Cars n that
Just had my first weekend in Folsom, and got up to this and that. Went for a ride down through town and over to the lake. It didn't quite have the excitement of my usual loop round Emmerdale but the main street in town was pretty good. They've preserved all the old saloons and shops as they were in wild west times. More like Lovejoy than Deadwood these days.
They have a real old time railway as well but I'm saving that for another weekend. Don't wanna run out of attractions too soon do I!
Yo check out my whip son!
Work sorted me out with a Pontiac G6 GT. Somebody out there thought it would be a good idea to put 3.5l V6 in an average family saloon. I think I agree. This is easily the most ridiculous car I've ever driven. I unintentionally (seriously) get the wheels spinning at every other set of traffic lights and that's with the traction control on. and no rear wiper. whats that all about??
Found a kick ass bike park 2 miles from my hotel. They don't open when it rains and it rained this weekend so no go but gonna pop in during the week have a go.
Check the video, cos like Ron Burgundy, this place is the balls!

First Post Y'all!
Eyup, I thought a few of you might want updating on what I'm up to during my placement to CA. So I've started this blog to put up a few pictures from places I'd bet none of you would consider visiting. Not that its not nice up here, just a bit off the beaten track. 
Well I arrived on sunday night n they've hooked me up with a nice little serviced apartment over in Folsom. They said they didn't mind me sticking my bike in there but they havnt seen how much crap i can get on it. (^click on the picture to bigulate^)
These bad boys get topped up every day so I'm probably not gonna have any teeth when i get back. Macro!
This is the view from the back of our office.
Gonna head into town on saturday check the vibe. If its not like Night at the Roxbury I'm gonna be seriously disappointed! Seeya!
