was riding la jolla pier when i was out in october for the breeders cup and also huntington and sunset...was pretty tame the few days i was out though...and as fer it bein cold in the atlantic...wear a wetsuit and suck it up...look at those damn people in the hudson river two weeks ago...i didn't hear any of them complainin...and they weren't out there fer fun either...Yea I don't get out much up here in the Bay Area even tho I could probably cruise to the Ocean Beach or Santa Cruz. But everytime I head downsouth, I usually ride at La Jolla Pier or 22nd street in Manhattan.
