Cool Breeze Century Ride - 10th annual

The Cool breeze Century bicycle ride starts in Ventura this year before going to Santa Barbara. Every year for the past 10 years this has been one of the more popular Century rides in the Los Angeles surrounding area.

There is a climb starting at mile 30 which travels up the back side of Cassidas Lake totaling around 850 feet of evavation in 3 miles or so. It is just a steady climb without any switchbacks. The Cool Breeze Century is considered one of the easier rides coming at the end of the riding season. I am really looking forward to it this year.


This is the patch that is given away this year. For a look at previous years patches you can take a look here.

One of the interesting things to do when participating in these Century rides is to collect the jerseys that are available at these events. This years Cool Breeze Jersey looks very "cool" and goes for $65.00 dollars.



I will be posting all of my pictures from the ride probably on Sunday. After this ride and the drive back from Ventura, I will not be in any mood to do too much work on the computer. You can give me that much.

USC Student ID Card and stuff

This is the last weekend of freedom before school starts on Monday and I will be making the most of it. All the little ducks are in a neat row and I am ready for the gauntlet starting this coming week. I had the chance to run over to the USC campus this afternoon to sit for my student photo and ID Card. It even comes with money you can use from the card at most places around the USC campus including the USC cafe's and bookstores. These are the places that I plan on spending money anyway. I just had them bill my student account for a couple of hundred bucks so that I could have "cash" available on the student ID card. Now I am official!

USC Football season is coming and the tickets are at a discount for students. Yipeeeee! I am going to try to get a couple of ticket to the Notre Dame game and maybe the UCLA cross town game. I will be updating the Blog on these happenings.

For all of my friends back at UCLA. Thank you for your friendship and all that you have taught me about life and the practice of medicine these past many years. When it comes to football, I am sorry but UCLA sucks! And USC is King ranked #1 in the AP plole. Hail to the Champions because the Trojans rule. At least here in Los Angeles. Last year I have to remind you that USC was NATIONAL Champion and had the Hessman trophy winner. This year is a new start and let the chips fall where they will. I plan on enjoying it all. Thanks to you UCLA for the many years of friendship. I will think of you occasionally, especially when USC is kicking butt down the football field. See you later.
