California with Nealy 2009



In order to escape the last bit of February coldness, I hopped a plane for Southern California, to visit my friend Sean and his family, and do some riding in a warm climate. I was not disappointed. Though I was under military surveillance some of the time (the picture with the helicopter), I was able to find my way to some nice climbs along the pacific ocean (top pic).

I like Southern California. Probably one of my top choices in terms of North American living options. There's a bit of traffic, but when you're on the sailboat, looking at the coastline and snow-covered mountains, you quickly forget all about it. For exoticism, you have Mexico nearby, which is great for those needing to brush up on their Spanish. I hope to get back there soon.
