as a junior and Franki the 11 year old is in some drama class through an acting school or something like that.

So I took their pics and sent them about 50 shots, they were happy. Then I used Gina as a model again for a few more. :-P

Then I got a call from a pro photographer friend of ours. Tipped me off on a car show going on at a local park. I myself not much into low riders, not really even into car shows. I love an old hopped up Camaro or Malibu with fat tires, hot rod style myself but even then, at Route 66 events, I can look at about 5 cars before I lose interest.

But once I took a few pics of the cars and saw the final results, I was impressed. I'm thinking the cars come out prettier than the people ha ha!

I did try to get Gina to put on a biking for the car show pics but she wouldn't. OK not really, but if I had a nice car, I would! :-P
