Hahahaha. Thanks, Jesse. Leuky, I (and the other two guys, Adam and Dan) went on all 6 Rapha Cycle Club-lead rides over the Festive 500km Challenge, including a 106mi century. For that, we got mugs made with our caricatures to be displayed in the Cycle Shop. We will be getting our own as well.

Today I: accepted an offer to join a fellow WPH:SF rider and his teammate on the MASH NAHBS TT race to Sac. 71mi, fixed. Should be ****ing awesome; I'm stoked.

Ferry from Jack London all the way. It's pretty breath taking if you decide to sit out doors on the upper level of the ferry and feel the wind in your face, plus you get a up close and personal view of the bay bridge as approach and eventually you go under it.

Today I finally fixed my flat tire, only took 2 weeks. My bike looks weird going from 35c tires to 25c tires.

I don't know if I'm going yet, but if I do I'll be sure to say hi!

Lol thanks dude. I find it jilarious that you're giving me advice when I live in Oakland.

Take your big ring :)

Today I actually got a session in at the pumptrack/dirt jumps.

today I am still waiting for the light I ordered from Hong Kong

I hope this mfer is worth the wait, charlie!

Review of it when you get it please. Looks similar to the Magicshine stuff.

Found our new polo spot. Bonus: I've got an in with the city's Parks & Rec administration, so we might be able to make it permanent. It'd be freakin' awesome if we could paint some lines on it.

Also I was riding along on the bike path, tires FULL of mud from my failed mountain bike session, and ate total **** trying to take a hairpin turn way too fast. First time I've crashed my bike since I was a teenager. There were 3 feet of skid marks from my bike sliding sideways, it was hilarious.

Today I:

1. wrote my old non-landlord to give me my deposit money back for the apt i never moved into. only what's reasonable, not the whole month's rent that i only used a day and a half of.
2. interviewed at my favorite bike shop
3. lunch latte with jdg
4. facebooked way too much
5. rode the nature boy
6. finished a roll off the black slim devil
7. considered selling my iro wheelset and after this post will put it up on CL
8. enjoyed the sun
9. shared http://cyclistthings.tumblr.com/
10. grooved to http://vimeo.com/18020585

after experimenting with all kinds - dropbars, flatbars, barends ...

visited Cal Poly. I liked it.

Today I vowed to never buy panaracer RimBo's again. Talk about a pain in the ass to mount.

Tames the most stubborn of tires.

I need this magical item.

for me, it's called a flathead screwdriver. Don't hate...

To stay on topic, today I read about 250 pages for classes.

im hatin.... i would NEVER use a screwdriver to mount a tire... for so many reason.......

QFMFT you might slip and have the screwdriver ricochet and go into your forehead.

one of the many reasons.

Dude, a bead jack costs 12 bucks. Why the **** would you use a screwdriver?

Today its beautiful outside. Today I have to be in work/class/inside until about 4:00pm. Today sucks.

Kool Stop bead jack ftw. It's seriously the best.

Today I - so ****ing dizzy....feels bad man
