It was the one of the streets I had ridden with Paco on Tuesday. <\/span><\/p>\n It’s a shortcut he uses to avoid hills and make his work a little easier. <\/span><\/p>\n It takes a little more time, he told me, but it’s worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n It really is.<\/span><\/p>\n peace and love, jq<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" August 18, 2017 Reporter Field Notes Take a chance on yourself By Jerry Quijano If you’re feeling lost, that’s OK.
