I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, CA, home of the original "valley girl." We are known for Mulholland Drive, movie stars, and cruisin' on Van Nuys Blvd. Charles Manson lived where I "mountain biked" as a kid (he was in jail by then). Both Kevin Spacey and Val Kilmer went to my highschool, but a few years before me. Like, totally fer shure.

I now live just over the hill in Simi Valley, Ventura County, CA. Home of the Lone Ranger, Little House on the Prairie, Star Trek, and many other film sites. Currently overcoming its bad rap for aquitting the police officers who beat Rodney King which sparked the Los Angeles riots in '92. Ronald Reagan Presidential Museum is here too, you may have seen it when he was buried here.

As I get stronger I look forward to longer rides north into Camarillo, Santa Paula, Ojai. I hope someday to ride home from Monterey.
