Not everyone, but there is a lot of smug people. They just don't have that down home charm like Midwesterners and Southerners do. I was actually suprised by the number of really cool riders out here. The one good thing about California is that a lot of folks out here upgrade components, bikes, and other parts for no darn reason other than the latest year model is out. Thats awesome because I buy a lot of great barely used parts off of them. Talk about thrifty shopping.
I hear that CO is the place to ride though. The group that I ride with the most just took a rode trip to Fruita this year. Great reviews!
