For the last seven years, Jim Connors’ only form of outdoor exercise is an occasional bike ride. Connors rides around the West Beach parking lot on Monday afternoon, April 23, 2018, Santa Barbara, Calif. Connors, a Santa Barbara native, centered most of his youthful and adult physical activities around surfing and his love of the ocean. In the late 1970s he was enrolled in Santa Barbara City College Marine Diving and Technology program. In his teens, he was a member of the Santa Barbara Surfing Club, whose members included many of the sport’s legendary names, such as surfboard maker Renny Yater. Connors accepts the extreme risk he takes riding his bike, for if he falls it is virtually impossible for him to get up without assistance. When asked how long he will continue to ride his bike, he says with a big smile, “As long as I can.” When asked how long he will continue to service the pool and spa at Sea Meadow, he says, “As long as I can do a good jobl and as long as they will have me.” (©Stan Roden)
