Oh.

Laguna Beach is a big LGBT community south of here. Not in terms of numbers....SF has that...but per capita, (20%-ish)

It's a bizarre little town....VERY arts oriented (which kinda figures)...anything 'cultural'.

It's also the home of some of the most extreme MTB riders out there...the 'Laguna Beach Rads'....which is shorthand for a bunch of pot-smoking nutcases. The trails they ride are fairly insane, to say the least.

The Blue Wiggle is the only original member, Wake Up Jeff had a heart attack and the other two just retired.

This thread needs a bit of balance, one of the reasons TO visit Aussie, the Oxley Highway. This is only a small section of it. Rode it once on the Daytona but it pissed down the whole way (900 km day) and had a big tankslap when getting to cocky in the wet.

I'm the most unlucky guy in the country at the moment," he told the BBC.

"I was sitting on the toilet doing my business and just felt the sting that I felt the first time.



"I was like 'I can't believe it's happened again.' I looked down and I've seen a few little legs come from around the rim."

That was a bit bizarre! But it's not uncommon for a roo to kill a dog in that manner.

Something I just realised is if you take the number 4 out of 24753 you get my first postcode in Australia (lol) I've moved up in the world now and am in 2758 (lol)
