Huntington Beach, Calif. - Spring Forward... We had a beautiful afternoon in Huntington Beach today. It almost seemed like we were back to normalcy. Castañeda's had inside dining and 75 people showed up to share their bikes. We had a wide variety and fierce battle for Bike of the Month.

Probably because of the the time change, we had 45 people at 2:00 ready to go.
