I thought I’d throw a few pics up here that I took with my phone while we were in California.  The best camera is the one you have with you.  I found that I was extremely rusty when it came to operating my bigbad camera so I’m not particularly happy with many of the shots I took.  They’ll be up on the main site tomorrow though.  Click through for the cellie pics.

Starting a diet before you go on vacation is a bad idea.  So I said F-it.  Didn’u enter in any of my food data while we were away and I’m happy to say I didn’t gain anything despite helping myself to generous portions of meats and fishes and seafoods.  I think it helped that simply standing around at a tasting counter is a lot more activity than I get on a normal day at work.  Toss a vigorous 40 mile bike ride into the mix and I think everything will be alright.  I now consider myself ready for the Prouty having maintained for nearly the same distance in the bright, hot, arid and windy conditions of Sonoma County.

I’d like to regale everyone with everything that happened but work has gone and piled up.  I will say that we had a wonderful time and I highly recommend checking out Bicycle Dreams.  We watched it while we were there because our hosts Rhonda and Rich had just returned from crewing a guy on his RAAM attempt.  Intense stuff.  RadioLab featured the race in an episode they did on Limits.  Also good.
