Morro Bay Bike Ride

So, we arrived in Paso Robles yesterday and visited the Convention Center. It is funny that I actually DJ'd a business Christmas Party here over 6 years ago! HA! So, the event looks like a blast! Great people, fun times and BIKES!!!

Today starts The Great Western Bike Rally. 3 Days of BIKES, BIKES, BIKES in a BEAUTIFUL California town of Paso Robles. We stopped for a bite yesterday @ BIG BUBBA'S BAD BBQ. I had this years ago when it first opened and they are still rocking! BBQ Chicken Nachos and TRI-TIP! Yep that's right, when in Cali, eat the bad meat! :)

After driving over to Morro Bay to the hotel Kate and I decided to hit the road...WITH OUR BIKES!!!!!!! We cruised to Morro Rock and checked it out, then up and down Main Street to check out all the local stuff, FUN TIMES!!!! There was a hill that even with switch backs I made it 3/4 the way up the hill!!! On a fixie of course! Kate as expected made it to the top, but she did use gears! :) So today there are NO hotel rooms available for about 30 miles from the event due to the holiday weekend. So, we are going to find a new place to crash and then head to the bike rally tonight!!!!!!

Shipping my Bike

COME BACK TO ME S.O.W.!!!!!!!!!!!

So, for those of you who don't know my new addiction is fixed gear riding in my city of Austin, TX! There is just something about a continuous cadence and pedaling EVERY pedal of your ride. The true exhaustion after riding non-stop for an entire day. And when you lean into a turn, well let's just say, "Heaven on Wheels!".

I wake up with my hand in drop position and ready to ride about 5 days a week. It is pretty fun to wake up and . on my bike, take two turns and BAM I'M ON SOCO in Austin, TX. Not much more than my nephews smiles make me as happy as riding north on South Congress and stare at the Capitol Building the entire ride in after Live Oak. So, I will be traveling the entire month so I made SURE to ship my S.O.W. (Sex on Wheels) that's my baby's name, btw. I just finished placing all of my new TEAM Spokiz bike decals! Thanks littlejef for all of your time and help! It looks great! Want Spokiz bike decals for yourself? Email brian@teamspokiz.com for at cost decals to help support the Sunglass REVOLUTION!!!

So, I will be pedaling my Fixie from Coast to Almost Coast (Cali to Philly) and making sure to hit up local groups all around the nation! The reason for my addiction is the people I have met while biking in Austin and all over! The biking community is so accepting and helpful when needing to get around town or get anything in town.

When you see someone on their bike, using their OWN POWER to get them from A to B just says something. When you see them dripping sweat on a 100 degree day you REALLY know they are DOWN and RIDE WITH THEM! All us bikers whether spandex, straight legged jeans, cut offs and all the gear in between....

If you see someone riding their bike JOIN THEM! Stop and have a sip together somewhere! Learn something about them and I bet 50% of the time you will have friends in common that you didn't even realize!!!!!!!!!!

Peace and Love and Missing my Fixie!!!
