Rode from Anaheim Stadium to Huntington Beach this morning. It was overcast and cool, but not cold and windy like the last couple of weeks. Summer is here and with summer comes the crowds. The boardwalk was packed with people who shouldn't be on bicycles and it's quite dangerous to ride at any speed because the kids and adults alike don't look before stepping out from between parked cars or away from stores and bathrooms. 
 

The newest thing at the beach seems to be beach soccer and today they were having a tournament of some sort.  The photo above is of Zacks, which is located at Pacific Coast Hwy. and Beach Blvd.  This where Karen and I meet when I finish my ride.  In the off season Zacks is closed and the beach is pretty deserted.  Today was definitely a summer crowd. 

Karen couldn't get our usual parking meter just up the street and had to park in a pay lot.  $15 to park, plus if you wanted to use a credit card it was an extra $2.85 for the bank fee.  We usually put $6 in the meter. 

Damn banks don't make enough money, they have to hit up the businesses for fees to handle credit card transactions which in turn the businesses get from the customer.  Last week I bought gas at a Mobil station and they charged less for cash than to use their own credit card!!!!  Damn banks!!!
