The art of dodging tourists

Training this week was a bit spotty with the crazy hours at work, but I was able to take a nice ride down through the south bay today. It was an absolute beautiful day, which is great...unless you wait till after lunch to go riding. All the people of LA flock to the beaches which make for a very crowded bike path. Also, the roads get congested with stupid people trying to find places to park. But that all aside, it was a pretty enjoyable ride.


I bought some compression guards for my calves. They are suppose to keep your muscles in place and help prevent strain. I get really bad cramps in my calves, so I'm hoping these will help. Its quite the fashion statement as well.

I still have a couple more weeks of long hours at work and plan to fit my training in the best I can. The real training begins in February. Its gonna be exciting! We have our first get together pot luck dinner this Thursday for the Socal Collective. Should be fun!
