i didn't make the beach ride in Venice, but i took Happy with me to Newport Beach on the 4th. this place was a madhouse. i had my video camera hooked up to my backpack for a "shoulder cam," but for some reason, most of the videos came out corrupted, so all i got is a short one where we go to get beer. and it's mostly a video of my mirror.
they had streets shut down all over and the crowds were insane, so i went up Superior hill, which is steeper than a 6% grade. i don't know how steep exactly, but i got a ticket riding my skateboard down it in the 80's, for "skateboarding down a hill steeper than 6% grade."
anyway, you can hear the bike struggle a bit, not much, at first, then it starts to take off with no problem about halfway up.
so, i'm gonna ship Happy back to Joe sometime this week. he's had enough of the roomate's cat.
