These pictures were taken on my way back from the YNC Cycling Malibu Ride. I took some shots in Beverly Hills, L.A. County Museum of Art, La Brea Tar Pits, Museum Square, and Downtown L.A.

I've biked over 6,000 miles this year. I put over 12,000 miles on my bike since 2006. I put about 1,200 miles on it in 2006. In 2007: 2,000 miles. In 2008, 4,000 miles. I'd like to put 8,000 miles in 2010, but we'll see how busy I get next year. It was tough putting 6,000 miles on my bike this year since I worked so much.

Griffith Park xmas lights

I went to the Griffith Park xmas lights on opening night on December 3. The roads were closed to cars. It was supposed to be open to bikes only, but there were a lot of pedestrians walking around as well.

I think it's a very romantic place to ride with your significant other. It's much better than being stuck in traffic in your cars driving around there. You can really see the lights in much better detail and enjoy the fresh air along with many other people.

Last time I was there was a nightmare. It was bumper to bumper traffic the entire time. I was driving a stick shift Mustang too. After awhile, my leg started to get very sore.

While I started to ride back home, Phil Lee saw me. He must have good eyes, because it was pretty dark. He caught up to me and then we chatted for a few minutes.

Santa Monica Turkey Trot

The Saturday after Thanksgiving I went to run the Santa Monica Wobble Gobble 5K Turkey Trot.

I ran pretty fast in the beginning, but after I hit the first mile marker, I started feeling really bad. I ate too much food right before the race. The race started late so I just kept on eating more snacks and drinks until it started. That was a really bad idea. My insides felt like they were about to explode while I was running. I started feeling sick. I had to slow down a lot. All those people I passed in the beginning started passing me back. Even old grandmas and little kids started passing me. Those were fast little kids!

I was able to still finish in 26 minutes. I wanted to finish in 24 minutes. Oh well, there's another race coming up soon. I was going to do a 10K, but I have way too many things to do. Even Saturdays are busy because I help Sarah at the pharmacy.

A few pictures from a local classic car show. I took a lot of pictures. I might post some more up if the demand is there. My favorite cars are the Shelby Cobras. Many of them are worth well over $1 million dollars. The most expense car ever sold was a 1966 Shelby Cobra that auctioned for $5.5 million dollars.
