Live and Die in LA

Just wanted to let anyone interested know that they should ride tomorrow. Right now the ride is set for Westwood but can go anywhere, as long as good food and somekind of bikeshop is thrown in. If anyone is interested just post something. I feel like Pasadena should REP because I have not heard any thing of Chinatown spoken in a minute.

I'm going to complain and say Westwood is too far. Heh.

Dim Sum will happen again, I promise!

I'd be down for a ride tomorrow though.

Oh yes, wrath is good. I will try to get my sweet bianchi pista built so we can ride. But all jokes aside, I am trying to make it up to Oakland when my friend gets back from Japan. Maybe I will experience the wrath before January.

I went to school in IN were he is from. Jacob is a good kid, he told me he was crashing on couches until he got back. So I was goin to give him sometime to maybe find a job. This way he can take my broke ass out to dinner, when I come. Because he will probably blow it all gamblin at the Keirin races. I was suppose to come up in Sept, but I have been workin 12 hour days. But I am ready to come up. I wanted to come up for Bicycle film fest, but things just didnt work out. Well tell Jacob, Kyle says hello and he needs to buy me some Japanese toys.

Oh. I thought something may had been planned already. I'm debating between a couple of mtn bike rides tomorrow, but it'll depend on how early I wake up. I'll post up tomorrow if I overslept the mtn bike rides.

All I have seen is Pistas, besides from the kids I ride with. Dont let it get you down, just look at it like this.
The Pista is chrome, chrome is extremely reflective and what better than something extremely reflective tocheck one's self out in. I mean I find my self doin this an awful lot when I am goin in for the kill.

So are there any stone plans yet? I am off work at 2, and can be in Westwood very quickly. I also nominate D'amores pizza as the "food' portion of the ride.

Well, I'm going on a hike at 11ish I believe. Since we're all lame and refuse to decide on a concrete plan, shall we plan for an afternoon ride?

Afternoon is good. I assume that beer will be involved in some way?

Do you want to just meet at D'Amores at say 2:30, or did you want to eat later?

I say we make it three and you tell me where D'Amores is. I might make it, I might not, but at least they'll be a solid plan.
