moving to socal and learning to ride in those conditions was eye opening for me. also a ton of funI remember years ago riding outside San Diego with Heidi, Mr Heidi, and -BB-. I was not used to riding in the dry hot desert and didn't pack enough water. Halfway through the ride, -BB- handed me an extra ice cold Gatorade he had carried. Man, that saved me and it was great. Christ, that had to be 18-20 years ago. It's amazing how long some of us have been on here.
