Cycling 101 and 80's rock

Steel Panther. Thats the name of the 80's tribute band we went and saw on Monday night. They also do a few of there own songs that are really more like comedy rock with the sound of 80's metal. Either way the show was funny, over the top, a little bit vulgar and delightfully refreshing.

I've had a chance to go two bicycle rides in the area and they have been awesome as well. Yesterday heading into the Santa Monica Mountains was like leaving a small European town and riding off into the Alps. The fog was laying on the parts of the mountain sides like a blanket with the jagged edges still poking out. The canyon roads here are to an east coast kid a dream come true. They just cut through the mountain and balance themselves between each side of a cliff. Way better than just about anything I've ever ridden (don't worry, the roads in Flanders are still more magical) but nothing tops that feeling of hitting switchback after switchback.
