Last week, my brother called my up and finally pulled the trigger on the Orbea we had in his size. Pretty sweet bike and a SMOKIN' deal thanks to my employee discount =D.
'09 Orbea Gavia
Ultegra, 105 mixed group. Not "blingy", but solid components proven to perform.
Mmm...10-speed...
I like the little Orbea "O" touches on the seat and brake calipers. Classy. And a Selle Italia saddle to boot. Very nice for his first road bike. 
So I wrapped up a recovery week last week and I put down February numbers duing my cycling test. Not bad considering I haven't ridden much since May.I spent Sunday and Monday doin' the lifeguard thing and keeping people from hurting themselves. Sunday, I pulled 3 kids out of the lagoon mouth rip at Torrey and Monday I nabbed a boogie boarder in the Seaside rip that claimed a life 4 years ago. I love what do.
Season's over. See you next year.

Nice!! Glad it'll be calming down soon :) Sort of.
We hit up La Jolla, but didn't even touch the sand :) Traffic sucked, though!
It's pretty cool that you get to be a hero almost every day, though, you must admit. I did my part to crowd a beach over Labor Day and headed over to Santa Cruz :) (...then ripped a gaping hole in my wetsuit. What's your take on duct tape as a wetsuit repair mechanism?)
I took your advice and cemented then sewed my wetsuit together. Tomorrow will be a test of my sewing skills...let's hope they're sufficient, or else it's going to be a freezing, draggy swim with a gaping hole in my torso! (Peeling it off, however, for the last time, should be easy since it'll just rip right off. :P
You've save me a time or two!
