What is the weather like there this time of year? It looks overcast, but I'm thinking that could also be smog?

That's smog - in Guangzhou, it'll be in the low 70's.

Greg, what's up? This is Justin Self, we met @ Greg Walls house. I work @ the Bike Tech in Oly, if you remember...Anyway, I thought I'd contact you to see how your doing w/ the NW Dirt Culture 2 movie? I think it's possible to run a video release party in Oly or possibly at Gregs on a projection screen. Let me know your thoughts on that sometime. That's cool that you're in China, I use to assist a couple of manufacturers from there w/ business in the U.S. I hope your trip rocks. Cool snapshots that were attached. Enjoy, BrakecheckJustin.

I'm still in Seattle - I leave for China on Sunday. After this trip I will have just under 250k miles for this year. This will be my 9th trip to Asia this year. Hmm, no wonder I didn't get to ride my bike that much this year.

Hey Justin, Yes, Loreto and I are often mistaken for one another.

Still editing...... The day job has been biting into my time, but it's the one that pays the bills.

Here is a sequence of Justin in action!!!
