Whose Voice is THAT?

That's my little sister Mimi. If you haven't already, click on the player on the left side of the home page. Mimi inherited my mom's incredible vocal cords. Through her work with David Byrne (of The Talking Heads), Michael Stipe (of REM), Moby, Bryan Eno (of Roxy Music) and others, Mimi made quite a name for herself within the music biz. She started as the lead singer of a band called Hugo Largo (which backed up the Sugar Cubes with Björk at a concert here in San Diego back in "the day"). These three songs are from her solo album called "Soak" and are available for listening and purchase at Amazon (MP3 format) and the iTunes Store. Enjoy!

Do you have a question about cycling in San Diego? Feel free to e-mail me (Dan Goese) and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

San Diego County has several "must do" rides. Whether you're born and raised here or just visiting for a few days, if you're really into cycling, there are many memorable road and mountain bike rides to take here any time of year. Favorites include Torrey Pines Grade and the coastal highway along the Pacific Ocean, Palomar Mountain (great climb), 5 faces of Mount Soledad, and many more. Anderson Truck Trail is a challenging course for those seeking some single-track MTB fun.

Brotherly Plug: Listen to 3 songs by my sister Mimi Goese by pressing the "play" icon just above the "home" button in the left column of this page.
