I was OFF d-d-distracted in California riding my bike for few days....

Found Super Buff Singletrack in Chesbro Canyon

....super buff to awesome crazy ninja trails....ha tight like tiger

Distraction by the cave! And this WTF creepy Frog? with spikes and tail.

Got little distracted on the Little Pine Mountain.

"When you get to the top, you'll see the Little Pines"--that is a direct quote from Eric the "gardener"....and he was right. Also check the Little Pine DH...its WORTH THE CLIMB via these "not so Brain Lopes riders" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBK79mppY6g&feature=related

"yah, the flowers are nice on little pine" --"gardener" quoted again!

Had some time to work on my new improved downhill MTB ninja skills and keeping up to this thing....It is not native to the area but can be found in Romaro Canyon. It is friendly and likes The Wild Betty's.
...my coach didn't make me cry this time so that's good, but this did;

the aparently highly venomous "baby" Rattle Snake of Romaro Canyon.The post snake encounter required an intervention, my friends let me ride in the Aude Christie Sophie bike ride sandwich, me in the middle :)
Muchas Gracias Chicas.

The Sophia (the snake), Christie, Aude Sandwich--tis good.

And distracted by Zuma Beach and Ojai Hot Springs

My race plan is to ninja my way though some races this season, looking forward to some of my upcoming big 7 day stage races BC Bike Race. And the Tour Grischa (http://www.tour-grischa.com/Home.7451.0.html?&L=4) Rules? those UCI people taking a wrecking ball to all the fun, crawling out of the bat cave and make rules like...time penalties for not reaching the finish line on time...hey guess what welcome to canton of Graubunden your slow, here is another 60 minutes to your slow time
...maybe that why the swiss are fast ;)

...better work on being on time. gotta go.
