we need a bike only freeway from sac to san jose amiright? =>
then another one from stinson beach to san jose.
then san jose to LA.

let's be the first to do it in america. then we can call it BIKEWAY 1. and in 10 years bikeway will be a verb.

or we could start with more bike lanes?

lol... but in all seriousness, i could bike there in the same amount of time, if there were no stop lights and and it was a straight shot, haha

Occupy the PCH

Today my stem came in the mail so I wrapped my bars and put them on my bike.

carnita burrito, 100 pushups, 30min fast ride on the rollers.

was called on the carpet today to be told that i'm the #1 pick for the hostage negotiation team. but i still have complete the two week academy in May. 24/7 random mess with you/stress you out/push your buttons/try and get you to snap. heh, bring it, the state can't possibly torture me to the degree my fraternity did to get in..... :)

Flites have short, awkwardly placed rails. I maintain that they do not belong on zero setback seatposts unless they're slammed all the way back.

I don't really see what's so fancy about it. Looks like a typical 1 1/8 stem to me. A carbon front plate does not really add anything.

I love FSA headsets though.

Today I looked in my closet and found at least $500 worth of things I have no attachment to.

I also fell in love with the vigorelli again <3

vig 4 me?

Am I the only one that feels weird looking at a track bike with knobby tires?

It's definitely weird, but I have a strange attraction to that bike.

I feel like I have seen that same bike a long time ago or a similar Vig set up like that, and I love the hell out of it every time.

no

Honestly, I do not understand the attraction to cinelli. Especially ones that are not ridden on the track. Actually any track bike ridden off the track, for purposes other than training, baffles me. A track bike with knobby tires? That would be the wrong geometry for anything ridden where knobby tires are necessary. But if you ONLY had a track bike, and switched wheels/cog/chain for different terrain I suppose I could jive with that.

That first jump was the funniest

I'm amazed those tires even fit

Today sucked.

Carbon faceplates make things fancy. I'm sure of it.

Darn weather... I'm experiencing what you guys in norcal did earlier this week. Seriously, today what began as a sunny and warm day turned into a rainstorm. Adding insult to injury it let up temporarily when I got back. Tomorrow is going to be no better.

It's super super windy here. Sucks. I wish we had more rain in NorCal.

today i finally had some pliny the younger (with cc700)

My roommate just gave me two bottles of scotch, one Glenlivet, one Dalwhinnie.

I have never had Dalwhinnie, but I ****ing love Glenlivet.

try to find some ardbeg if you like to taste the peat!

Today I:

Woke up in South Lake Tahoe to this:

Drove to get a rental board (I am buying my own at the end of the season). Friend/coworker in the pic:

The snow was AMAZING. Unfortunately, the visibility wasn't. Group pic (me, friend/coworker, brother; from left to right)

This was at the base of the run, where visibility was GOOD:

Seriously it was like a white-out on most of the runs after about 12pm.

Tomorrow should be much more clear, with the same quality snow :D WOOT!

What resort? Northstar?

Today I was sad because my tax return never came in. Blasted IRS.

I would kill a small child to ride that powder. **** you and your WRX wagon (yellow is my favorite color, and WRX wagons are my favorite car), and your incredible snowfall. I am jealous.
