Irving,

I figured that's where you were coming from. I think it's okay to share
personal thoughts on a blog it just depends if your okay with that being a
focus within the context of your blog. Some of my favorite blogs share off
bicycling topics. In the end go with what feels right.

Thanks for the comments Hugh. I kind of had a frazzled week before the ride 
so I knew my ride report was already going to be a stretch to comprehend. In 
my draft post, I began to elaborate on my inner conflicts about living in 
the city but it just made the post longer and NOT about bike riding. In 
short, I get bummed about living in such an expensive city, I miss my 
friends and family in LA (back to BLADE RUNNER, haha) and I have my own 
doubts about where I'll be career and life wise years from now... but then 
on a ride like this past weekend's, when I meet a bunch of new people who 
share the same appreciation of rad bike rides, I can't help but think it's 
all worth it.

Manny,

Thanks for sharing this ride report...the images are super and it makes me 
yearn for the years I lived in San Francisco sort of. Though I enjoyed 
living there I feel on some level I didn't maximize my time there. I don't 
think I'd live in the "City" again, preferring Marin if money wasn't an 
object or maybe the East Bay.  His Prologue was a bit confusing...I get the 
'Blade Runner" reference and the rain...even though  the movie is set in of 
all places Los Angeles. But Irving doesn't elaborate exactly what his 
internal conflict is? When I lived there the "City" seemed to offer all 
inclusion but I feel that is now an illusion. Reality is that it's one of 
the most expensive cities to live in probably just behind NYC. I could go 
on about inequality but nuff said on that subject.

On a positive note I love the blog Irving does a great job with it. I plan 
on following it now more regularly.

~Hugh

Thanks for posting this Manny! We had a great time but were definitely 
missing you on the ride. I'd like to think Nathan borrowed his puddle move 
from you during the ride.

Stay tuned for upcoming dates for the #fauxvet 2.0 and 3.0!
