Planning a Bike Ride
I hate Los Angles. I don't even know why. I think it is the urban sprawl. Yet I always have fun (sometimes way too much fun) when I go there, which is at least 2 times a year. This year was looking good until Microsoft announced that the Professional Develoeprs Conference or PDC will take place in LA. The PDC is not an annual event like TechEd or other shows, it just happens when it happens, or when new technology is around the corner, so it is special to attend. That said, I boycotted the last one in Fall 2001 since it was in LA and figured I'd do the same this year. But I had way too much fun with and learned too much from my fellow Microsoft Regional Directors in Dallas that I have to attend in LA.
So what does have to do with planning a bike ride you may ask? Well my good friend and fellow RD Ken Getz wants to ride bikes across the country next year. So Tom Howe had an idea to ride from Los Angles to San Diego after the PDC. What a great training and motivational ride for us and Ken. The plan currently is to do it in 2.5 days and take the train back. I want to push Ken to do it in 2 days, but will do whatever he wants in the end. I also plan to top it all off with a surfing lesson from Steve Hendricks when we arrive in La Jolla.
