Riding Tonight and Dean Trying to Kill People
It started great as our group of four met in the back-bay of Newport Beach, CA for a ride, on our cyclocross (cross) bikes. It was my buddies Dean (the best driver), Eric (the best surfboard shaper Christenson-EC), myself, and a new riding partner, Justin, who Dean wanted to introduce to our group (punish). We started and cruised through the hills of the University of California, Irvine (UCI) onto the roads in Turtle Rock and climbed up through a few secret dirt trails to Newport Coast on some average dirt grades, but when your on a cross bike they are painful.
The problem starts when Dean invited Justin to go ride and climb, what I call Hell Hill, our secret spot, and the guy has a single speed. When Eric and I saw the guy we just laughed because this is typical Dean (the punisher) behavior. He will start rides at a fast pace to see how long it takes before he can drop you, push it to the limits always, and make you climb insane $H%* to see if you will die. Well the good thing Justin was a sane and easy going guy because, as Eric would say, “He was lovin’ it like McDonalds!”
Fun ride, good weather, friends and being outside…
Buy a cross bike they can do it all!
