I stopped in to give Mom hugs and hang-out for a bit before heading back home.
Another great ride along the OC Beaches.
 
Dude, you are going to ride the wheels off of that bike.

I have worn out the bottom bracket on this bike before.
I really don't do well with maintenance.
Damn! Five tacos! Thanks for the pics.hopefully im there next month.
I had a hard time finishing that pile.
I think the cook recognizes me and is "Hookin' me up".:cool:

It’s hard to imagine @tripple3 riding all the way there and back each month.
That guy gets the perpetual who rode the farthest award.
Anybody is welcome to ride with me. I miss @Hippie Mike
Most often lately it is Jim @Jimmy V , comes out from Michigan to Enjoy the Ride.

@tripple3 Your constant motion on two wheels is inspiring. :)
Thank you. I hope to inspire others.
The more I ride, the more I love it.
I move along; but often I'm weaving back and forth, carving like a long-boarder, honkin' my horn and smiling at everybody I see.
I got the call to work tomorrow, so I will ride my bike to the shop shining "Light for All".
Looking forward to my ride home after work.:D

I miss riding Huntington / Sunset Beaches. I lived right off of Goldenwest and PCH for a lot of years after high school, my old Huffy Good Vibrations logged many miles in that stretch.

First time I ever saw someone get a DUI on a bike was on the north side of the pier. :)

This is how it looked, well in much better shape when I came out to Texas. Then I had my accident and couldn't ride for about 8 years and it went to hell.

Rode 17 miles on the Three Notch right before the big rains hit

This is a trail sign picture showing one of the " locomotives" used on the line. A truck with a flat car built around it.
It would be a unique kitbash project in HO scale.

After selling one this weekend, I had to pick out the next one I'm going to try and move out. I selected the one that least fit my current needs and interests. I waxed the paint, and performed a spring time lube / tune up. Once that was done I gave it one last night spin to make sure everything was going to be good for whoever is going to be its next owner.

A 90s era Pepsi Point Bike.

I also checked the bike registry. Thats something I always do now before both purchasing and listing. Last year after a buyer and I agreed to a sale, the buyer pulled out a badge. Luckily everything checked out, but before that happened I was not as carefull in validation before a purchase and also a listing.

The best thing to do is is check it before you buy it. I never once found one yet that I was intersted in that was also listed as stolen. But when you find bikes at flea markets craigslist, and garrage sales like I do. Its definately something you should always check, as you may not have a receipt to prove your innocence if you find yourself in a similar situation I encountered.

I'm hoping to make it back to Rhode Island to finish the East Bay Trail from Warren to Providence this fall ( early October ). My brother-in- law, Bill started late in the afternoon from Warrren, riding to Bristol.Then we stopped to have some refreshments at the Beach House. When we hit the trail , daylight was almost done. We had to catch the Block Island ferry in the morning.

Would like to do the Eastern trail in Maine as well.
