Threshold and sweetspot intervals on today's ride. Legs were amazing given the extreme amounts of riding I have done in the past two weeks.

Being a dork I think your front tire is on backwards.

Very easy spin for 53miles with some friends, did some minor exploring in the chilly weather just for fun.
Ended up seeing the new terminal at LAX under construction and an Quantas Airbus A380 up close (not pictured)

Picture taken by a friend of an Air China taxiing towards the runway.

Agree, however the other thing I noticed is the amazingly cheap lunch! 55 cents for a can of Coke!

That's .55 Euro... which is about .75 USD, which is pretty much the going rate for a can of phosphoric acid and sugar in most small, non-chain eateries in the US, even in Los Angeles which has a notoriously high (and unjustified) cost of living. Unless you live somewhere where it is somehow more costly?

For further reference it is spelt 'QANTAS' which is actually an acronym for 'Queensland and Northern Territory Air Services'. Qantas began as a regional airline before it became a national carrier.
