This is what our weekend looked like...
First, we rode to Pasadena on Saturday to taste some IPAs at Lucky Baldwins...

Things we learned:
LA isn't really THAT big...There is something about going on freeways that skews your sense of distance. We were actually surprised to learn that we could ride our bikes to Pasadena! It just seemed such a far away place before. Granted, it took us all morning, but we learned that it was entirely possible!
Then on Sunday we rode out to the city of Orange....which while a good distance seemed like riding around the block after Pasadena.

Things we learned:
Garden Grove is one big F'n city. It seemed to go on forever. Lampson is an awesome street to get to parts of northern Orange County. We can ride out bikes to Angels Stadium if we were so inclined and if baseball wasn't so friggin boring.
Bikes weren't the only things ridden on the path...
We passed a park where people fly these pretty big model airplanes...
The San Gabriel river trail is long.....
Nothing like a cappuccino from Aroma di Roma (best caps. in Long Beach) to end a day of riding.

Next week let's bike to HB! Surf's up!
What's it like doing long rides on a bike with an extended front? Is it better than one with an extended back?
Dustin...it's different...I prefer the load in the front because 1) I can watch it...I've lost some stuff off my xtracycle before 2) the weight is always centered 3)regular length chain instead of a longer chain...i've found that my Bilenky shifts a little better and I don't get as much chain slap with the long chain for the Xtra
