Sharing & Caring

There are about 9 other things I should really be focused on, but hey, it's Friday. It's time to wind down and relax before SDBC's Saturday club ride tomorrow. We're going to have a film crew there tomorrow to help Spinergy (and me) pull together 30-second PSA that will apparently find its way into up to a hundred time slots on Cox Cable between now and the Barrio Logan Grand Prix "BLGP" on April 27th. 

Q: So where does the "sharing & caring" title come from?
A: My intentions here.
I want to share 2 nice resources for cyclists and bike racing fans that came up today.

1. This video from Park Tool is the best, most comprehensive video I've ever seen on how to change a tire/tube on a bike. Even if you think you know it all, there's a pretty good chance you'll pick up a new little trick from these guys.
2. This professional bike race schedule on VeloNews.com was shared by a friend today. It has a great, comprehensive list of pro bike races this year and how to view them if you live in the USA. 

As long as you're here, I'll share one more thing. This highlights one of the benefits of riding outdoors. We get to see a lot of stuff that we'd never normally see if we stuck to walking and driving. The photo below is of an insanely amazing house being built on the bluffs above the ocean in the northern part of La Jolla. This is not a photo that shows off the house, but shows how it's perched above the Pacific Ocean. I took this picture on February 28th of this year, with construction underway, as it has been for several years now. The sides are almost all glass...massive, curved glass. It's located at 9030 La Jolla Shores Lane, just off of heavily-traveled La Jolla Shores Drive, which weaves through the campus of UCSD. Stop by and take a look. This is La Jolla's affordable housing at its best. It was listed for $10.5M in 2008, finally sold for $6.55M in 2009. The owners, the Stedmans from Texas, have plowed a pile of money into the construction ($15M+?) but it is a magnificent thing of beauty. I'm sure it's within your budget if they decide to sell. Check out this drone video of it under construction 3 years ago.
