Down at the coast there is, just gotta do it. My biggest issue is that I burn the candle at both ends. Schedule has no holes in it. I stay too busy.

My slogan: " It aint never nothing "

Yes I know what You mean.
when I lived in Oakland I would go str8 up in the hills n ride all day!
You have some of the best country rides going!

Oakland? haha I hear it's the "armpit of America" ! I think I heard Sir Charles Barkley mentioned that during an interview when he used to play..

Hills are ok. As long as you're not riding in the hood. Pretty rough!

Thanks JD. I used to be a photographer. Well, still a photographer, just not looking for work doing it currently. Cushy desk job at the moment. I'll link my website when Im done rebuilding it.

LOL Maybe Oakland it's self not so nice.
But there was then some great country roads to ride.

Thanks man! Yup silver leaf in the mix. He lays some sick paintwork. I was nervous for a while. Paint can make or brake the build.
