Last week I was in Cali for work, PJ was kind enough to let me crash at his place and then show me some of his great local rides. Here's a few pictures. BTW PJ was working. (User feedback and Camera Field Testing)

Somehow this post snuck past me, yesterday. I had a good time, Brian I hope you di, too. And I hope you don't have as much poison oak as I do. It's everywere. Too hot and too much sweat to distribute it. I HATE IT!

Ahhh, the horrible irony of our discussion about Ben Hall.

I'll post some of my photos, later today.

That jump demo photo rules! I never thought of shooting from that direction. I like the beach background a lot.

Brian, in Santa Cruz.

All of my photos were taken with a 5 megapixel, HP 945, that HP loaned me to test. It's not the most inspiring camera. But so far I'm finding that the quality of the photos is almost always better than I expected.

Ghostly Brian is riding in the redwoods, in Santa Cruz. Tiny Brian is riding on the cliffs above Devil's Slide and Pacifica.

Not San Francisco, exactly, but just a few miles away. Pacifica is just down the coast from the City. The weather this winter and spring has been perfect for stuff that grows. The flowers are nuts. Unfortunately, so is the poison oak. But Brian got very close to a perfect day, on Sunday. The first photo is looking north, over Pacifica, to the City. The second is a close-up of one of the wildflowers and another creature that was out enjoying the flowers and weather.
