Today was my first group ride, and I had a good time. Thanks everyone there for the wonderful experience.
Pablo and I left LA at 8 and headed south on 405. It was past nine when we got to Paul's house, where Paul, James and Marty were waiting. Paul showed us his workshop and his toys. By the time we arrived Starbucks, it was already tenish. Manjul actually found us right outside of Starbucks. With the addition of CJ, Debbie/Debra (?) and Roger, we had total of nine riders.
Ortega ride was fun. Hope to see everyone soon.

Best quote for this picture is:
Lets see... The rubber band is in here somewhere.
Or,
Are you sure you checked the fuse?
Or,
Pablo: "See, if I tickle her right here, under the headlight, in just the right spot, she'll start right up."
