Find yourself again.

[Manuel Acosta]

You would think that pedaling people around on a bike would be fun. But after eight days it starts to feel more like a job. Go figure. 

Decided to remind myself why I enjoy biking s much, by going on a ride that didn't require three wheels. 

Great mileage today. Still can't find a direct route through Pleasanton Ridge from Palomares Rd without going through someones backyard. 

Stopped by Rivendell HQ to pick up a handful of things. 

Typical Rivendell day, people riding bikes, even the workers. 

Leave it to the wonderful folks at Rivendell to be the prime example of pedaling for fun. 

Pictures proved I forgot to put sunscreen.

Beautiful; I remember the Ca countryside and I wish we had more riding
like that around here.

So ... you pedal a pedicab? Job? Second job? Hobby?

It was lack of cash that made me sell my Ken Rogers, and though I
thoroughly enjoyed riding it, I must say that, after all is said and
done, riding a trike is not nearly as nice as riding a bike. I suppose
I am a dyed-in-the-wool two-wheeler.

Further along in that photo series there is P7020570: my GAWD! Does
someone really ride that thing as shown?? P7020572 seems much more
reasonable.

You make nice art with your new camera, Manny.  

Thanks for the photos and the adventure :)

[Tony Lockhart]

I definitely agree with Amit, great job with the photos Manny. I haven't been to Riv HQ yet, but seeing these photos gives me a great idea what the place looks like. Boy, I wish we had trails like that in Los Angeles.

Great Photos.

Where did you get that t-shirt "I Biked Today" ? I want one

[Manuel Acosta]

Dusty,

The shirt is from Rickshaw Bagworks. I don't know if they sell it on their website anymore. But call they might have more.

Also another cool thing. Didn't know if I should have posted this up on forum but since Grant posted already a huge welcome to new bike packer/saturday guy, Sean! A good buddy of mine, who I have had the pleasure of riding with. Same Sean that broke his spoke on the dirt ride down from Pantol, the same Sean who rides a double top tube, green Sam, the aame Sean who is famously known as the Canadian Spaniard (His future wrestler name). I'm lucky enough he's able to deal with riding with me and more that happy that he's working at Rivendell. 

Funny thing about how I found out. I tried tricking him (because thats the only way I can convince people to ride with me) into riding me up South Gate that day when he told me he couldn't because he was starting his new job that day. He asked me to guess where and jokingly replied, "At Rivendell!" He said Hey your right! Ha there's some snaps shots of his first day in the previous set.

Here some pictures of Sean. So you know... he exist.
