Sitting around in a park waiting for riders to show up. No one showing up. I swear midnightridazz have gotten lazy. The moment you add the word challange and erase the words party and drunk, every one loses interest. I have even been keeping slow to not scare people away :-/


It looks like riding alone tonight. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5141040

Hard to dodge a kid with no lights doing a U-turn into you without looking.

Naw, **** bike party. If you go, be careful. A lot of drunk people, and just generally people that can't ride in a straight line. Assume that everyone is about to hit you. Bike party is the reason I had to build a new road bike and couldn't ride a bike for half my summer.

Go anyway, don't be a party poop.

I've never been to SJ, only going because some girl asked if I was interested, so I said sure because I need to leave Monterey for a bit.

Today I picked up my new handlebars and wrapped them with Fizik Microtex (it's the only bar tape I buy just like T-Servs are the only tire I buy--exceptions occur when I find a good sale) in a nearby park. It was kinda weird to do the job outside, especially since it was crazy windy today. They're awesome though. Salsa Short & Shallow ergo drops. Now I can actually ride in the drops without feeling like I'm going to die, an opportunity that my dumb tarck drops never afforded. I've never felt so good in the drops before.

homebrewk 10-21-11 10:06 AM

How much would it cost?

yummygooey 10-21-11 10:12 AM

It's pretty expensive. From what I've read online at least $400.

Just to save on airline over size fees... :lol:

Well a round trip with a packed full size bike is only $100 on southwest.

yummygooey 10-21-11 10:29 AM

Yea it really depends how much you travel.

Also, S&S couplers are cool.

+1 amtrak sucks and costs more than flying... not to mention slower.... not to mention there's possibly times where yo have to take a bus to the next station.

Loryn 10-21-11 10:50 AM

Today I'm going to do a whole day of riding on no sleep, and a considerably lower gear ratio because I can't fit my legs through my jeans. :-/

I got a birthday to go to at Santana Row. :\

I actually live near one of the start points too. I almost thought of going.

Today I crossed off a goal on my 2011 goal list. Do the 3 insanely hard climbs 3 days in a row on the 930. I earned tomorrow's session @ the pumptrack.

Leukybear 10-21-11 09:09 PM

We left early to Irvine for the MS bay to bay tour tomorrow; what was supposed to take a little under an hour stretched to 3 bumper to bumper; socal rubbernecking is the worst.

Rode ten miles to a fundraiser, cooked at said fundraiser next to former bosses of mine that are considered some of the best chefs in America. It was nice to run out of my dish an hour before theirs ran out even though I had more food, but it was even nicer to have the man who is considered one of the best chefs in the world telling me that my food is outstanding and that he's proud to have me as a former employee. Then, I wandered around the event eating the other chef's food, drinking obscene amounts of whisky, and socializing with the other chefs realizing that I've actually begun to "make it". Then I rode home and now I'm gonna go get hammered. Fantastic evening.
