Josephine bustin' out her frogger skills


After a while, I decided to take off my shoes and start climbing barefoot b/c my mountain biking shoes are really stiff and its hard to climb in. OJ has some good action shots of me leaping like a baby chimpanzee.
Every team building experience has to have the "Leap of Faith."
I love how everyone's doing the bear claw except Erwin... HAHA
You can do it RHODA!

Hello FRIENDS!

On behalf of the Wildboyz Cycling Division (WCD), I would like to invite you to join us this Saturday, April 7th for the Friends Forever Fun (FFF) package.

DAY:
Our day begins bright and early at 9:00AM at Canyonside Community Park . Our expedition will take us 4-5 miles down the Penasquitos Creek... Everyone is required to bring their mountain bike and a packed lunch.

Los Peñasquitos (meaning little cliffs) Canyon Preserve lies between Rancho Peñasquitos and Sorrento Hills to the north and Mira Mesa to the south. Stretching approximately seven miles from the I-5 and 805 merge to just east of I-15; it encompasses some 4,000 acres of both Peñasquitos and Lopez Canyons. The Preserve is jointly owned and administered by the City and County of San Diego.

The scenery of the canyon includes:
* A waterfall cascading through volcanic rock
* A streamside forest of giant California live oaks.
* Groves of majestic sycamore trees.
* A year-round stream populated by pacific tree frogs, crayfish and largemouth bass.
* A fresh water marsh hosting a variety of aquatic birds including great blue herons, egrets, mallard ducks and more.
* Mule deer, bobcat, coyote, and raccoon are just a few of the mammals than can be observed throughout the Preserve.

Almost there...
We made it! 7+ miles and 45mins later we made it to Starbucks Carmel Valley where Leo & Vinh work...
Hey Brah...Lunch time at Pat & Oscars w/ Mr. Andy Keele... Thanks for the hook up buddy! We ordered $90 worth of food: Bread Sticks, Salad, Pizza, Chicken, Ribs, etc... All 50% off!
Obviously JR is full!
After lunch we drove Erwin & JR's trucks, which we left there before our journey, to Del Mar beach for Part II of our biking trip.

Always look both ways before crossing the street...

Highway 101

Solana Beach
Now its time to ride back...

Del Mar Beach
We even got to watch a wedding take place... It was beautiful!
So on our way home we stopped by Black Mountain Bicycles b/c there's a huge super sale going on all weekend... Guess what? I ended up buying another new bike... A hardtail Trek 6500 SLR w/ 27 speeds. It was originally priced at $770 but it was on sale for only $600 b/c it was an '06 model. The main differences between the '06 & '07 is that the '07 comes w/ disc brakes and clipless pedals... But it cost $925. Check out all the features at Trek Bikes.
This is my 3rd bike in less than a week but I promise you its my last one... For a while! HAHA I love it though... Seriously! It has an extremely light frame (approximately 3.8 pounds) and its components are all the best at its price range.

Since I bought myself a Trek... I didn't want Myster to be all alone as the only remaining member of Team Mongoose so I got her one too...
A hardtail Womans Specific Design (WSD) Trek 4300 SL w/ 21 speeds... It's MSRP was $390 but it was also on sale for $350. I didn't expect to spend that much on her bike but once I saw it... I couldn't resist! The people at Black Mountain Bicycles also threw in a little stealth black bell too! So without further ado I am proud to present you w/ the newest members of Team Trek... MYSTERS!
NEXT SATURDAY (04.07.07): We're going biking again... This time we're gonna bike the Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve. Its tons of fun and a great workout so get your mountain bikes and join us...
P.S. I still haven't really studied for my GMAT test yet... FUCK!
