We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Yeah but for the time being, I'm getting bukkakke'd upon with assignments by my professors. They took it easy on me before spring break. I can see why now.

Went on a chill 40 miler with only 2K elevation with a friend. Feel kind of ashamed I was too lazy to romp up hawk hill.

Once back in SF, I bought an awesome small mini bag from the folks at Mission Workshop (16th and Mission if anyone wants to visit them).



The "Sanction". A perfect size to house a macbook air and some clothes. Got a discount too. WIN!

Then met up with Jaytron to consume Chicken Tikka Masala burritos at a food truck alley. (Only ate half of mine, while Jaytron ate the entire thing cause he cray). We also bromantically shared a serving of CTM flavored sweet potato fries sprinkled with cheese.

Then went to Japantown and bought food things (Eel, rice, and furikake seasoning) and put it in the bag. The bag also helped bring home the other half of the CTM burrito.

Today I pulled my wheel several times during standing starts, broke a saddle, and decided to go back to racing my Tiemeyer.

Wow, it's been quite a day. Went to Oregon, hit random bar. Started playing around with this hotel finder app that just collects priceline, hotels.com, expedia, etc deals. Pretty much simultaneously met a cutie and scored a sweet double room for $60.

I threw my bike on the extra bed. Seems like there was a scavenger hunt thread for that, maybe I'll dig it up tomorrow.
