Indecisive Youth

IY

I rode my bike down to watch these four nancyboys shred out a bunch of really old songs last night, probably for the last time.  As I was squatting in front of the monitors
taking pictures I had the feeling I had been in that same spot before.  One of thier first shows was in 1993 over in Farrell's family garage.  Yeah, it's been about 18 years since
Brian and I sneaked into the place parents hide presents and other shit like lawn darts and found the bass guitar his mom was giving him for Christmas.  I remember the look in
his eyes; "Dude!  We can start a band now."  Probably about a year later these guys all got together (- Rob / + Jevan Mondragg) and started playing. By Grapthar's Hammer, time sure does fly! 

So, out with the old and in with something worse.  According to these guys they are still playing but taking it to new places and might even have a new
name in the near future.  It must be hard to get together to play when your bandmates live across two states and are all doing working in different
careers and lifestyles.  I guess punks don't die, they just cash in.  These guys have cashed in on burritos.


The audio here is horrible and the video is jerky.  Good luck!

Northridge Marauders

Flume Trail Loop
41.4 Mile Flume Trail Loop
For those of you who use Google Earth, here is the file for the ride
if you want to see the stats in depth.

I couldn't sleep the night before this ride.  I wasn't nervous, I just wasn't tired.  At 1:30 in the morning the lights in the garage were supervising my McGyverish attempts to mount my Garmin to a bike where there is no mount.  I came up with a pretty bomb-proof velcro solution and went to bed.  My alarm was set for 7:00 but for some reason I woke up at 6:00 thinking it was later.  I packed my stuff up and met the group out in the center of Northridge.  We set out on a quest for fun and boy oh boy did we find it.  I've been told that we had 4,491 feet of elevation gain an total on the ride.  My GPS said that we had 5:14 in the saddle and 1:40 of rest time.  I had a measly 43.4 Mph max speed which I'm sure is weak sauce compared to the other riders.  I'm not nearly as sore as I thought I would be but my body is sapped of energy.  Check out the pics below and follow the links to see how things went.  You can click here if you want, be warned it's a slideshow and I can understand if you have a hatred of them.
