went for a ride in ramona, ca today. jon rode to escendido(2 hours from beach cottages on a bike) and then i drove him up to ramona to start our beautiful ride. ramona is where the us postal service cycling team used to have their winter camps. the riding was really nice, and the weather was about 70 and hardly a cloud. i wore shorts w/o tights or legwarmers for the first time in about 8 months.

jon beginning the climb up to mesa grande.

one of the biggest bunch of cacti i have seen this side of the rio grande.

me and my buddies, the cows. the cows were free range so sometimes you would see them without a fence and it made for a very attentive decent. you don't want to hit one of those things on your bike.

these cows were running along side of us so i had to snap a pic. i've never seen cows in this good of shape and running this fast. they must be training for the san diego rock n roll marathon.

jon and i above a lake, i can't remember the name of it, but it was pretty.

Sheesh, So-Cal has the sun....it's still raining and snowing up here. I'm only a short 10 hour drive north of you! Enjoy the sun!
