Just got back from a group ride with my bay area cycling buddies. Good times; did a lot of catching up, a good bunch of them had new steads too! Had to borrow a loaner bike through from the LBS, on the house.

Fun! It's always nice to catch up with old friends.

there are these trenchcoat mafia kids that play that on sunday nights at the coffee shop by my house. very srs bizness apparently.


im assuming you mean tube, not tire: every time im on a bike. a rolled up tube is barely bigger than a clif bar or an iphone.

multitool[crank bros one with allens and chainbreaker], tube, inflator, irons. i stuff it all down the front of my pants to impress sqrls

I always have a tube in my bag as well. The one time I actually needed a tube, I didn't have my ****ing bag.

:lol:

I do have some World Championship cards though from 2006. Not sure if they are even worth anything but I'm looking into it.

I used to play Magic a lot. Went to some tournaments here and there. I lost like half of my cards, but if I had them all.. I'd have like, 4 huge boxes of them, not including lands lol.


Today I had a pretty good day. Almost finished reading Art of Wheelbuilding and am very excited to start my build.

I always have a tube and patch kit with me.

Thats a possibility. But for now, I'm emailing BD, and hoping like hell that they'll send me a replacement arm/set, or my LBS has replacement arms for like $15-20

Today I:

Started throwing together the bits and pieces of my CX bike...

Just rode around town today. Got fed some sweet Indian food for helping a friend move her furniture around.

Nice nds pic. Haha, just kidding. Looking good manno.

Today I set out to do the Paradise Loop.

Instead, I did a metric century and climbed a mountain to 2,000 ft.

Tomorrow I will be a slob.

Man that Rueben looks sweet!!! You gotta let us know how it rides. That frame is so sick and the disc brakes are cool. The Exile from Traitor also looks really nice.

A lot of people I know (including me) headed out to Sausalito/Tiburon area today. I think part of it is due to the fact that the bike lane is open on the Golden Gate now.

cruised in the city to catch some pics at sunset.

I'm in the east bay so I don't tend to cross the bay much during rides especially with how spaced out the time table is on saturdays bah, HORRIBLE! We went from Hayward to Mt. Hamilton & back.

I went to the large annual gallery opening and met a man that's connected to pretty much the whole LA art community. He just started talking to me out of no where and then later on Jack Black starts chit chatting with him at one of the galleries. :twitchy: how the what i dont know what just arg How do I make connections. I am socially ********

all the beer and wine was gone before I could get any :cry:

You just answered your own question buddy. ;)
It helps to use an ice breaker in the form of a time appropriate question or comment through. For example, in a conversation with more than one person, "I'm sorry but I overheard you were talking about __________, well I _________."

rolled around town all day. WHCBP championships. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6173/...753cbe39b1.jpg
rode the nishiki, rode the fuji, loved life.

But I dont talk. It all gets backed up and dumped out here on BF. I guess iof I keep going to gallery opening I will see him again

Roamed around Tokyo (Asakusa, Ginza, Ueno, and Shibuya) with just my camera. It was hot, but saw some cool stuff and ate good food. I wish I had my bike with me over here :/

Which makes the perfect excuse to pick up an NJS bike. :thumb:

Today is my birthday, and I think I want to try and sell my Kilo to buy a Retrogression Excel frameset

Edit: I also woke up in the middle of the night with a Hall's coughdrop still in my mouth. Disgustinggg

Happy birthday Calv! Better hurry 'cause we're running out! (Who the hell is buying them? Isn't everyone in the world on BikeForums? :lol:)

I've done this. It left my mouth feeling all scaly and furry.
