Kijubi Freezing? Head to the Sunshine State!

Cold weather got you down?

I know my car is here somewhere....

We can’t complain here in Laguna Beach, but our friends back east say it’s freezing!   When the pipes start to freeze and you find yourself sitting around the house in a down jacket, there’s only one thing to do….head south to the Sunshine state.

One of the only truly tropical zones in the US, Florida offers amazing opportunities to find fun and adventures outdoors. Kijubi has teamed up with tour and adventure guides from all over the state to make sure you can find the fun on your next visit to our nation’s preeminent peninsula.

Among the more unique experiences we offer is a chance to get up close and personal with the friendliest of marine mammals, the Manatee.  Strictly vegetarians, Manatess can reach up to 2,000 lbs, but are known to be among the most gentle and playful creatures to inhabit the marshy coastal areas of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Going snorkeling with the Manatees in Crystal River is perfect for adventurers of all ages, and a great light impact group activity for families or seniors.

If you find yourself near Orlando at the right time of the month, check out the Full Moon Kayak Tour over the Winter Park chain of lakes.  A perfect activity for experienced paddlers or first-time kayakers, this trip will give you a truly unique perspective on the natural beauty that southern Florida has to offer.

Don’t feel like getting wet?  No problem…how about a bike tour through the Mangroves in the magnificent Anne Kolb Nature Conservatory or renting a Harley and cruising down Alligator Alley.

There’s no shortage of great Floridian adventures available from Kijubi. As soon as you’re able to dig your car out of the snow, make a beeline down the 95 towards the sunshine state, but be sure to check our site first to find out What Kijubi Doing on your trip.

Borat vs The 'Lady Knicker': When Good Cycling Gear Goes Bad

The Borat Knicker

The Lady Knicker

I recently blogged about the questionable outfits that seem to be de riguer for those wanting to play golf, however I have just seen something even more alarming on this blog. Called the “Lady Knicker”, this strange looking outfit is apparently the new must-have of the female cycling world. I can absolutely understand the necessity for comfortable, stretchy and breathable clothing when you are hunched over a racing bike for a few hours, and appreciate that Swiss biking company Assos has put a lot of research into creating this suit that is ‘designed to anatomically contour the female body’, however it seems to me that it leaves the delicate and, let’s face it, potentially bouncy upper region of said female body dangerously unsupported. Oh, hold on a second, it’s not that you aren’t supposed to wear something under/over the ‘Lady Knicker’, it’s just another case of ‘Sex Sells’. Silly me.

As an afterthought: having seen the photos of the LK, I knew that I had seen something like this before, and finally the penny dropped when I checked out this blog . At least Borat is getting the support he so badly needs.
