Hello, I am a cyclist looking to make a group of casual bike riders for a daily morning ride in the Eagle Rock / Pasadena area. I am not a hard core rider so rides of 10-20 miles tops is the goal, anywhere from 3 to 5 days a week. The rides will be of a moderate level of difficulty not exceeding 2 hours and more likely only an hour. The goal of every ride should be a cup of coffee at some point. All kidding aside please get in touch with me if you need some riding friends.

It is very hard to learn the nuances of watercolor without having someone who can see what you are doing and point out how changing your proc …
