Hiking around Back Bay, Orange County, CA

Since I have this broke neck, all I can do is walk. I had that nasty cold that was going around, but it stuck with me for like 5-weeks! Finally got rid of it and finally feel human again and needed to get out of the house. So out the door I went with Kona dog in tow and camera in pocket. Left the house around 2:15 and returned around 7:30. Long hike but not at a fast pace, just cruzed. My dawg's [feet] did get tired, but it was worth it. I have yet to map out how many miles it is around the Back Bay and have ridden it for years on the bikes!!! I have no idea how far it is and a Garmin 60CSx sitting right there that could give me all the details! Guess that calls for another hiking session. In the mean time, check out my little photo-essay of what I saw on my BB-Hike.

Finally, I bike I know I can peddle for some hours! OK, a few minutes there and a few here and whenever I can jump on it. Hit DirectTV-857 [XM Chill] or 812 [FuelTV] and peddle. Peep the Charles Eames Lounge Chair. OK, it's a knock-off made by Plycraft who is no longer in business. Either way, the Eames are the one's who develop molded plywood who essentiallymodern skateboard manufacturing.

Before I mounted the GT Zaskar up, I had to get a new back tire, one with no knobbies. So off to the local bike shop and I pick up a Michelin XC Road tire. Come home, mount it and knock out some peddling!

I hope to mount up a REDLINE 925 as my next project bike!!!

Since my accident I have been relegated to minimal means of exercise!!! Aside from walking the dog i'm now riding FIXED.....
HAHAHA GOTCHA!!! I'm riding in a fixed location!!!! Not fixed gear yet, but anything to keep the legs moving and the heart rate up!!! Recovery sucks! Scroll down on my GT Zaskar page on velospace.org and peep the fix gear bikes i'm looking at.

So, I gave this Bianchi Premio to Anthony, but when I brought this roller home, he wanted to mount up his bike. I rode it for like three days, 1st day:30min, 2nd day: 45min, and the 3rd day for a 1hr-30min session. OK, had enough, this bike is too small for me!!! PLUS - I blew up the freewheel cog. It's old, no grease and just fell apart!! You can see the cog laying on the ground...

THANK YOU www.ANDYH.com for the roller!!!

I will be mounting up my GT Zaskar next!!
