Hey let's see a pic of your favorite ride!

It was a lovely morning for a ride and wonky hamstrings bedamned - I had to try a slow climb (against doctor's orders).

Crenshaw Boulevard is famous for the gang shootouts as it goes through South Central LA, but by the time it reaches the South Bay it is transformed altogether. It goes up the hill of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and ends at the top, with a view overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

I took this shot with the marine layer still hanging on a bit to the water. Sometimes, when you see the cloudline is below you, you feel like you're sitting above the earth. The hillsides are mostly browned because of winter, but there are some excellent MTBing trails through it. Off in the distance to the left, the peak rising up through the mist is the top of Santa Catalina Island, which is itself a wonderful place to ride and home of a popular triathlon.

I think my hammys are toast, but sometimes its worth it
