Bringing Cabo Home

Lattes and cycling were replaced with swimming and regular coffee. Wifi and stress traded places with beer and Cabo's "no bad days". Work and homework? Tossed out the window for beaches and fun. The kids learned to scuba dive in the pool and dive under waves at the beach. My wife, instead of being the last one home from work was the  last one in from snorkeling. I even managed to hit two of my "best golf shots ever" this year for my semi-annual attempt at swinging sticks on the golf course.

As much as I need the miles, the mental cleansing I received in BCS makes us realize
how ridiculous our lives are back home. I didn't miss cycling this week. Not one bit. But was excited to find out, at one resort I could have rented a nice cross bike for only $20 per day. I even saw a daily tour of cyclists riding between  Cabo and San Jose. Personally I don't believe Cabo is ready for prime time cycling. Especially not with kids. But this was the first time in ten years of visiting Cabo that I had ever seen roadies. Would be amazing to see these rolling highways become the Oregon of BCS on the world of cycling. It could happen.

More than a trip away from the bike, this was a retreat away from our busy lifestyles. A reminder that our busy schedules are self inflicted choices. This time, I'm bringing a bit of Cabo home. No bad days at home should really be what it's all about.
