Welcome Curtis, I've got a Homer http://www.flickr.com/photos/pedalpusher61/8419648542/in/set-72157632622749622 and didn't get a bunch of sleep prior to it's arrival nor much afterwards. Your reaction is normal. You're in luck SoCal has many great places to ride and IMHO East county S.D. has a lot to offer. I particularily like rides through Ramona , Julian and the Laguna Mountains I'm actually planning on doing a S240 this Summer in the Laguna' with my Brother. I lived down there for about 15 years and most of my Family is down there.
There is a SoCal group that has been getting together for rides here is the Flickr link: http://www.flickr.com/groups/socal_rivendell_bicycle_appreciation_society/ Just jump in on the discussion when we plan a ride. If I had just one set of tires to buy in 650b then it's the Fatty Rumpkins: http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/t105-10086.htm unfortunately no one makes a knobby in 650b with a width between 38 to 42 mm. But I have taken them on hardcore single track and jeep trails. The Schwalbe's are a favorite for many as their pretty durable. Don't get me wrong the Fatty's are durable too but I need more data points to give a 100% reccomendation. http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/t001.htm I also run the Grand Bois Hetres http://www.compasscycle.com/tires_gb_650_42.html mostly on pavement and light dirt roads, though others say they use them on gravel roads. Now if your running a Homer with 700c hoops them others will make recommendations. Here's one last pic of my Homer http://www.flickr.com/photos/pedalpusher61/8752728520/in/set-72157633530268294 Again Welcome aboard! And post pics when you get your steed.
