I was introduced to these via conversation with one of our customers who ordered mountain bikes for a trip with his buddies. Unaware of this destination, I asked where these were. You’ve never heard of this spot? No. Unfortunately I had not, but was so eager to google it I hopped on the internet ASAP. In addition to being a destination for some beautiful, natural hot springs, it’s also a common destination for skinnydippers and skinnysoakers alike… hmmm. Located just southeast of Hesperia, Deep Creek Hot Springs are a cluster of natural hot springs with various temperatures that are accesible by foot or bike. To get there, hike a vigorous 2-miles or meander the 6-mile trail… the choice is yours. Either way, the pictures I’ve googled are amazing and definitely scream fun! I’ve stumbled upon plenty of sites that provide directions and other important information. In addition, I discovered a very cool site that’s a great resource for natural hot springs in California, Colorado and other places in the country.

I recently blogged about the questionable outfits that seem to be de riguer for those wanting to play golf, however I have just seen something even more alarming on this blog. Called the “Lady Knicker”, this strange looking outfit is apparently the new must-have of the female cycling world. I can absolutely understand the necessity for comfortable, stretchy and breathable clothing when you are hunched over a racing bike for a few hours, and appreciate that Swiss biking company Assos has put a lot of research into creating this suit that is ‘designed to anatomically contour the female body’, however it seems to me that it leaves the delicate and, let’s face it, potentially bouncy upper region of said female body dangerously unsupported. Oh, hold on a second, it’s not that you aren’t supposed to wear something under/over the ‘Lady Knicker’, it’s just another case of ‘Sex Sells’. Silly me.

As an afterthought: having seen the photos of the LK, I knew that I had seen something like this before, and finally the penny dropped when I checked out this blog . At least Borat is getting the support he so badly needs.
