Farewell So. Cal.















Pacific Coast Highway (PCH)


First let me apologize for all the typo's in the last post even though I'm pretty
sure this post will be filled with them as well. I'm am still adjusting to Pacific Standard time which should help nicely with adjusting back to Eastern Standard time
tomorrow!!! or maybe not.
Well, Sadly today is our last day with the guys at Cervelo. They have been fantastic.
I cannot express how impressed I have been with this company. Unlike most bicycle
companies who really tend to follow other market trends, Cervelo consistenly sets
the trend to follow. It's evident with every bike they manufacture. It's all about the engineering to make the best possible bike. They cut no corners and are absolutly clear about what they are setting out to do. I have actually been stunned with how simple their approach is and why every other company doesn't do the exact same thing. but enough about that.








Last night we ate at a great restaurant on the PCH call "Vigilucci's" We had a 6 course meal that ended with a very nice Grappa. Now most of us had heard of grappa, but didn't quite know what it was....Tom from Cervelo gave us the low down and we all had a nice "Salute"
Great evening....more than likely the cause for all my typos.
This morning after our last seminars, we rode down the PCH for 2.5 hours. WOW!!!
The Pacific and terrain was beautiful! Drew and I both rode R3 SL's. They were phenomenal. Drew says it was the closest he ever felt to a bike... He loved it.
So now we wait for the Ice storm to pass and hope our flight is not delayed so we
can get home and share all the little bits of info from the week. Thanks again to Cervelo for having us out and taking such good care of us. It's really been a great time!!!. See you all soon!
