Like it or not, I did manage to make my music video. It's easier to motivate oneself to gather the footage if you have a concept ahead of time. For me, 'concept' means a song. The song is my own bootleg recording of "Kopi Luwak", played by the El Cerrito High School Jazz Ensemble. My son

Bravo Bill! I felt tired from merely reading your account! Reminiscing about my college days when we tackled some of the 'Tam trails on La Ruta Loca 200k weekly (no rangers with radar back then), I can only imagine what an epic ride must have been! And yes, of course it's a downhill century
