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. But first check out the resources
here. Start with our list
of rides (including GPS-generated maps, mileage
and elevation gain) from La Jolla. 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 (a 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.

I don't remember everyone I
